> I am all for action against this program but does anyone know what exactly will be done with this petition? For instance, will it be circulated to booksellers? Does censorship extend to actually "banning" the import/ sales of books?
Hi, I started the petition as part of a larger effort to have something done about this terrible book. I contacted DOCS, who gave me a number for another place and then they gave me the number for the Commissioner for Children and Young People. I expressed my concerns and they asked that I send it in writing. I then decided, that instead of just a letter, I would put together an information pack. When it is ready, this is the list so far, of who I'll send it to. The Commissioner, DOCS, Koorong Bookshops and all major bookstores, the Australian Censorship Board. I believe that the information in his books should be illegal. It advocates physical and emotional abuse of very young babies. I don't know if it will be banned, but hopefully at the very least, the information packs will make people sit up and take notice. Ezzo has been sued because of the results of his program. I honestly can't understand why he can still publish his books. The scariest thing is that now the books are on the shelves in most the major bookstores in Australia and people have no idea about them. I have read most of book 1, with alot of swearing falling out of my mouth after nearly each sentence, but gee he is convincing. I can only imagine the impact his bullshit books are having on new parents. Someone wrote to me concerned about freedom of speech, well lots of people have, and I'm not sure what I feel about that. I am pretty sure that child pornography is banned, so I don't see why a book advocating child abuse shouldn't be banned. For all the info you'll ever need check out www.ezzo.info be ready to cry though, it's heartbreaking. Love Abby -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
