Children of Divorce Speak Out
Shellee Darnell
1. We love and need both of you.
2. We are not your messengers. If you have something to say to my other parent, tell them yourself.
3. We know you are hurting, scared and upset. So are we!
4. We know you are probably doing the best you can. So are we!
5. Please don't say bad things about our other parent. It makes us feel really bad.
6. Please don't ask us to choose sides. That's not fair.
7. Don't make us feel we are being disloyal because we enjoy being with our other parent.
8. This may not have been your choice, but remember, it is not our choice either.
9. Please don't tell us details about the divorce that we don't understand or need to know.
10. Please don't make us the "man" or the "lady" of the house. We are just kids. Let us be kids!!!

The motto of this Father and Family Rights Advocate
- "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again ... and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt,
Facts on Domestic Violence
Family violence in Canada: A statistical profile, 2005. An estimated 7% of women and 6% of men representing 653,000 women and 546,000 men in a current or previous spousal relationship encountered spousal violence during the five years up to and including 2004, according to a comprehensive Statistics Canada report on family violence.

Keep in mind what you see in the paper is what is reported to police. The numbers above from Stats Canada are those based on surveys which are more comprehensive.

Quotes of Note On Civil Disobediance
- When leaders act contrary to conscience, we must act contrary to leaders. ~Veterans Fast for Life
- We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr., "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Why We Can't Wait,
- We cannot, by total reliance on law, escape the duty to judge right and wrong.... There are good laws and there are occasionally bad laws, and it conforms to the highest traditions of a free society to offer resistance to bad laws, and to disobey them. ~ Alexander Bickel
- The good men may do separately is small compared with what they may do collectively - Benjamin Franklin
- Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. ~ Albert Einstein
- Laws are only words written on paper, words that change on society's whim and are interpreted differently daily by politicians, lawyers, judges, and policemen. Anyone who believes that all laws should always be obeyed would have made a fine slave catcher. Anyone who believes that all laws are applied equally, despite race, religion, or economic status, is a fool. ~ John J. Miller, And Hope to Die
- It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do. ~ Edmund Burke, Second Speech on Conciliation, 1775
- It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. ~ Voltaire

Fathers-4-Justice Sault Ste. Marie
Who we are
We are a local branch of
Fathers-4-Justice Canada
Fathers-4-Justice Canada
Members of F4J are a cross section of concerned Canadian citizens
both men and women who recognize the bias and injustice in the current family law
system where children are used as prizes.
We believe in truth, justice and equality.
We are your co-workers, neighbours, friends and family.
Our Mission
F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada) believes, and will tirelessly promote, every child's RIGHT in life and law,
to be raised by both parents on an equal basis in the event of separation and/or divorce.
We further believe that such equality in parenting has been clearly shown to be in the best interests of children.
Our Purpose
F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada ) will demand an end to the systemic removal of
either parent from children's lives by family courts;
F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada ) will demand the basic civil and human RIGHT to
enjoy a meaningful, loving relationship with one's own children;
F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada) will demand that children's rights to
an equal relationship with their parents be recognized and protected in law;
F4J Fathers-4-Justice (Canada ) will advocate for the dismantling of Canada's family law system,
to be replaced by a fair, balanced and transparent rules-based environment.
Our Campaign
F4J Fathers 4 Justice CANADA is committed to Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA) and from time to time, civil disobedience,
as part of its Twin Track strategy of publicity and political pressure.Contact in Sault Ste. Marie:

I am very pleased to see a local chapter of F4J in the Sault.
Equal parenting should be the right of every child.
Our justice system needs to understand that the value of a father is worth quite a bit more than some dollar amount on a monthly check.
I've been to court over and over again and nothing changes.
Insainity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. To some people dressing up as Batman and climbing up a tower crane might sound crazy, but to those of us who have been through the family court system, F4J membership is the only sane option left.
Keep up the good fight and God bless!

This is pretty much our first week of public existence. Gradually we will grow a membership and work on some local projects together. This web site will be our main public information forum to start..
