This was a very interesting episode that brings experience and foresight to the hiring process. Listen and share with others this episode of Get Your Justice Live. This is as much a legal question as it is a mental health question because decisions are often required to be made under high stress and in short times.

Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, representing  the National Partnership for Community Leadership, joined us live on Get Your Justice Live to discuss the 100th Anniversary Year of Father’s Day, the National Fatherhood Conference for Responsible Fathers, and the National Fathers Day Rally on the Lincoln Memorial. Take a listen at the shortened 31 minute version so that you can get all the information about Dr. Jeffrey Johnson’s perspective on fatherhood, absenteeism, the events, and government policy affecting our families and children.

“The National Fatherhood Conference is occurring June 16th through June 19th, 2009. The National Fathers Day Rally is occurring on June 20th, 2009 at the Lincoln Memorial.”

I asked Dr. Jeffrey Johnson “what is the best form of child support that a father can offer their child?” and he replied pretty clearly that being a father is more than being a paycheck and that the “best support that a father can provide to their child is to be “present.”

Over 2 million children in the United States live in Fatherless homes. As a result, child/teen statistics related to violence, failure in academics, broken relationships and more, have grown to an alarming rate. Active involvement of both parents has proven to be direct link to child success in personal life decisions, academics, and beyond.

Dr. Jeffrey Johnson agrees that current policies that affect the family promote negative results of fatherlessness rather than positive results of having fathers “be present.” In fact, responsible fathers are going to be praised at the National Fathers Day Rally in Washington DC this June 20, 2009.

Changes are going to occur by coming together and setting differences aside. As I have been pushing forward, children need both parents and the parent-child relationship should be the positive result in legislation. “Parental Rights should be respected and protected by all,” and we need to focus less on conflict and more on conflict resolution in todays legislation.

Now we still have time to time to get the interesting fact out that this year is the 100th Anniversary Day for Fathers Day out to members of the press, marketing coordinators for stores, and more so that it is reflected in advertising, media releases, and the general public.

Don’t forget that next month is National Child-Centered Divorce Month and July 26, 2009 is the National Parents Day. We will have more information on how you can help raise awareness in the coming week.

Certainly having a unique outlook on the rights and responsibilities of both parents and children, he stated that attorneys that are just fighting for their client’s rights and not the children’s rights “makes his job easier.”

Me personally, I believe that our children derive all of their rights through their parents, but Dean Schreyer and I are closer on our perspectives than it appears. Harry Crouch, President of the National Coalition for Men, also stated to me that “Dean is one of the good guys.” I have to say that I agree and Attorney Dean is welcome back to the show anytime, in fact you can bet on it. Why? Because we have a theory that we are going to work out on the true nature of a contractual relationship between consenting adults that arises from the creation of our children! You definitely won’t want to miss that one!

If you haven’t checked out the site on Parental Rights by Attorney Dean Schreyer, you will want to as the concept and tips are pretty sound. He told me, it isn’t about the design, it’s about the content, and I agree. Here is his site: http://www.parentalrightsinfo.com/, and I have only touched on the tip of the iceberg, so be sure to listen to the episode and voice your comments.

One thing you will notice with Attorney Schreyer’s demeanor is that he isn’t afraid to differentiate between the crazy clients and the sane ones and how they interact with the system.

For the 2nd Segment, Chrissy of Parental Alienation Hurts discusses Parental Alienation the community, with guests from the National Association of Non Custodial Mothers, The Joshua Rose Foundation, and Guardians of the Future.

The Equal Justice Foundation believes:

• Citizens should not be torn from their homes and children in the middle of the night based on nothing more than hearsay.

• Men and women should not be presumed guilty until they can prove their innocence.

• A secret tribunal should not have the power to force a man from his home without notice or hearing.

• Police should not have the right to enter and search a citizen’s home without a warrant.

• Citizens should not be imprisoned based only on hearsay.

• Citizens should not be more afraid of the police than they are of criminals.

• A legal system that tolerates perjury and the subornation of perjury can not produce justice.

• Men should not be censured by public officials for crimes they have not committed.

• Men and women should not be made to work as indentured servants or held in thrall to others for acts they have not committed.
