Børnemishandling

ET GODT LIV - trods 1460 voldtægter som barn!I dag er Malene 34 år, har et velfungerende familieliv med mand og fire børn og er en succesfuld iværksætter inden for møbelsalg.Helt ublufærdigt fortæller Malene om sin barndom, om sit forhold til familien, om store op- og nedture og om, hvordan hun fik kræfter til at køre en retssag imod sin far. Der er tale om læsning, der ikke henvender sig til sarte sjæle, men også om en smuk historie der vender op og ned på vores forståelse af, hvad der skal til for at komme igennem en krise.Malene så ganske tidligt, at det psykiatriske system ikke kunne hjælpe hende, men kun trak hende ned. For at komme ovenpå gik hun sine egne veje. Igennem hårdt arbejde kom hun fri af familiens destruktive mønstre og formåede at få succes med karrieren samt at søge imod det glansbillede af et familieliv, der hele barndommen holdt hende i live.”En enestående bog! Selvom man efter nogle af passagerne væmmes, så kan bogen noget meget sjældent. Malene står så stærkt, at hun er i stand til at fortælle, hvordan det er sådan rigtigt at blive misbrugt. Jeg kan nærmest lugte ham faren med alkoholånden og de rådne tænder… Læs bogen – den vedkommer os alle!”Mette Møllevang Journalist og forfatter til bogen: ”Er der en mor til stede?”Malene Lauritsen: Født 1983.

Genudgivelse i pocket-format Denne nye udgave af Zornig indeholder et nyt kapitel med opdateringer. Zornig er den hudløst ærlige beretning om, hvordan et barn i det moderne velfærdsdanmark overlevede en opvækst fyldt med svigt, vold og overgreb fra de voksne omkring hende. Lisbeth Zornig Andersen skildrer med barnets øjne sin egen opvæks med hverdagens rædsler i det under-Danmark, som er skjult for de fleste. En hverdag fyldt med knytnæver, blod, misbrug, straf, sult, stank og frygt. En far, der forsvandt, en stedfar, der gjorde ondt, en mor, der svigtede. Vi følger skridt for skridt hvordan hendes brødre bliver brudt ned i et hjem, hvor man fik noget at spise, hvis man kunne samle maden op fra kogende vand, hvor et enkelt ord ved middagsbordet betød sengen, hvor en plukket blomme i haven betød røvfuld i enerum – og det, der var værre. En barndom tilbragt på værtshuse, på børnehjem og på ungdomsinstitutioner. Usentimentalt og uhyggeligt detaljeret folder Lisbeth Zornig Andersen en brutal virkelighed ud, hvor ingen voksne greb ind for hjælpe den altid tavse, snavsede, magre pige med vorter på hænderne og kronisk øjenbetændelse. Indtil hun blev gammel nok til at bruge vreden og tage livet i egne hænder. Det er også Lisbeth Zornig Andersens opråb til os andre. Hvad enten man professionelt arbejder med børn eller bare er en medborger. Hjælp disse børn!

Jægersoldater fra Underdanmark kan allerede i ung alder klare sig alene uden mad og søvn i dagevis. De har lært, at man ikke kan stole på nogen, allermindst sine forældre, og det at overleve er op til en selv. Støtte og omsorg kender de ikke til. Zornig, Lindholm og Turéll har sat sig for at finde frem til de karaktertræk, som kendetegner de stærke brændte børn, Underdanmarks jægersoldater, så vi af dem kan lære, hvordan vi bliver bedre til at hjælpe alle udsatte børn. Gennem samtaler med ti voksne supermønsterbrydere om deres barske opvækst hører vi om deres livsstrategier og overlevelsesmekanismer, og hvad der har gjort en forskel for dem og hjulpet dem til at bryde mønsteret. I bogen medvirker politiker Pia Olsen Dyhr, arkitekt Gitte Andersen, professor Jørgen Lange, bokser Dennis Ceylan, borgmester Erik Nielsen, debattør Mads Holger, journalist Claus Elgaard, forfatter Kristian Ditlev Jensen, lærer Karin Schwartz og sikkerhedssupervisor Lasse Mortensen.

I La familia grande skildrer Camille Kouchner en privilegeret barndom i et frigjort parisisk venstrefløjsmiljø i 1980’erne. Hendes berømte mor og stedfar udgør sammen med familie og venner en indflydelsesrig klan med magt, succes og gode forbindelser: la familia grande. Da Camilles tvillingbror, Victor, i teenagealderen bliver udsat for seksuelle overgreb af den højtelskede stedfar, bryder børnenes verden sammen. Camille må love sin bror at tie om overgrebet, men tavshedsløftet vikler hende ind i et spind af løgn og skyld og skam. Hun trækker sig mere og mere ind i sig selv, og et fortroligt forhold til andre mennesker bliver umuligt. Først efter sin mors død i 2017 besluttede Camille Kouchner at fortælle sin og sin brors historie. La familia grande er en bog om incest og de voldsomme følger, det har at tie om det. Udgivelsen har ført til en stor debat om seksuelle overgreb i Frankrig. "Bogen, der fik Frankrig til at tale om incest. Kraftfuld læsning." Børsen, 5 stjerner"Nådesløst portræt af den franske kulturelites svigt." Jyllands-Posten, 5 stjerner"Camille Kouchner er en fremragende forfatter. Bogen - der lader sig læse som en god, lille roman - er fuld af smukke billeder og frapperende beskrivelser." - Weekendavisen"Bogen åbner endnu en dør til urfamiliens mørkekammer."

I en lille bygd på Færøerne svirrer rygterne. Det siges, at flere mænd har begået overgreb mod børn. I en bestemt familie skal det være foregået gennem flere generationer. En af de mænd, der hviskes om, er Thormund, men kan det virkelig passe? Han er ellers sådan en pæn mand. Hans søster Pia kan i hvert fald ikke få sig selv til at tro det.Bogen fortæller Thormunds historie og viser, at hvis den slags ikke skal fortsætte, fordi ofrene selv begår overgreb som voksne, er man nødt til at tale åbent om det, så det kan blive stoppet.

The New York Times bestseller--With an Afterword and a New Epilogue by the AuthorA New York Times Notable Book--Now a Netflix Film"Meticulously reported and beautifully written . . . a haunting and powerful crime story that gives voice to those who can no longer be heard."--David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager"Rich, tragic . . . monumental . . . true-crime reporting at its best."--Washington PostOne late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert ran through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life and was never seen again. No one thought much about what had happened to the twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist escort who had been fleeing a scene--of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County police, too, seemed to have paid little attention--until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's.There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannon's disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan, all four women were petite, in their twenties, and had come from out of town to work as escorts, and they all had advertised on Craigslist and its competitor, Backpage.Lost Girls is a portrait of the victims of the Long Island Serial Killer, of the underside of the Internet, and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep them. Long considered "one of the best true-crime books of all time" (Time), this editionfeatures an afterword including the shocking fate of Mari Gilbert, Shannan's mother, for whom this case became the crusade of a lifetime, a new epilogue covering the most recent developments in the Long Island Serial Killer case, including the arrest, the missteps of the police investigation, and an updated timeline.

In America Come and Get It, his second release, Mr. Kasalobi finds himself in a big legal fight to regain back the custody of his two daughters. Loylla, the youngest, is eight months old when Sheebah, their mother, abandons them. She comes back eight years later and kidnaps both of them with the help of the Hurst Police Department. For his daughters, Kasalobi moves skies and empties seas, but because it is believed that girls are better off with their mother, lawyers refuse to take the case, while the Child Protective Services closes their eyes to the cruel mistreatments these two little girls are going through. The worst of all is the fact that it is the hands of their own mother that are administrating these violent abuses. As days go by, the fighting becomes bigger and bascules itself on one side, the mother's side. Mr. Kasalobi doesn't get desperate. He doesn't give up even when he finds himself alone doing legal battles to everyone and against every established institution possible. He only gets a break when the lawyer Violet Nwokoye enters the family court on his side. At the end of the day, did he get both children back? He is talking about this new journey in America, Come and Get It.

Beginning by declaring 'Familia delenda est!' or "the Family is (to be) destroyed" Bülent Somay argues that the nuclear family is repressive and regressive and needs to be replaced."The family has now become a hindrance against expanding our horizons, increasing our knowledge, imagining and experimenting new modes of existence, not only for women, but also for children who will become men, women, straight and gay persons, transgender and fluid-gender people, in short, all of us."Bulent Somay's previous books include Something is Missing: Things We Don't Want to Know about Love, Sex and Life, The End of Truth, The Psychopolitics of the Oriental Father and The View from the Masthead
