Men Against Discrimination Reward Program
$10,000
REWARD
Earn $10,000 for information and news story resulting
in prosecution of an individual for false allegations of abuse in a West
Virginia family court.
Men Against Discrimination is so convinced that some people are guilty of using false claims of abuse, false claims of domestic violence and other outright lies in court to obtain leverage in contested cases of divorce and child custody that we feel compelled to offer a reward to help stop this drain on our court resources. The children of our state are the ones who suffer the most in these tragic situations and the damage can never be undone. It is our hope that a few highly publicized cases of criminal prosecution will end the use of this terrible tool to break up families. We know of no case where an individual making false accusations has been fully prosecuted but we are aware of many cases where an individual being falsely accused has been prosecuted even when the original accuser recanted the accusations. Help us save our families and children from distortions and lies. When children see that liars win in court, the lesson they learn is that liars win in life.
