Greetings My Dear Readers,

I come to once again from a mild weathered world of insanity in the Land of Not.

It hasn’t been a bad week since my last post.  Things are starting to settle down here in my land of madness, and settling into a sick routine.  How long will your Cold Hearted Bastard last in this land of so little?  Time shall tell.

Father/Daughter Loss

In the last week the bodies of a Quebec father and his six year old daughter were discovered in a hotel room just outside of Montreal, although officials are being tight lipped, gut instinct tells me this is a case of Custody driven Murder/Suicide.  The father and his daughter live in different cities and rumour is, he was forbidden to have contact with his daughter.  Considering the case, I see this as just vicious rumour driven by the media to continue the vilification of men in our society.  As no reports of this child’s abduction have surfaced clearly he had full visitation rights and access to his daughter.

I see this as another case where the courts have actively worked to over empower women in custody cases and clearly denying men who genuinely love and care for their children, the opportunity at custody and/or full access to their children often based on little more then the couples anger with each other and pain over whatever events that caused the marriage/relationship to break down.

I see this as a case of a man who loved his daughter so much that he could not bare the idea of living without her and misguidedly believed that if they couldn’t be together in life then in death they could be together forever.

Do I agree with what this man did?  Definitely not.  But I certainly understand the factors and emotions that could drive a man to this line of thinking and action.

Without knowing any of the sordid details of this case I can say with absolute certainty that this man and his daughter did not have to die.  If the courts were a little more open minded and treated men and women equally without favourism to any particular gender, always making sure that the health and welfare of the children came first then sad cases like this would not likely occur.

Polish Progress

This week a lower level of the Polish Government pass a bill that would require anyone convicted of sexual relations with children under the age of 15, and anyone convicted of having sexual relations with a close family member to be chemically castrated.

This bill still needs to be approved and passed into Law by the Polish Leader, but he is expected to approve the bill later this week.

This new law comes on the heels of a string on cases of Polish fathers being convicted of sexually abusing their young daughters.

Although I applaud Poland for this big step forward in protecting its Nations children, my only concern here is that Chemical castration as outlined in this law, requires the “convicted” to take medications to ensure the castration.  So it maybe hard to enforce, and if the Castration is medication based, does this mean that once the pervert has served his sentence that he can stop taking the medication and is suddenly ready to re-offend?

I think Poland could give this law some serious teeth and send a clear message to the world that children’s safety comes first in Poland if they changed the law to ensure that Physical Castration by Medical Professionals occurred as soon as anyone was convicted of sexual relations with anyone under the age of consent.

I applaud Poland, although there is room for improvement, this law is a big step forward and hopefully will set the example that other nations will follow.

Until next time,

Your Cold Hearted Bastard,

D.
