Dear Australian Bureau of Statistics ,
Could you please provide me with percentages of children murdered by a
parent who was acting alone 2009 - 2019 ??
I have been given opposing answers by different organisations for many
years now. As an advocate against the demonisation of men and boys by the
media and other organisations in Australia and me being someone who works
towards decreasing the suicide rate of males (and females) I need to
confirm for once and for all whether the information in this following
statement is indeed fairly accurate or not ...
"Around 81% of children murdered by a parent acting alone , are murdered by
their mothers"
...So I am requesting the privilege of knowing the percentages for "Mothers
vs Fathers acting alone in murdering their children for each year from 2009
through 2019" Your help would be greatly appreciated . Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Mark George
