🚨A Mother’s Worst Nightmare - When the System Chooses the Wrong Side I was contacted by a follower whose story should shake every parent. Her daughter disclosed abuse by her father. There was a partial admission in the CAFCASS report. Instead of protecting the child, the mother has been...

Yesterday on ITV’s Loose Women , I shared about a judge threatening a rape survivor. He said that if she continued with her allegations, her child would be taken into care. It was a chilling abuse of power—and a horrific example of how deeply broken our family court system truly is. Worse still, incidents like these are not isolated. I share several examples of survivors facing harm in the courtroom in my book, He Said She Said. But family court judges operate with judicial immunity, meaning they cannot be held personally accountable, even when their decisions cause direct harm. Survivors of abuse (many already re-traumatised by the legal process) are left with no recourse when the very institution meant to protect their children instead threatens to punish them for speaking the truth. In one case I represented, a mother, a rape survivor, was forced to fight for her daughter’s safety when CAFCASS recommended unsupervised contact between the child and father, convicted serial rapist Kristoffer Paul Arthur White. Why? Because the family court system clings to the misguided presumption that a child’s contact with any parent, even one proven to be abusive, is better than no contact at all. As someone who grew up in a home shadowed by domestic abuse and alcoholism, I can say with absolute certainty: no parent is far better than an abusive one. The current system prioritises the rights of abusers to maintain control, rather than the rights of children to be safe and of mothers to be believed. This has to change. We need a family court system that listens to survivors, holds judges accountable, and stops endangering children and survivors through a pro-contact culture. We owe survivors better. We owe children better. We need to continue speaking out until the system is no longer a silent accomplice to abuse.

The system is broken, but people don’t realise it until it’s too late and they themselves are in it. Most of the public still believes the legal system operates with fairness, integrity, and justice. But those who enter the family courts—especially victim-survivors of abuse—discover something very different. They learn that the system is not designed to protect them or their children. They learn that speaking up is punished. They learn that “contact at all costs” is the default, even when it means placing children with abusers. In the recently released documentary, Kate Kniveton bravely shares how draining the process has been: financially, emotionally, and psychologically. But she’d do it all again to protect her child. Every survivor-parent I have represented has looked into the jaws of family court, steeled themselves, and continued fighting on, doing whatever it takes to protect their children. And I've seen the family court harm them in ways the abuse they escaped never could. These women's courage is extraordinary. They deserve safety and belief. For now, Kate and her child are safe. But the future is uncertain because the law still presumes contact is in a child’s best interests, even when there’s clear evidence of abuse. As I argue in He Said She Said, this presumption is not just outdated—it is dangerous. It protects perpetrators and punishes protective parents, especially mothers. Kate’s story is one of rare legal recognition. But the system she faced is routine. And while her bravery has helped expose the reality of the family courts, we should not expect survivors to carry this burden alone. We must change the law. End the presumption of contact. Protect children. Believe survivors.

Carol O’Reilly was subjected to a horrifying, near-fatal assault by a man who left her with permanent brain damage, broken bones, memory loss, and a life forever altered. But what’s almost as appalling is the catastrophic failure of Police Scotland to protect her. After a public assault that left her barely conscious, officers made the incomprehensible decision to put her in a police van with her abuser. He was not arrested. He was not restrained. Instead, he was allowed to talk his way out of handcuffs. He prevented her from receiving treatment at the hospital and took her back to a hotel, where the violence continued. This appears to be systemic misogyny in action. This case exposes a fundamental lack of understanding by the police of domestic abuse dynamics. Time and again, police treat abuse as a private matter or fail to grasp the power and control abusers exert over victims. The result? Women like Carol suffer unimaginable violence while institutions charged with protecting them actively place them in harm’s way. Carol’s courage in speaking out is extraordinary, but she should never have had to survive this in the first place. Her attacker was jailed, but no officer has been held to account. The police response is being hidden behind confidentiality clauses, and Carol hasn’t even been allowed to see the report about what happened to her. The time for quiet reviews and empty apologies is over. We need systemic reform, transparency, and accountability now.

🚨 BC mom takes compelled land acknowledgment battle to Supreme Court: Drea Humphrey After being banned from her children’s school for speaking out against a land acknowledgment, Lara Yates is challenging the decision in court with support from the Free Speech Union. In today’s report, Lara Yates (Lara Yates🇨🇦), a Sechelt, B.C. mother of four and her counsel, Lisa Bildy (Lisa Bildy), join Rebel News to discuss Yates’s ongoing legal battle against land acknowledgment rituals in public schools. Since December 2025, Yates has been banned from attending her children’s school, Chatelech Secondary, after she publicly opposed a land acknowledgment she was subjected to ahead of her child’s performance. Her children were also temporarily barred, but the fallout didn’t stop there. According to Yates, her daughter was singled out by staff due to her mother’s verbal protest against the racially charged mantra, causing her to be bullied and distressed. But instead of an apology, Yates claims her child was reported to protective services. The investigation was quickly closed with no concerns. Still, some of the damage was already done, leaving Yates’ children feeling unwelcome at the town’s only high school, especially when their own mother couldn’t set foot on the property. But Yates hasn’t given up. To defend free speech, parental rights, and seek a fair resolution for her and her children, Yates reached out to the Free Speech Union. The non-profit, supported by donations, has since taken on her case, first by appealing the principal’s decision to the superintendent of District 46, arguing that it was an “improper punishment of a parent for her political views and was contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” Following the district’s decision to uphold the ban, Bildy is representing Yates as she takes the matter to the B.C. Supreme Court.
