Parent's Worst Nightmare

The point of this page is to combat the false notion that fathers abuse children more than mothers, not to suggest that mothers should not have equal parental rights after a divorce.

Contrary to public perception, "the most likely physical abuser of a young child will be that child's mother, not a male in the household" ⁴

Mothers abuse children twice as often as fathers: 40% of child victims were maltreated by their mother acting alone, vs 19% percent by their father acting alone.⁵

Mothers accounted for 55% of child murders, whereas fathers were responsible for only a relatively tiny percentage.³

Women ages twenty to forty-nine are almost twice as likely as men to be perpetrators of child maltreatment: ". . . almost twothirds [of child abusers] were females". Given that male perpetrators are not necessarily fathers but more likely to be boyfriends and stepfathers, fathers emerge as the least likely child abusers.¹

Research found that children are as much as thirty-three times more likely to be abused when a live-in boyfriend or stepfather is present.²

Judges error on the dangerous side by giving children to mothers and not fathers.

From the father's perspective, it appears that the real abusers have removed him from the family so they can abuse his children with impunity.

Who are the Perpatrators of Child Abuse? Stats from the U.S Dept of Health & Human Service

Most States define perpetrators of child abuse and neglect as parents and “other caretakers” (such as relatives, babysitters, and foster parents) who have harmed a child in their care. It is important to note that States define the term “caretaker” differently. Harm caused to a child by others (such as acquaintances or strangers) may not be considered “child abuse” but rather may be considered a criminal matter. According to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System’s most current report, Child Maltreatment 2005, of the approximately 899,000 child abuse and neglect victims in 2005, the largest percentage of perpetrators (79.4 percent) were parents, including birth parents, adoptive parents, and stepparents. Other relatives accounted for an additional 6.8 percent, residential staff for 0 .2 percent, and daycare providers for 0.6 percent. Unmarried partners of parents accounted for 3.8 percent of perpetrators while foster parent accounted for 0.5 percent of perpetrators. In 2005, 57.8 percent of child abuse and neglect perpetrators were females and 42.2 percent were males. For the most part, female perpetrators were younger than male perpetrators; of the women who were perpetrators, 45.3 percent of females were younger than 30 years of age as compared to 34.7 percent of males.

Meet Mr.Ricardo Villalobos: http://www.ricardovillalobos.info/

+Several people have questioned Mr. Ricardo Villalobos and his credibility as to his intentions as a therapist.

+In 2008, Judge Charles Maxfield of the Fairfax Circuit Court issued an court order preventing Ricardo Villalobos from having any further contact with two young children he was providing therapy on a bi-weekly basis for over a year while claiming that the children were depressed and confused due to sexual and physical abuse by their father that he had diagnosed.

+In 2007 Judge Leslie Alden of Fairfax Circuit found Ricardo Villalobos's expert testimony lacking any credibility.

+Mr. Villalobos came to court to testify as a expert witness on child abuse - when asked if he had brought his credentials/resume/curricum vita with him. His answer was No, I did not think it was needed in court. (During his testimony, it was learned that, he had never testified as a expert witness before and hence did not know he should have brought his resume with him to court.

+Ricardo Villalobos was conspiring with a convicted felon Lawyer Robert Machen ( Who spent a year in a federal prison) and CPS worker Shannon Traore aka Shannon Tyler...( who was later fired from Fairfax County Child Protective Services).
