Israel Human Rights Group To Sue Mother, Ra'anana Child Welfare For 10 Million

Ra'anana, Israel ---- August 12, 2010 …. Fathers 4 Justice Israel, which advocates equal access for the children of divorced parents, has announced that it will file gender bias discrimination and abuse charges against the city of Ra'anana, Israel and a divorced mother who has been accused of child abuse.

"Israel is one of most advanced democracies in the world, but when it comes to children's rights, father's rights it is a third world country," said Director of Fathers 4 Justice Israel Joel Leyden.

"Gender bias discrimination has been practiced in Israel since the modern state was born in 1948. By law children go to the mother up to the age of 6 and then this discrimination practice culturally remains in effect until the child reaches the age of 18. Fathers are allowed to carry M-16's but not allowed to carry their own children."

Leyden states that a case of physical and emotional child abuse in Ra'anana, Israel illustrates this fact.

A hard working, responsible divorced father has been the victim of criminal harassment by private detectives ever since he requested the Israel police to investigate complaints by his child of physical and emotional abuse by her mother. 

The woman, who is originally from the UK, earns over 2.5 million US dollars a year and takes holidays in Europe, has used a small, outstanding amount of child support as an excuse to criminally harass her ex. She states that she has every legal right to go after past child support money using the free services of her family's law office in Netanya, Israel and private investigators, who use tax paid courts and police.

Fathers 4 Justice Israel states that she does not have the right to traumatize her 9-year-old child nor criminally assault and harass a man to death who has just completed heart surgery.

"This divorced mother could have settled each and every issue over a cup of coffee but chose to increase tension and conflict by using the free legal services of her family owned law firm, Feder Law in Netanya," said Leyden. "Feder Law then retained private detectives, thugs who threatened the father and physically assaulted him in front of his daughter. As his daughter was screaming: "stop, you're killing my daddy" neighbors came out and photographed the assault."

 Harel Feder (above) and his brother Ofir Feder
have been reported to the Israel Bar Association.

Police are expected to send the criminal case against the private detectives, the Harel Feder Law firm which engaged them and the Ra'anana mother who allegedly orchestrated the assault to the Attorney General's Office in Israel.

"Going beyond any level of normalcy, Feder Law, after the assault which placed both father and child in the hospital with blood stained clothes, is requesting that the private detectives who assaulted the father be paid for by the innocent father."
Fathers 4 Justice has also stated that they will file a complaint with the Israel Bar Association against Harel Feder Law.

"We believe that the mother is narcissistic, emotionally unstable and unable to care for the best interests of the child," said Leyden. "What mother sends men to beat up the father of her child?"

Leyden states that the City of Ra'anana, Israel child welfare department and Ra'anana Mayor Nachum Hofree have refused to take any action to protect the child from the mother.

"We believe that the mother is narcissistic, emotionally unstable and unable to care for the best interests of the child," said Leyden. "What mother sends men to beat up the father of her child?"

To make matters even worse, the father of the child has been harassed to the point where the stress has taken a serious toll on his heart. During the period of harassment, 3 months, the father developed diabetes, high cholesterol and has just completed heart surgery this week. According to Leyden, this mother does not want money, as she earns over 2 million USD per year, but wants the father to leaveIsrael or die.

A witness told Fathers 4 Justice Israel that the mother had told her that she wishes the father would leave Israel, and if that were not to happen, wishes that he would choke on something.
"This father was extremely frail, just released from hospital when his ex-wife began to harass him again stating that she wanted to document his lifestyle. She wants to throw as much stress at this good dad to actually create a heart attack. 

This transcends malice and constitutes attempted man slaughter, a death threat and Ra'anana Child Welfare has not responded. The only responsible parties have been the police, who have been dealing with this case with complete and total understanding. They don't behave like callous robots as the city paid social workers in Ra'anana but they again are at the mercy of the Israel justice system."

Ra'anana Child Welfare (Revacha) told Fathers 4 Justice Israel that they cannot do anything. That only the family court in Israel has the power. Meanwhile the family court system in Israel relies totally on the advice and judgments of Child Welfare.

"The fathers suffer. But much worse the children suffer both short term and long term from trauma and PAS (Parental Alienation Syndrome) while these cases are ignored and treated like ping pong balls. Sending the child to see a psychologist once a week is no substitute for healthy communication between the parents. The mother has repeatedly refused to go for psychological therapy and parental counseling with the father," says Leyden.

"This is not about money. The mother earns over 2.5 million dollars a year. This is about pure malice which is tearing a young child apart."

Fathers 4 Justice Israel expects the case to be heard by the Kfar Sava Family Court  once the father recovers from heart surgery.

"The bottom line should ultimately land on the desk of the Mayor who is responsible for the Department of Child Welfare. Ra'anana Mayor Nachum Hofree only response to these cases was to investigate and that was over two years ago.
