assistant: of mastery, high levels of interpersonal trust, and an active
coping style have been observed to interact with their young
children with high levels of warmth, acceptance, and helpfulness
and a low level of disapproval (Mondell & Tyler (1981).  A secure
parent-child relationship increases the likelihood that children
will develop high self-esteem and self-efficacy.  This positive
sense of self-concept may serve as a protective factor for the
child against later risk (Rutter, 1987).
__A parent has adequate social support__.  Emotional support
involves listening and responding with empathy.  Instrumental
support is tangible help like transportation, money or temporary
child care.  Support may also be provided in the form of
companionship, nurturance, or a sense of alliance.  Informal
support comes from family, friends and perhaps neighbors.  Formal
support is provided by institutions or agencies.
Social support, through contact with others, provides information
about societal expectations about parenting (Powell, 1980) and
reduces isolation, a correlate of child abuse (Garbarino, 1977).
Parents who do not have the support available in a satisfying
marriage may find this protective factor in other social
networks.  Availability of support enhances parental
effectiveness regardless of marital status (Weinraub & Wolf,
1983) and reduces stress in families of developmentally disabled
children (Bristol, Gallagher & Shopler, 1988).
SUMMARY
In a complex society, communities and institutions share with
parents the responsibility of providing a nurturing and protected
environment for children and youth. Effective parent education
enhances the relationship between parents and children. Parent
support makes resources that promote healthy development
accessible to parents. Together, parent education and support are
an effective way to strengthen families.

assistant: In a message dated: 02 Jul 95, Don Herman stated:
neither. Echomail isn't meant to be private unless it is Sysop-only or
privately distributed. when you send Private flagged msgs into the
system, two things can happen. either the flag gets stripped off
automatically by various Echomail processing software along the line or
it gets distributed with the Private flag intact and nobody can read it
except the addressee or someone with Sysop-level read privileges not set
to honor privacy.
i was asking if it were truly private traffic or could i strip off the
Private flags so my Users can read your Echomail in this area. it's up
to you. the intermediate processors are passing your Private flagged
traffic intact so they are unreadable in this Echo on this system.
so you want to use this Echo for your private mail. okay. i can get over
that. [grin]
so why here and why hidden?
i don't understand why you are using Echomail for private conversations
since Echomail isn't designed for same. no big deal if that's what you
wish and the Moderator doesn't care. your traffic will not be readable
here by your choice.
TTFN.

user: You are replying to Don Herman about "Private Flag".

Write your reply.

assistant: Don, maybe I can clear this up.  I would say that roughly half of the systems
your private message goes to will either strip the Private Flag
automatically, thus defeating your intent entirely, else will trash the
message into the bad messages bin.
As a rule, Fidonet conferences don't allow for "private" mail, hence your
Sysop may have overlooked something by making the option of private messages
available.  I've been reading them, without noticing the tiny little "Pvt" in
the corner of my screen.  When I logged myself onto the BBS at a typical user
level, lo and behold, I was still able to read your messages, as I had
configured my software to disallow private messages.  Other packages may
handle it differently, but mine is in common usage.

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't think that anyone will argue against strong protection for those
oppressed by heinous, savage exploitation or abuse by oppressors of ANY
gender - regardless of the style of the relationship.
The problems arise when ordinary and appropriate discipline is treated
as "abusive", per se. *OR*
When "protective" agencies enagage in gestapo-esque tactics to divide
otherwise-healthy families. *OR*
When someone attempts to jump on the political bandwagon of allowing a
cheating spouse to fraudulently seek assistance from a non-abusive
relationship by concocting a wild (and completely fictitious) "plea" for
"relief" - and the motive is financial profit.
That's what we're dealing with here.
If judicial education and training will be inclusive of caveats: that
judicial officers should make certain that the system is not <itself>
being used to exploit those who are completely innocent <i.e.: that the
allegations are provable>; then the training serves to enhance justice.
If, on the other hand, the training is designed to serve
polictically-popular objectives of destroying families,
then the perversion of our supposedly objective justice
system will be amplified.

assistant: Hello again Chris,
(snip)....
Thanks! <G>.  It isn't that I *want* to do it this way, it is a matter
of temporary necessity in order to achieve certain objectives.
Fair question.  Because (1) this is the conference my interviewee monitors,
and; (2) because the interview is still in the construction stages and not
ready for release.  When it is complete I will post a copyright on it for
the protection of Roger Brown and his position.
(snip)....
Thank you very much.  I don't believe this will happen again, or maybe only
a couple times more.  I do appreciate your patience and understanding.  By
the way, my good friend Bill Swan is the conference moderator for Fido
Victims.  If you would like to take this up with him, I can assure you he
will be the first to tell me to knock it off, if he feels it is in any
way not a good practice to flag Private at all.  I do appreciate your
efforts to keep the echos running in the best possible way!  Go get 'em <G>.
Thanks again,
Don

What we REALLY need to do is to insist that the justice system operates
ethically - not politically. That's actually the whole concept of our
national justice system. We KNOW that it doesn't run according to plan.
Any reform movement should focus on making sure that those who don't
choose to function ethically do not have the privilege of being chosen
to serve - and many judicial officers are elected officials.
