‘Highest levels of domestic abuse’ usually recorded this time of year- FSN
This is according to Family Support Network’s Mrs Judith M. Charles.
“The tragedy of this time of year, when the season is one of goodwill, is that it is also the time of year where we record the highest levels of domestic abuse,” Charles stated during a cheque presentation to Family Support Network (FSN) by Drakes Traders Limited on Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
The hardware store in Fish Bay had donated $10,000 to FSN.
Medium to long-term solution for persons in abusive homes
Charles also stated that the needs for each client coming to FSN seeking support in escaping a domestic abuse situation varies and that arrangements are in place to accommodate those that need shelter, “but the cost, which includes 3 basic meals per day per person, is not a constant or something we can adequately budget for based on our assured annual income.
“The same goes for professional counselling that is essential to help people break away from the cycle of abuse and rebuild their self-confidence to start building a sustainable new life away from their abuser.”
Ms Charles continued that the aim of FSN is to provide a medium-to-long term solution for people in abusive situations, “where staying with the abuser seems like the only option based on their income, status or threats levelled at them or their children should they leave the home.”

"The awful outcome of parental alienation is the complete separation of a child or children from a parent. Even more dreadful is that it is deliberately caused, maliciously done, and entirely preventable. This terrible form of child abuse has long-lasting effects for all concerned." (GLENN CARTWRIGHT, PHD)
Thirty-five years ago, when I fought for access to my three children in the BVI, the term parental alienation had only just been coined. There were no books on the subject and no guidance for those expected to advise and judge.
