threatened to call the police and have the children
physically removed from the car so that the father's
visitation rights could be served. They also accused
the mother of somehow brainwashing her children
to fear and distrust their father, and threatened her
with losing custody of her children if she didn’t get
them out of the car and deliver them to the DOCS
officer for the visit with their father.
This has now been termed Parental Alienation
Syndrome (PAS). It is “applied to a parent in a case
involving an allegation of child sexual abuse; it is
nearly always applied to a woman whose child is
allegedly being molested by the father.” Even
though this “syndrome” has been discredited, it is
still used in courts to argue for shared custody by
violent and paedophile parents.
In it she exposed the dark underbelly of how those
within the family court system, including judges
and lawyers, were handing children over to
violent and/or paedophile fathers, often in the face
of evidence that was either dismissed or overruled.
Cases in many family courts around the world are
handled as badly as in Australia, where children
become the unwitting pawns within an adversarial
system.
For example, consider the following incident, where
a sexually abused brother and sister were forced to
have supervised visiting time with their paedophile
father: When the children refused to get out of the
car, and physically locked themselves inside the car
after their mother had gotten out, the Department
of Child Services, which was to supervise the visit,
One of the witnesses who was willing testify at the
NCPA trial before the ITNJ was a victim of such
a family court decision, and has now come of age
and is now willing to testify against the system.
Other such victims have committed suicide, such
as Abbey, the namesake of Abbey's Project, which
has given voice to abused children by publishing
15 case studies supporting 30 recommendations for
changes to the family court system.
Sadly, there are hundreds of cases like these
happening within the family court system on a
daily basis. Many children are betrayed by what
are called specialist report writers, or family court
writers, whose often wildly-expensive reports are
generally based on only one interview in an office
lasting from 45 minutes to 2 hours and often negate
the child’s own experience.
