Angelina Jolie pens op-ed about the increase in child abuse during coronavirus isolation

Angelina Jolie outlined how children are at risk of abuse while isolated at home during the coronavirus pandemic in an op-ed published Thursday by Time magazine.The 44-year-old actress and activist noted that children may be 'especially vulnerable' to the pandemic's 'secondary' effects, even though they're more resistant to its physical symptoms.'Isolating a victim from family and friends is a well-known tactic of control by abusers, meaning that the social distancing that is necessary to stop COVID-19 is one that will inadvertently fuel a direct rise in trauma and suffering for vulnerable children,' wrote Jolie. She explained that many children may be at a greater risk of experiencing domestic abuse amid shelter-in-place orders and economic insecurity.Jolie noted that 'lockdowns and stay at home orders have resulted in job losses and economic insecurity, increasing stress, pressure and uncertainty for many families,' and that 'stress at home increases the risk of domestic violence.'She also noted stories of increasing domestic violence throughout the world as people are forced to stay inside together. The effects of the pandemic can be particularly unfortunate for children because it comes 'at a time when children are deprived of the very support networks that help them cope: from their trusted friends and teachers to after-school sports activities and visits to a beloved relative's house that provide an escape from their abusive environment,' she added.Many lower income children depend on their schools to provide meals throughout the day, but they're also 'a lifeline of opportunity as well as a shield, offering protection ... from violence, exploitation and other difficult circumstances, including sexual exploitation, forced marriage and child labor and domestic violence.
'It's not just that children have lost support networks,' Jolie continued. 'Lockdown also means fewer adult eyes on their situation. In child abuse cases, Child Protective Services are most often called by third parties such as teachers, guidance counselors, after school program coordinators and coaches.'The humanitarian and actress gave her readers some clear-cut steps they could follow to make sure that children were safe, including to 'make a point of calling family or friends, particularly where we might have concerns that someone is vulnerable.'She also urged readers to become familiar with the signs of domestic abuse so as to spot them more easily and to support local domestic violence shelters.'It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child,' Jolie wrote. 'It will take an effort by the whole of our country to give children the protection and care they deserve.' Jolie has long used her fame for good. Last month, she donated $1 million to No Kid Hungry to distribute food to children who previously depended on meals at school. The mother of six is also working with UNESCO on efforts to make online learning more accessible for children quarantined across the globe.

More than three years after the end of their two-year marriage, they are still not officially divorced. But having resolved their protracted custody dispute, it seems Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have taken another step forward in cordially co-parenting their five school-age children. Pitt, 56, has filed papers in the Los Angeles County Court informing the judge that he and his ex-wife have now made an agreement regarding 'Education and Transitional Support.'According to The Blast, which first reported the update, the former spouses have decided upon a more 'traditional' form of schooling for their children, five of whom are still under the age of 18.While oldest son Maddox, 18, is now at college, the decision will cover his siblings Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shilo, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.During the former couple's 14 years together, the six Jolie-Pitt children were home schooled by nannies and tutors as the family frequently relocated around the world, between their multiple homes and movie sets.Addressing this in 2017, Angelina, now 44, said: 'It bothered me how little I was taught in school,'She said her children's multicultural backgrounds made them better suited to homeschooling.'I do worry about my children's education. I homeschool partially because they are from around the world and it's very...I didn't want them to have the same education I had when it came to Vietnam or Cambodia.'Brad and Angelina split in 2016, after two years of marriage. The exes have since reached a custody agreement over their children, but the two - who have been officially declared single by the court - are still finalizing the financial element of their divorce.During their long relationship they co-mingled their finances, and jointly purchased multiple properties. Brad is thought to be worth around $300million, and Angelina around $100million.

Angelina Jolie Dragging Jennifer Aniston Into Court Because Brad Pitt Introduced Her To Kids?

Is Angelina Jolie planning on dragging Jennifer Aniston into her custody battle with Brad Pitt? That’s the report coming from one tabloid this week. Gossip Cop investigated the story and determined it was false.The Globe claims Jolie plans on forcing Aniston to testify against Pitt in an upcoming custody battle. A source tells the outlet Jolie was enraged to discover Pitt had introduced the former couples’ three youngest children to Aniston.Apparently, she’d already been seething with rage over Aniston and Pitt’s friendly reunion backstage at the SAG awards earlier this year, and this alleged introduction to the kids pushed her over the edge. A dubious source for the outlet claims, “Angie’s telling people that Brad and Jen are going to pay for that.”Referring to the Maleficent star as “spiteful,” the publication quotes a supposed “insider” who says, “Angie means to drag Jen into court and have her cross-examined by her pit-bull lawyers.” The suspicious insider goes on to say that this supposed “cross-examination” would cover “everything from Brad’s interaction with his kids, things he’s said about Angie, the other women he’s been seeing and what the exact nature of her relationship with Brad is now.”Though she’s using the information to positively affect her side in the custody battle, the kids aren’t Jolie’s sole reason for dragging Aniston into this, according to the phony report. “Angie means to embarrass and humiliate Jen. She’ll be in the room too, taking pleasure in making Jen squirm,” alleges the so-called source.
The bogus article contends Pitt took things to the next level by introducing the former couple’s three youngest children to Aniston, the insider claims. Now Jolie is getting her revenge by pumping Aniston for information. “That’s why she wants her cross-examined about what Brad’s said to her about his marriage, his affairs with other women and what else he exposes the kids to.” Gossip Cop investigated this the rest of the story and found it to be completely false.The only truth in this story is that Jolie filed legal documents last month regarding the custody of her and Pitt’s shared children, as reported by The Blast. No one except those involved with the case knows what those documents contain, however, since Pitt and Jolie have the documents sealed for privacy and only appear in front of a private judge to settle their legal matters. Gossip Cop reached out to a spokesperson for Aniston who told us the rest of the story is completely fabricated. This is a tired narrative that tabloids continually push, but in reality, there is no such drama.As we’ve said many times before, Pitt and Aniston are not in a relationship. The Globe has also claimed before that Jolie was in a fury over Aniston and Pitt’s friendly greeting during the SAG awards, which Gossip Cop also busted. The Salt actress is not at all affected by Pitt’s purely cordial relationship with Aniston.
