Protective Makua

Protective Makua is a community-based, Hawaii not-for-profit organization. Our MISSION is to reform family courts in Hawaii and protect abused makua and keiki (kids) when reporting domestic violence without fear of retaliation, discrimination, litigation abuse, or the threat of losing custody of their children. Protective Makua believes that protective parents have the constitutional right to (1) leave a marriage wherein which they suffer domestic violence; (2) obtain sole legal and physical custody over their children if the protective parent suffers from domestic violence or their child/children suffers from physical or intrafamilial sexual abuse (incest); and (3) automatically have all admissible evidence submitted to the court record, and not to third parties, in these cases. Furthermore, we believe that the use of parental alienation to discredit reports of domestic violence or child abuse is a constitutional violation of a protective parent’s right to due process. Scientific empirical studies prove that false reports of domestic violence and intrafamilial child sexual abuse are extremely rare. __________________________ “In 2004, a total of 917 intentional false allegations were designated out of approximately 3 million reports involving 5.5 million children, or 0% according to the report (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2006).” ~ Faller (2007), Coaching children about sexual abuse: A pilot study of professionals’ perceptions.
