A coincidences have made it easier today to write this blog. The first is that a few weeks ago an acquaintance of mine asked me to help her in some need borders on the medical and legal. I explain: This person is very hurt because the child's father left her a few months ago and now has a new partner. It is not agreed that the father and son are also alternate weekends, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I asked him what were the reasons for wanting this distance, nothing desirable in principle between parent and offspring. The answers were vague and confusing and hidden emotional pain a comprehensive breakdown couple and a pervasive desire for revenge in which the child was the weapon of execution. Obviously a sad situation for everyone, but especially harmful to the child concerned.
Once explained the situation and asked about my role in this case: a mediator between the two to reach an agreement? No, would have to certify that she was being subjected to "mistreatment" in this way for judicial intervention fulminant avoid visits by the father to his son. Obviously I refused to extend that favor mainly to avoid being complicit in this mess and also condemn an \u200b\u200binnocent child few years to grow up without a father and, above, thought it was a criminal. This person was angry enough not to want to participate in something that was to extend "only" was a medical certificate and have not been heard from again.
The thing would have ended there but a few days ago, during an informal meeting with several heads "thinking" of this country told aloud the case without, of course, include any information that would help decipher who was this mother. Two very prominent lawyers laughed and cried aloud for all to hear them: "Sure, it makes it good! ". To my surprise I assumed they did not understand that the mother had gone into detail and clarified that there had been the slightest abuse and had openly acknowledged that it was just a legal ploy. "No matter, he must have done something," responded the two as if it were a secret lodge.
A shiver ran down my whole body to think what I was witnessing. Almost visualized the poor fellow with the shackles of cowardice trying to defend these accusations ... as if the thing was for jokes.
Some men who witnessed the silent conversation as if they were complicit in the situation.
Hard Times. Poor child, only to danger.
