Boy Scarred by Family Court Enabling his Sexual Abuse
Drumming Helps Him Cope
Ken says he was scarred by Family Court not protecting him from sexual abuse by his father when he was a boy.
My experience of Family Court scarred me. It left me with deep trust issues and haunting memories from something that shouldn’t have happened.
Ken was barely a teen when he disclosed sexual abuse by his father.
As usual, Family Court ignored his brave disclosures and empowered his father to continue sexually abusing and threatening to kill him.
I was 13. I had no choice. I had no voice…My dad used to pin me down on the floor and laugh in my face saying he was going to kill me.
As usual, his mother was disempowered and silenced, hence unable to protect him.
Do not question our experiences as children and young people. We know exactly what we saw and what we directly experienced.
DRUMMING AS THERAPY
I have long term mental health difficulties I cannot face or deal with. The constant state of high alert that comes with PTSD is my everyday reality.
Ken uses drumming to help cope with symptoms of PTSD.
Drumming helps me tune out from the world around me and lets me focus solely on the therapeutic rhythms that vibrate through the floor and up to the sky. It blocks out all the negativity of the world and makes me feel on top of it.

The Women’s Coalition is documenting custody cases that involve sexual abuse to support our contention that judges are deliberately disregarding evidence. If you reported sexual abuse of your child in Family Court, please take a minute to fill out this form.
Helping moms for many years in the family court system and I have known this for 20 years. I discovered the GAL in my case sold my former spouse custody and I was pretty sure he was sexually abusing my kids. Until those kids come forward we will never know. Kids have two years from the time they are 18 to file suit for what their parents did or the courts.
Samme historie for min søn og jeg. #egedalkommune har frataget mig min søn, ved at omskrive vores livshistorie, sådan at min søns mistrivsel hos hans far, pludselig er min skyld, - og ikke den vold og mistrivsel som min søn fortæller hans far udsætter ham for....
Jeg kan kun advare mod den kommune og socialrådgiverne Pernille Riel Munthe og Ambreen Rehman, der har valgt at ignorere min søns råb om hjælp....
