A brief history of Parents Helping Parents
2006 04 03
Louise Malenfant is no more
During the past weekend Louise Malenfant passed away at her home, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Louise Malenfant had devoted her life to mothers and fathers who lost their children due to injustices such as false abuse allegations. She had been influential in her native Manitoba to get the bureaucracy to accept that false abuse allegations must not be used by anyone, be they individuals or members of the bureaucracy, to gain the upper hand in removing children from parents.
A few years ago Louise Malenfant moved to Alberta, with the aim to help bring about changes in the attitude of the bureaucracy here, such as those she had helped to create in Manitoba. She has helped countless parents, mostly fathers, to regain reputations and contact with children of whom they had been robbed, and she prevented many innocent men from being punished for crimes they did not do.
Louise Malenfant will be missed by many.

Dispute erupts at fathers rights group
Donna Laframboise, National Post, March 30, 2001The board of directors of a Calgary fathers' rights group resigned en masse this week after a sister organization failed to eject from its midst a man who holds a criminal record for sexually exploiting a minor.
Scandal taints fathers' rights group,
Donna Laframboise, National Post, April 17, 2001The Equitable Child Maintenance and Access Society is Alberta's largest non-custodial parents' lobby group. But between an executive's conviction for sexual exploitation of a minor and an activist's views on childhood sex, the group is self-destructing
The debate by Canadian fathers' rights activists
What about the children who consume porn and what good is their premature sexualization? Do we need to encourage the production of more teenaged mothers and fathers for the Maury Show? Perhaps,
...Ms. Malenfant is mistaken when she says, "You cannot legitimately speak on behalf of the falsely accused while holding the belief that sex in childhood is a good thing." Actually, it is quite possible to hold the belief that sex between consenting minors is a good thing, and simultaneously to speak on behalf of those ADULTS falsely accused of sexual abuse of children. The two issues are separate, and Ferrel is careful to separate them in his book, as you note in your article.
