Fighting Dirty - Now they are sending trojans
Natural Biological Parents
A man pointed to his wife and said "it was her, all her fault'' after being arrested over the starvation death of their daughter, a jury has been told.
The seven-year-old girl was found dead in the family's Hawks Nest home, north of Newcastle, on November 3, 2007.
Her parents, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, were arrested a fortnight later on the NSW south coast after warrants were issued for their capture.
Sergeant Michael Moulds, then a senior constable, told a NSW Supreme Court jury on Wednesday he arrested the couple at Albion Park railway station on November 17.
He said he had police printouts of the couple relating to their outstanding warrants and also recognised them from media coverage of the girl's death.
They were taken to Port Kembla police station, where Constable Paul Hewitson said the father blamed his wife for their predicament.
Crown prosecutor Peter Barnett SC asked him what was said.
'''It was her, all her fault'. And he pointed back to the dock area where the female accused was,'' Const Hewitson told the court.
He said a search of two bags found with the parents found items including three mobile phones, four Centrelink health cards, four Centrelink pensioner concession cards, 14 prescriptions in the names of the parents, a large quantity of prescription and non-prescription drugs, new clothes, toiletries and the couple's framed wedding certificate.
Earlier on Wednesday, a paediatrician who had treated the girl told the jury the state of the child's body after her death was so extreme she could not describe it.
Dr Dimitri Tzioumi treated the girl at Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick in 2002 and said the girl had periods of significant growth during her early years, coinciding with visits to paediatricians.
If the girl had continued growing in line with the growth percentile scale she would have weighed 26 kilograms in November 2007, she said.
The court has previously heard the girl weighed only nine kilograms when she died.
Dr Tzioumi said she had seen a video of the girl taken at the morgue in Newcastle after her death.
"She was severely wasted, or emaciated,'' she said.
''(There was) no likeness of the child I knew.
"This was extreme, so extreme I can't describe it.''
The trial before Justice Robert Allan Hulme, sitting in East Maitland, continues.

I'd suggest you pinpoint the biggest advertisers in The Australian and get
your concerns to them. It works for me many years ago when The Advertiser in
South Australia went in a similar direction, to a point where I was
threatened with legal action by one of the sub-editors. Just be careful how
it's worded, always putting lots of "In my/our opinion.... " into your
arguements. Especially go for those companies that more likely get sales
from men than women. The newspapers are fully aware though of what gender
has the most control of the purse-strings and it's why they will be so
biased in their articles, but I think they also need to remember that men
have sisters, mothers, new partners, etc that all see how bad the situation
is for any father and the kids these days when the parents split.

Subject: [fathers4equality] Disturbing letter from Australian Press Council
Folks,
I have received a disturbing letter from the Australian Press Council.
They have 'complained' to F4E that they have received over 60 submissions
about Caroline Overington's recent anti-shared care
articles.
It seems from the sub-text that the APC is not interested in reviewing these
complaints, as they are asking that I instead write to the Editor of the
Australian myself, and they are asking this in a less than respectful tone.
Given that they know that I had already written to the editor but received
no response, I am somewhat bemused by this request.
I can understand their desire to treat all the complaints about Overington
as one submission, but they seem not to be interested in the issue itself,
and are trying to wash their hands of it.
Well, I don't think this is good enough.
Before I complain to them however I want some private correspondence from
you all on the following matter.
I will indeed write to the editor one more time, with a list of DEMANDS from
us. Given the damage done by Overington, we need to come up with a list of
demands of equal weighting. Lets be creative here. Just email me at this email address with your ideas.
