The Center for Judicial Excellence (CJE) is a California-based nonprofit organization known for its advocacy work. They protect child abuse and domestic violence survivors. CJE briefs Congress on its contentious “Child Safety First” report this week. However, the report has been under scrutiny by two groups advocating for shared parenting in custody disputes. They say the CJE does not present accurate findings of Parental Alienation (PA).
Parental alienation is a term used in child custody disputes. It is a recognized mental condition that affects families amidst contentious divorces. Parental Alienation refers to the act of one parent manipulating a child to reject the other parent without legitimate justification. Unfortunately, this term and the concept it represents are often misused, particularly in family court settings.
The Parental Alienation Study Group (PASG) and the Global Action for Research Integrity in Parental Alienation (GARI-PA) have criticized CJE. The groups claim CJE allegedly overlooked significant research on Parental Alienation.
Dueling Reports
The groups have issued an 80-page report titled “Exposing Misinformation and Public Policy Deception Contained in Child Safety First,” challenging CJE’s methodologies and assertions. They argue that CJE’s report contains over 50 questionable references. The groups say CJE improperly suggests children are at risk due to court decisions favoring shared parenting,
Financial implications have further fueled the controversy. The federal government incentivizes states to incorporate “Kayden’s Law” from the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA). Critics argue this could lead courts to falsely make findings of “coercive control,” potentially influencing the outcomes of custody disputes.
As CJE prepares for its Congressional briefing, PASG and GARI-PA are urging policymakers, media, and the public to scrutinize the “Child Safety First” report.
Worldwide, family courts face accusations of misusing Parental Alienation, especially in high-stakes cases involving affluent litigants.
Parental Alienation is a Money Maker
Constitutional and Civil Rights activist Peter Szymonik argues that the current system benefits attorneys and the state’s treasury at the expense of families.
“The system’s current functioning aligns with its design – benefiting attorneys and the state’s treasury. The skyrocketing growth of the Divorce Industry, from $20 billion to $60 billion annually, despite decreasing divorce rates, is telling. Moreover, the federal Title IV-D funding to states keeps climbing each year,” Szymonik says.
Szymonik says addressing the “crisis” requires reevaluating our legal approach.
The Divorce Industry benefits at the expense of families, says Constitutional and Civil Rights Activist Peter Szymonik. “Make shared and equal parenting the law, absent a finding of abuse or neglect in a court of evidence and law, which ‘family’ courts are not. Remove the reason for the conflict and state-sponsored destruction of children and their parents and families,” he says.
Meanwhile, experts raise concerns about the potential misuse of “coercive control” in custody battles.
Retired attorney Maureen Martowska, a member of the Connecticut Shared Parenting Council and the Connecticut chapter of the National Parents Organization, points to the incentivized funding for states that incorporate “Kayden’s Law” from the VAWA as a potential issue.
“Right now, there is a nationwide push by Attorney Danielle Pollack and Dr. Joan Meier of the National Family Violence Law Center at George Washington University,” says Martowska. Their objective is to channel federal funds to educate judiciary members, court staff, and court vendors about domestic violence with a “gender-bent” toward women, and refuting Parental Alienation as ‘junk science,’” she says.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
So if I’m a judge and I deny that there is domestic violence happening to a mother while in court I say I don’t believe the evidence and I say there is no domestic abuse because remember it’s about linguistics we’re talking about law and laws about language.
Then I say but I believe the mother is committing parental alienation not even a real diagnostic. In fact the true diagnosis recognized in fact when you look it up it’s under recognized as “child parental alienation MAY BE DIAGNOSED as Child Psychological Abuse (V995. 51)”.
However if I state that it is child psychological abuse I am then admitting that abuse is happening in this family and a parent will go to jail because that is a crime it is not a civil code it is a criminal code…. Now imagine what would happen to me as a Judge if I stated that I did not believe domestic abuse was happening towards the mother but that she was committing psychological abuse towards the child then that mother would go to jail as a domestic violence victim and the judges know so they can’t do that they can’t state a crime so they use linguistics and they change the language to parental alienation hence why I try to explain to Mother’s who are being alienated which is actually domestic violence it is not printal alienation just by using that language you are supporting abusive fathers mom’s must understand this to really make changes
No matter what they are not going to go against parental alienation because if they do then they’re saying a parent is committing a crime when they are not and they could be held liable for that and not have judicial immunity Is hence the use of parental alienation
Imagine if I’m that judge and I Have given custody to the father stating the reason because he has been withheld from seeing the child for quite some time and it would be in the child’s best interest to encourage their relationship therefore I switch custody from mother who is the domestic violence victim to the father.
Is anyone seeing how this negatively affects domestic violence victims yet?
Now I have removed the child from the mom and have given custody to the abusive father imagine if I then agree with the mother who states that she is now being alienated from that child?
Well now I would have to say that the father is committing child psychological abuse and that would not do well for the funding from my state. Also once again I can’t commit someone of a crime because it’s a criminal code to abuse a child so I can’t send an innocent person to jail because I’ll lose my immunity.
Therefore I have to say that she is not being alienated.
Who gets the most funding domestic violence victims or father’s?
If everyone just started concentrating on the funding and the people actually supporting the funding that they vote in then they would probably get a very clear picture of the ongoing and the rhetoric the confusion the trance that TV victims are in while they’re in Is family court only focusing on the outcome forgetting to actually mention instances of specific abuse because they’re under so much stress and fear…
Is anyone seeing how claiming parental alienation if you’re a domestic violence victim doesn’t work?
Now let’s discuss the linguistics coercive control now what is coercive control coercive control is actually psychological abuse, It is forcing someone to do something against their will but it’s not a crime yet. Again if the courts used the actual term which would be a psychological abuse they would be saying that a crime is being committed against somebody so they dress it up with really nice linguistics like coercive control.
Again exactly why tell Mother’s who are victims of domestic violence to be very careful about the organizations they join and the organizations they rely on that actually aren’t really individually helping everybody but using their stories to pass laws on coercive control because that’s a very soft language to use for what it really means psychological abuse which is a crime it’s a criminal code so is anybody seeing how cohersive control doesn’t really help victims of domestic violence either but actually helps more on the parental alienation language Because you gotta go hurt your child to not see the abusive father as far as the judges are concerned and coercive control is already in our statutes actually control is not in our statutes but Cohersion the word Coerce is.
And you see how that helps with the language for parental alienation to help fathers because the funding goes towards parental alienation for fathers not mothers mothers isn’t in the language.
And don’t forget that these coercive control experts or they claim to be experts I don’t know how you could be an expert of coercive of control, Are utilizing soft language instead of actually calling it child psychological abuse why would they not call it what it is?
Maybe because they won’t get funding unless it says coercive control?
Because cohersive control supports parental alienation language.
Anyone seeing the pattern yet?
And as anybody seeing why it works for fathers because there is funding behind parental alienation for fathers it’s in the access and visitation grant run through your state child support enforcement.
Please 🙏 focus on the facts to save our children from this corrupt child trafficking system filled with pedophiles, abusers and money to support it all.
Peter,
Men talk more than 75% of women. In America we have a problem, its called “listener bias”. And I am directing this towards you because I was told this is your “write up” through lutherman.
As you have stated in previous conversations over the last 2 years that Jennifer Dulos would still be alive if she just parted with her money and ownings in her divorce, Of course using language blaming her own murder Upon herself.
By stating that if she just parted and gave her husband what he wanted she would still be alive and that is extremely insulting to all victims of domestic violence and attempted murder by their child’s father/husband.
This listener bias is that when women speak AS LITTLE AS 30%, MEN AND WOMEN BOTH THINK WE ARE DOMINATING.
What this says is despite the stereotype that women talk more, what rhe cultural expectation is that in context, women should speak less. You know like you think Jennifer should not have fought for the safety of herself and her children she should have spoken less and given more and then she would be alive right, Peter?
Are we supposed to be quiet? All this is tied to is “whether women can be knower’s”.
All of this says is “are women HUMAN” Is JENNIFER DULOS HUMAN?
Women are objectified, women are silenced.
The most important stories of our lives that we have are not out in the world profusely as they NEED TO BE.
So when there are room full of men or even just men like yourself that literally act like a room full of men, even if you truly believe you are a wonderful person and that you are making ethical decisions, there is an undoubted epistemological flaw in the culture you and most men similar to you, believe and serve.
This means you are simply not diverse enough to capture what we need to capture for the world to be a MORE JUST place.
EVERYTHING HAS GOT TO CHANGE!
Small changes in initial condition can yield exponential difference.
Mother’s and young girls being knowers, not pleasers.
We are still all of us collectively creating an environment for children In the world and at home, where these young girls are learning that girls are pleasers, girls should be more quiet, rhat girl’s should be more helpful, and giving.
IMPLICIT BIAS.
TRY SOME INNER PERSPECTIVE, WALK A LABYRINTH AND FOCUS ON YOUR IMPLICIT BIAS.
You might just actually reconnect with your children if you do so.
Just remember that you are not the voice of all voices you are one single voice with 1 single bias perspective.
If you’re not doing shared parenting, you’re a money grubbing asshole
Why is it that women think that it’s a loss if they get 50-50 custody with their ex? The father of their children.
If you are taking your children and having someone else “babysit”. You are an asshole. If you are using your children to continue to abuse your x your an asshole. If the Mom was the caregiver and you are saying she is crazy to get out of child support you are an asshole. Nobody said 50)50 was not appropriate in some situations.
Parental alienation is not a recognized psychological condition. There is no expert in the field because it’s not recognized. Move to the education of the psychologist in your case. It’s likely they have no education on the so called ” condition” they are testify to in family court.
Connecticut Public Television, Catherine Tatge and Dominique Lasseur faced criticism, too. After they co-produced the documentary, “Breaking the Silence: Children’s Stories”. Some big shots somewhere with political connections pulled The late Michael Getler out of the woodwork to crush family court investigations and reform.
Wikipedia says Getler “was the first holder of this post, and the first ombudsman to be appointed at any of the major American television networks.”
Interesting, right?
The Center for Judicial Excellence (CJE) does great work. They’ve probably done more than any organization to investigate and reform America’s broken for-profit “family court” system.
“Thankful to FR and the many victims who came forward to tell their stories. At least two clear victims emerged that met the criteria needed for a federal lawsuit.
The inner circle are sadistic abusers who exploit those most vulnerable.
Follow the money.
They’re responsible for murder and that’s only the beginning. Sexual deviants.“

Syzmonick v syzmonick. 2008 . The long drawn out delayed divorce with relentlessly fighting over child support issues. Peter canceling several hearings and uncooperative with the scheduling of court dates. Filibustering in court processing. Peter has been a long time pusher of parental alienation. Has been pushing for attorneys to be made out to be responsible for women attempting to have their voices heard. Pushing punishment for reporting and not agreeing to 50/50. Peter has been in the ear of the political leaders and agencies around funding. Women have reported the conversation of fatherhood funding often provoking anger. Conversation are terminated when the fatherhood funding is discussed. Syzmonick used mediation in his second divorce proceeding. Which can be paid for with access and visitation grant. It’s unclear if he received the grant. Peter is well aware that legislation in Connecticut is always made around funding. Parental alienation industry is running the courts for great profit. Any opportunity for a domestic violence victim to receive help with divorce or custody appears to be a direct threat. Currently the entire state is partnered with the fatherhood initiative. Women in Connecticut are being treated poorly and having their rights taken away. We have the right to complain about it. Not be cut off or forced to settle in family court system based on fear intimidation and delaying court processes as a means to control the situation. The use of parental alienation is being used to dominate the courts and distract from the legal issues. Women have the right to be heard in family court

There is no evidence required in family law. It shouldn’t be considered a court. Court of equity is bullshit. And a judges discretion can determine a mother gets nothing which is what Adelman is famous for. Because him and his cronies take every penny of what would have gone to the mother.
Should Connecticut be nicknamed “The Constitution State”?
I think the “The Pedophilia State” may be more fitting?
How about the “The Child Sex-Trafficking State”?
I mean, the State is governed by Pedophiles. So, seems to fit.
The Pedo Protector State
I think they’re the Nutmeg state. Apt, because plenty of these judges are NUTS.
The New counsel New counsel for domestic violence hopes to close the gaps in domestic violence laws. Julie Monougue was murdered in all likelihood because the state labels women liars gatekeepers and doesn’t take it seriously. The woman was axed Infront of her 3 year old. “Closing the gaps has been an excuse for years” The Ccadv and other organizations are well aware of the problem. Women labeled hysterical when their are custody matters involved. 220 texted message. How many women in the state have received a abusive messages for the fathers of their children? Hundreds and the courts don’t care. The police department was scape goated and the prosecutor office didn’t hand down a warrant. Because the state frawns on it. These are old problems with several of the same people looking at it. No mention other than 2 people. Who is on the committee? How about not labeling women in your state for starters.
Who is/what is the “New counsel for domestic violence”?
4 days ago news 12 CT. It’s an attempt to look at people falling through the cracks ( murder victims) because of the epic failure in the Julie Monougue case. Republic senator Kissel and Megan Scanlon only one mentioned in the article.
PARENTAL ALIENATION RESEARCH AND RESOURCES
FOR LEGAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PRACTITIONERS
“Let’s hope this is the beginning of it… this is the beginning of us,
as a society starting to realise… that no matter what happens between parents,
that children are not weapons that can be used against the other.”
(Quote from an adult alienated child in Verhaar et al., 2022).
Nearly 40% of the Parental Alienation literature has been published since 2016.
Parental Alienation research has moved beyond an early stage of scientific
development and has produced a scientifically trustworthy knowledge base. The
current state of Parental Alienation scholarship meets three criteria of a maturing field of
scientific inquiry: an expanding literature, a shift toward quantitative studies, and a growing
body of research that tests theory-generated hypotheses (Harman et al. 2022).

In Understanding and Managing Parental Alienation: A Guide to Assessment and Intervention, Janet
Haines, Mandy Matthewson and Marcus Turnbull offer a comprehensive analysis of contemporary
understanding of parental alienation. Grounded in recent scientific advances, this is the first book of
its kind providing resources on how to identify parental alienation and a guide to evidence-based
intervention.
Parental alienation is a process in which one parent manipulates their child to negatively perceive and
reject the other parent. Recognising this phenomenon and knowing when to intervene is often the
biggest challenge faced by practitioners and this book provides a guide to this process. Divided into
six parts, it examines what parental alienation is and how it is caused, how it affects each family
member as a mental health concern and form of violence, and how to assess, identify and intervene
successfully from a legal and therapy standpoint. Taking on a gender-neutral approach, the book is
filled with contemporary case examples from male and female perspectives, cutting-edge research,
practitioner-client dialogues, and practitioners’ reflections to show the difficult realities of parental
alienation.
Practical and accessible, this is an essential resource for mental health professionals working with
families experiencing parental alienation, as well as postgraduate students of clinical psychology,
counselling, family therapy, social work, and child and family psychology. This book will also be of
immense interest to family lawyers and mediators due to its multidisciplinary approach.

Parental Alienation – Science and Law explains the research that creates the foundation for the
assessment, identification, and intervention in cases of parental alienation (PA). For attorneys,
judges, and family law professionals, this book explains in detail the scientific basis for testimony and
legal decisions that relate to PA. There are two complementary features for most of the
chapters. First, the chapter authors address how evidence regarding PA meets the criteria of the
Frye, Daubert, and Mohan cases as well as the Federal Rules of Evidence for testimony by experts.
The second feature is to refute common misinformation. There is debate and disagreement about
some aspects of PA theory. The editors of this book are concerned that some of the discourse
regarding PA has spun out of control, into pervasive misinformation. This book provides plenty of
evidence for overcoming that hurdle. The editors of this book and the chapter authors have extensive
experience with both clinical and legal aspects of divorce, child custody, parenting time evaluations,
PA, and related topics. The editors and chapter authors include six psychologists, three physicians,
two social workers, four attorneys, and one judge. Collectively, these mental health professionals
have testified as expert witnesses hundreds of times regarding family law topics. As an additional
Version 1.1 Updated 03-Aug-2023
feature, the book contains four appendices and three indexes. Appendix A defines the concepts used
in this book, so that the chapter authors and readers will use terminology in a consistent manner.
Appendix B lists more than one thousand trial and appellate cases in the U.S. involving PA, organized
by state. Appendix C presents twenty rather dramatic vignettes involving PA. Finally, Appendix D,
“Sample Motion and Brief for Extended Voir Dire,” provides a motion and supporting brief asking the
court to allow extended time to examine the competency of a proposed expert.

There is no doubt that parental alienation exists and that U.S. courts have acknowledged the concept,
although the theory can sometimes be misused. This practitioner’s manual provides an overview of
the concept of parental alienation and explains how to correctly handle it in court. “Hands-on” practice
pointers and sample materials on litigating parental alienation make this an essential resource for the
family lawyer.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of established evidence-based interventions for the
problems inherent in parental alienation. The book focuses on helping families and ensuring the
needs of the child are met. Increasing attention has been given to the subject of parental alienation in
recent years, as divorce rates have increased and more children are being brought up in the context
of ongoing parental conflict, risking significant emotional harm. Chapters point to the application of
numerous evidence-based interventions that are already available and detail how to identify, assess
and intervene effectively with families where parental alienation has been identified. This text will be
of interest to those working in the family courts, particularly expert witnesses, clinical psychologists,
therapists, social workers, guardians and other legal professionals, in addition to researchers with an
interest in parental alienation.

Two important articles by Dr Mandy Matthewson and Amanda Sillars:
1. Exposing Woozles: the Detractors & Deniers of Parental Alienation. Do Not Fall for The
Straw Man Fallacy https://emmm.org.au/emmm-newsletter/f/exposing-woozles-thedetractors-
deniers-of-parental-alienation
2. Through the eyes of Alienated Children https://emmm.org.au/emmm-newsletter/f/throughthe-
eyes-of-alienated-children
How common are FALSE ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE in custody disputes?
How many parents are delayed/heldback seeing their children due to these false allegations?
How many are held ACCOUNTABLE after the allegations are found to be false and/or fabricated especially in DV false claims made by woman??
Does the parent who was falsely claimed EVER get the time back that was lost with the child? Is the child ever truly comforted that the “bad” parent was falsely charged ( the trauma/doubt lingers into adulthood) this is just one tiny aspect of PA behavior by target parent.
NOW DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM?
Then let’s get a legal system that is fair and just. A balance of honest judges elected by the public. A media note run by the judiciary committee.
*not run by the judiciary committee’s “FIRE BRIGADE” 🚒
How many abusers coerce their children’s mothers/girlfriends/wives to recant their lived experiences of abuse stated to authorities? How many recorded phone calls from the CT Dept. Of Corrections by abusive fathers begging their victims asking them to lie, help get the abusers out; lie to the victims alleging that horrible traumatic life threatening events are taking place against them in jail because of the victim bring honest to authorities, how many abusive fathers are calling their victim spouses BLAMING, SHAMING their victims for these “FAKED MADE UP” events. Why is no ” Prosecuting attorney who is worried that a victim will not show up in court and make their statement Because of fear or because they have been being threatened by the abusive father’s family or the abusive father themselves from the phone calls made from the department of corrections using these phone calls to prove that is the reason the victims are not coming forward especially when these phone calls are legally being recorded and they are used in many other cases?
I can say from my own lived experience after being a strangulation victim and almost murdered by my child’s father that he called me from Hartford department of corrections on a daily basis crying to me, Begging for my help, Swearing that he would Make it up to Me Until his dying day for trying to kill me, if I help him get out of jail, because all of these prisoner’s are threatening HIM and HIS life was endanger, and HE acted as of its my fault he was in jail, he also claimed he didn’t remember any of it (how convenient), and he alleged to be under the influence of drugs and not a sound mind, he wrote letters to me every day from jail, and all of this done when a protection order was issued and in place that stated he was not to have any contact at all with me.
The jail never prevented any contact, nor his phone calls to me manipulating me and coercing me to feeling bad for him, him lying to me about what the circumstances really were; claiming that the police department and the department of corrections did a blood draw and found PCP drugs in his system and that’s what made him go crazy and try to STRANGLE me to death. These were all LIES, just to manipulate me,, make me feel sorry for him, feel like I needed to protect him, so that I would help him not go to jail because the judge was thinking of upping the charges because my injuries were so serious.
These abusive men/fathers will use a woman’s unconditional love for her family, unconditional (unhealthy love that women learn over generations)
for him and manipulate her, the kids, the facts, just to benefit himself and avoid being held accountable.
Don’t forget that because the courts are based on equity that every time a man abuses a woman and goes to the Department of corrections he is auctioned off on the stock market and makes the state a ton of money on top of the federal grant money that is given to the state to house him and protect him being under the state’s care.
Victims are not held under the state care therefore they are an expense and the states do not like expenses. They do not want to give away their money and programs for free to victims of the violence. Why? Because the money that comes in to replace the state’s expenses for victims does not even compare to the state’s expenses to hold that criminal in department of corrections.
Remember the state is all about equity it is not about a parent is it is not about protecting children and it is definitely not about protecting women and Mother’s but it is Given a 150 million dollar incentive every year to protect the rights of fathers and provide access over everything even if they are abusive in fact when a mother claims that they are being abused or their children are being abused 85% of the time the custody is switched to the abuser let’s not ignore the facts.
Look at what Chris Ambrose has achieved. He is a roadmap of how the fatherhood writes initiative and funding program goes and protects abusers. His case his actions and the replies from state agencies judges attorneys in Connecticut is a roadmap to prove that this is a fatherhood verse motherhood issue and anybody that disagrees with that is a sheep and blind because there is no motherhood.gov HHS program there is no mother rights written into state policies and precedent, Through these a prime court like there is for fathers just do the research on cases the last 20 plus years remember that mothers have to leave their home they have to take all their children father’s husbands cut off their access to funding while they are in domestic violent shelters in the only way they get the funding back is if they comply with the abuser’s demand which is usually for them to return back to the home with the children.
Besides that they can afford an attorney and in civil LA there is no requirement for anyone to be appointed in attorney therefore you have to actually enforce your rights through an attorney on your own dime and what mother going through a domestic violence shelter cut off from all funding by the abusive ex-husband or husband or chilgrandfather can afford an attorney to enforce her rights??
Add the labor market and women don’t even make close to the amount that men make especially single mothers having to work 3 jobs with only a high school diploma…. Oh but wait that’s right it’s her fault that she’s in that situation that she is in right and so just leave it upon her on her own to get herself out of it with no support no money no home and only 30 days in a shelter that’s all but of a victim that is a mother gets she gets 30 days to get her entire life together after being traumatized for 5,10,15, 25 years by her husband…..
The bar is always set so low for fathers and set so high from mothers and women whether they have children or not…..
Wake up Mother’s wake up women and start learning how to be sisterly with each other because if we don’t support each other and we keep thinking that we have to have a man be our voice or we have to coincide with men or fight this fight only with men by our side we are never going to be free we are never going to have our rights established legally.
No good mother no good father that are healthy parents created the situation it has become a mother versus father a father versus mother situation because of the Congress and State Language use and the funding going along with it.
Here’s a problem:
According to “Dr.” Richard Gardner and way too many “family court” administrators, judges, attorneys and private vendors: ALL ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE are “false”.
Gardner, Kinsey, The Kinsey Institute at the UN, Lucifer and probably “the Lucius Trust” at the UN and their followers have pushed diabolical ideas about sexual abuse and the early sexualization of children since the 1950s and 60s. It’s part of a political agenda to destroy families first, then nations.
Have you ever seen that problem?
If you haven’t already, please research the sick theories Gardner spread throughout America and the entire world. Those diabolical ideas astroturfed via public-private networks such as “AFCC, Inc.” because of: perverts, financial incentives, ignorance, no oversight and no accountability — with help from compromised mainstream media outlets.

While Rome burns …
What about the right for people to want to identify as their gender. The entire world is being altered. Why do people have to be re identified?
Um, you’re only allowed to comment if you tell us what you look like, Anonymous.
To erase women’s rights. Think about it women aren’t even considered women when they are pregnant now. When a woman gets pregnant in the United States she loses all autonomy until the child is the age of majority. Women who become mothers are now called birthing people. Not mothers.
There seems to be only one class re-identified and that is women.
My four-year-old son was murdered by his father. He told his lawyer, I alienate him yet he killed our son to hurt me. I never once kept Grayson from him we had 50% custody that was always followed, but when you have a mental disorder and narcissistic behaviors, you are above anyone else. This isn’t mothers against fathers. This is parents against parents. If one parent is harming another your child is not safe. I would’ve much rather have been alienated from my child then have one buried in the ground. The father, killed himself and took the coward way out And ultimately my four-year-old beautiful baby boy named Grayson suffered and I suffer and continue to suffer every single day until I die. So take your parental alienation and shove it wherever you want but the truth is is that coercive control exists and now that we have Greyson‘s law in Florida , with the right proof of course of control that shows patterns of abuse, a judge can intervene. The end.
Ali,
I just found your group’s webpage and am so sorry for your loss. When I read:
This line stood out:
“… They just chose to ignore it, giving power to parents’ rights first, not children’s safety. …”
Without naming names, who ignored the red flags? The attorney(s), judge(s), guardian(s) ad litem, therapist(s) and/or DCF/CPS?
Were those who ignored the red flags mandated reporters?
I hope you don’t mind me asking. Looking for the patterns to find the causes will help.
Were any individuals involved in the case affiliated with “AFCC, Inc.”, by any chance?
Any common threads/ conflicts of interest among those who mishandled the case?
Tragic and a clear example of the failed system built on hypothesis of parental alienation. So sorry for your loss 🙏.
Sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear about this.
You cannot say that this is not father’s first mother’s or mothers verse fathers when the funding and the language speaks for itself. Being someone who has fought tirelessly for your child’s name to be recognized in a law is really astounding to me that you do not understand how the linguistics will prevent any law in any child’s name being an actual law of enforcement. Creating more funding for a state is not going to protect children the real argument should be why do we even need money to incentivize states to protect women and our children. Why are lawmakers not standing up and actually writing women and Mother’s and children into their policies and into their State laws to give them the rights and protections that they need and deserve?
Being someone who has been fighting and Meeting with lawmakers pertaining to the murder of your son it is extremely concerning to me that you are not pointing out the clear bias against women and mothers by the states in America.
And how that bias has been exacerbated with the funding incentive that was supposed to be to protect children and women yet has been redirected to the department of correction and to access and visitation grants for fathers fatherhood initiative.
I am asking this Question to you as Greyson’s mother, and I don’t mean to come across as being coarse.
Please explain to me your knowledge on the fatherhood initiative program funding in your state and how it pertains to protecting the rights OF CHILDREN Do not be physically spiritually mentally harmed by fathers and mothers. Also how it pertains to mothers how is this funding supporting others having access to their children when they are given custody over to the Abusive father?
How is the memorandum of understanding signed by All state agencies involved in the protection safety well-being health of children and Victims of violence Helping to protect them? Especially when the language is clearly bias and discriminatory towards women and mothers. Nowhere in this memorandum of understanding doesn’t mention mothers. It is all about fathers and how they need to have access to their children or they will not be successful in their lives….. It says nothing about mothers.
Please stop misinforming the public.
Orr share whatever knowledge you have that us researchers and women that have been in the civil courts, family courts, and criminal courts for the last 22 years don’t know about, and you miraculously do.
How are all of these laws being passed in the name of these children who have been murdered by fathers protecting anyone when they have no teeth and it’s all about funding?
Don’t you think the billions of dollars that get made off of this industry every year is enough or you think that they actually need more incentive to protect women and children?
Because vawa is not a law that’s inforcible when violated. There is no private right to a claim when a victim’s rights are violated because vawa is not a law, it is a Federal law pertaining to funding and the only punishment that a state gets when it violates bogus VAWA, is they lose a little bit of funding. that’s it.
And to prove that these focus funding incentive federal laws don’t work I mean look at etiquette they just got out of 30 years being under oversight of the federal government because of their department of social services committed crimes horrible crimes and they are continuing to commit horrible crimes and just had 3 babies died under their after just getting out of the federal oversight for 30 years a couple of months ago….
So how is this working out?
Dear Safe parenting organization and court employees, please be advised of the podcast in slam the gavel. Not only is parental alienation being used as an excuse for abusive behavior. It’s now approaching being used a defense against murder.
How so?
Everyone knows the PAS crew believes that they are justified in everything including murder. There is a record of it. Settle or face death.

Parental alienation is a tactic of abusers. Call it child neglect, psychological abuse and domestic violence by proxy – that’s why it never works for moms- it’s for male abusers to continue to victimize.
ℹ️👋🏼 When parental alienating behaviours are in play, the potential for false or exaggerated allegations of child abuse are significantly increased for several reasons:
💠 Alienating parents may use emotional manipulation to influence the child’s perceptions and beliefs. This manipulation can lead the child to make false or exaggerated claims, believing it aligns with the alienating parent’s wishes or to gain approval.
💠 Children subjected to parental alienation may face pressure or coercion from the alienating parent to make false allegations as a means to further isolate or harm the other parent.
💠 Alienating parents may be predisposed to believing and encouraging allegations of abuse as it aligns with their agenda to alienate the other parent. They may ignore or dismiss evidence that contradicts these allegations.
💠 Children in alienation scenarios may make false allegations in an attempt to gain the favour or love of the alienating parent, who may condition their affection on making such claims.
💠 In some cases, the child may genuinely believe the false allegations due to the constant influence of the alienating parent, who may distort the child’s perception of reality.
💠 Alienating parents often lack objectivity and may inadvertently or intentionally instil biases in the child, making it more likely for them to make false claims.
💠 False allegations can be used as a strategic tool in custody battles or legal disputes, with alienating parents hoping to gain an advantage in court proceedings.
Given these factors, it is imperative that professionals involved in these cases possess specialised training and expertise to differentiate between genuine claims and those that may be a product of parental alienation. A thorough and objective investigation is crucial to protect the child’s well-being and the integrity of the legal process.

⚠️ Probably NOT a good idea to download random things onto your computer. ⚠️
Mothers, women in general, are huge purveyors of alienation. It’s the manipulation tactic they employ the most. Being less physically able to abuse men, they withhold the children from their fathers as their form of abuse. It’s extremely cruel and so common that social workers are trained to look out for it.
I call complete bullshit on your fraud. Inability to manipulate and run the agenda. Fraud.
Are any of those groups discussing the extortion?
The United Nations issued the below report back in May 2023. Parental Alienation is used to hide pedophiles and abusers like Chris Ambrose and Geoff Herzog among others
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23813311-un-report-on-alienation-5-2023
PAS is a fraud. I’ll agree to that. Richard Garnder was a snake oil salesman to wealthy men, and PAS is used disproportionately by wealthy men to disempower women and children.
But Parental Alienation is something clinically recognized and part of the accepted literature. I know it exists because I experienced it as a kid.
Coercive control is also something clinically recognized and part of the accepted literature. And thanks to Mr. Cuda’s ease in twisting Jennifer’s Law, it was actually Coercive Control that was used by pedophile and abuser Christopher Ambrose to label 110-pound special education teacher Karen Riordan as a violent abuser.
Ambrose tried to alienate his teenagers from Karen, but it didn’t take. They are three beautiful children with their own minds, and I pray for their safety every day.
But others have used Parental Alienation and poisoned their children against their former spouse. I’ve written about Luigi DiRubba and Anna Maria Mongillo. And I’ve written about Yvonne and Pierre de St. Croix.
In those cases, both women weaponized PA and DARVO to attempt to destroy the father’s relationship with the children. Anna Maria Mongillo, with the help of Attorney Marianne Charles and Judge Jane Kupson Grossman, allowed Luigi’s children to be alienated, and then when reunification was to begin, to have them taken across at least nine state lines to Florida with no consequences. Charles and Grossman covered for her actions which, if Luigi had engaged in, there would have been an Amber Alert and interstate kidnapping charges.
Yvonne de St. Croix is just as unhinged, but she was stopped. Say what you will about Judge Thomas Moukawsher (who just left the bench), but he put a stop to her crazy. The father and the kid in that case at least have a chance at a relationship.
PA describes real behavior, as does Coercive Control.
What I don’t think is right is to eliminate one definition because of the economics of federal grants. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) apparently incentivizes coercive control at the expense of PA to the extent that millions of dollars in grant money is earmarked for states and entities that push coercive control in state law reform. The belief is that this would help women. In Connecticut, it was Jennifers’ Law. But we saw how it can be twisted to hurt women in the Ambrose v. Riordan case.
I think we should follow the science and the clinical findings. Don’t eliminate definitions and tools like PA and Coercive Control because they don’t fit an agenda. But it’s human nature to follow the money, and that’s why Family Courts are a mess.
PAS is fraud and not peer reviewed with a positive outcome. It’s criminality in motion
When someone can bring forth a case of judge Mouckwsher allowed a woman to present evidence of abuse and or pediphia maybe we can call him a hero. He’s cutting down of the court time spent on cases allowed at least one mother to loose her access to her children. Alienated and removed from their lives, but financially obligated. When the father is extremely capable of financially paying. Where the mother was not. Judges are not allowing mothers to present evidence. The GALs in several cases are obstructing moms from having the information brought to court. Covering up and using parental alienation. Spiteful parenting is being used by both genders. Yet, it appears Connecticut family court judges are pushing cases of parental alienation/ gatekeeping. Until accountable and bias in court is eliminated we can label the judges heros. A majority are abusing their power. Are shielding themselves with the forced use of gals. Clinical psychology who are bias. The significant amount of money being payed beyond the state average cost for out of pocket mental health services. Bankrupting people and obstructing them from being able to defend themselves in family court. Parental alienation industry is abusing the system. The AFCC needs to be abolished.
The scariest thing about all of this:
We the People of The United States of America have allowed for-profit “family court” networks experiment on our children and families in sick experiments.
Knock on any “family court” therapist’s office door. Ask them what they do with child custody cases involving disclosures of sexual abuse. Ask them what they think of the purposeful early sexualization of children. Ask them if they think girls can be boys and boys can be girls.
You probably already know what their answers would be. 😐
It’s not parental alienation. I’ll use examples.
What a mother who is harmed by someone who claims to love her her children’s father the one thing she knows she needs to do is she needs to protect herself and she needs to protect her children from his violence. Cps tells her she needs to leave, Emily court tells her if she leaves they will take her children from her and remove her from the house and give the children to the Abusive father.
Mother feels put in a corner, But her instincts are telling her she needs to protect her children above all else even if that means being murdered and or going to jail.
So mother takes child children and relocates to another state to another country does anything she can and hides to protect those children and make sure they are safe and make it to another year of their life.
Abusive father claims parental alienation, Claims the mother is coercively controlling the children, And turning them against the abusive father. Even though this is farther from the truth, As it is the abuser’s own behavior and choices of behavior that is pushing his children away from him and forcing the mother to protect them.
Upon these claims By the abusive father during family court; fatherhood initiative funding kicks in, mediation is created, gals are appointed, Therapist is appointed and both parents are forced to pay or if they are low-income These court appoints its specialists are paid at a state wage by taxpayer money.
Mother is then forced to co-parent with a violent Abusive father of her children, Something everyone knows is completely impossible. The abuse of father makes up false allegations about how mother is making the transition of visitation difficult, And Other allegations that paint the mother in a negative light…..
Custody gets the Switch to abusive father, Now all the sudden it’s okay for the mother to be alienated by the abusive father who prevents her from having phone conversations and quality time with the child or children by constantly interjecting himself into conversations and or trying to control the time just to cause panic and pain at the mother…. And never thinking about how this affects the children.
Mother files with the family court contempt motions about how she is being prevented from seeing her children and instead of these motions being heard judges are throwing them out and then telling these mothers they cannot file in court anymore which is a violation of their constitutional rights and shilling of speech.
The courts are getting away with blaming mothers for being emotional or erratic because the best way to harm a mother or to make her act emotional or even come across as erratic is to take her children and to give them to someone who’s extremely violent and abusive and not allowing contact by cutting all contact off….
Then these mothers are judged and no one supports them…. But how can anyone blame a mother who is cut off from her child while her child is being abused every day by someone that they know is horribly violent and coercive and manipulative.
A lot of these children that become attached to their abusers and the women as well this is not parental alienation this is literally Stockholm Syndrome.
So you gotta make sure of domestic violence including DARVO where it’s continued after the parent split because the father is now gaining custody and that is darvo not parental alienation but a lot of mothers are teaming up with fathers who are claiming parental alienation because they think it’s the only way that they’re going to be heard and then they claim the fathers are alienating them from their children… When in fact this is ongoing domestic violence it is ongoing DARVO it is not parental alienation
“PAS is used disproportionately by wealthy men to disempower women and children.”
Unfortunately, many kinds of people use Gardner’s “PAS” scam. Not just “wealthy men”.
Here’s a quick list:
perverted judges, attorneys, private court vendors and judicial branch employees
ignorant judges, attorneys, private court vendors and judicial branch employees
compromised judges, attorneys, private court vendors and judicial branch employees
greedy judges, attorneys, private court vendors and judicial branch employees
judges, attorneys, private court vendors and judicial branch employees who are misled
Any record of any grand juries in any states going after the “kids for cash” schemes?
Parental alienation is fraud
it is not fraud when you experience it… and as we can tell by the naysayers being all woman AFFECTING THEIR WALLETS (alimony & child support…cough cough) AND THEY DON’T WANT 50/50 time . because they consider it a loss. another leech of society.
Minimal child support. Father refusing to pay for anything else. I don’t bother bringing him back to court. If you don’t want to be responsible for children. Wear a condom or get a vasectomy. Children cost money to raise. Like it or not there are mothers. Stop using your children to punish their mother because you don’t like her anymore. Your children shouldn’t suffer cause you all of a sudden don’t want to be responsible.
Look at the guy from Dad talk. He spends all of his time on line. It’s the new wife watching the kids. Bitching about child support payments. Doesn’t like the x wife the kids mother but is never with the kids. 50/50 is for father’s who are actually interested in the children. Not saving on child support. If Mom was the primary care taker in an intact family why should it change? The kids lives should not be turned upside down.
Demented statements
Is it? Or are you just not happy with the statement?
There’s all kinds of alienation. Just like: There’s all kinds of hostility and sin.
Mother-in-law alienation is a thing.
Neighbor alienation is a thing.
Public schools alienating minors from parents is allowed and enforced in many states.
Etc.
“parental abomination”, “parental recreation”, “parental notification” etc.
No one can say there’s no such thing.
Dr. Richard Gardner first coined the term, “Parental Alienation Syndrome” to flip child custody from protective parents (mostly the mothers) to identified perpetrators of sexual abuse (mostly the fathers). Later, many promoting that strategy modified the label to the less controversial label: “parental alienation” — and most recently, “coercive control”.
Gardner spent time in Germany in the 1960s.
Does anyone know where he was and what he did there?
The Frankfurt School, Alfred Kinsey and Hugh Hefner etc. started pushing early sexualization and perversions on the public in the 1950s and 60s … then Gardner started pushing the same in “family courts” in the 1980s.
Also in the 1980s: HHS funded public-private AFCC, Inc. networks in California, Minnesota and Connecticut — mostly pushing early sexualization and Gardner’s child custody flips. AFCC Inc. networks then astroturfed around the world — following the same basic tours of nations Gardner visited when he traveled on his book tours.
The UK, The Netherlands, Canada, Argentina … the methodical destruction of families went global, in many of the same ways we’re seeing today in a twisted “New World Order”.
Peter doesn’t represent me or the larger number of women who have evidence of the junk science being brought in to the family court. He’s taken it upon himself to speak for people in the state. He’s using the platform to deny the state significant domestic violence. The largest trafficking issue in Connecticut is fatherhood funding. Key player judges and GALs as well as psychologist have suppressed profund evidence of abuse in family court. We can all agree that the courts are absolutely currupt. Harming the entire nation. We need an investigation from the government out side Connecticut indefinitely. Our political leaders are epicly and relentlessly failing it’s residents. We need our inspector generals office to be fully operational and given the ability to investigate fraud through out the family law industry. As well as the political leaders and agencies. 50/50 is not the answer. A real accountable and well over seen judicial system with public involvement. Not Attorney’s or friends of political leaders. We need to stop the gender bias funding and political agenda. Using federal funding to give raises, benefits, and retirement funds to the state paychecks. The criminal court is just ss currupt. Saving on cost to house prisoners. Assistance to domestic violence victims is not the problem. The problem is fatherhood funding.
Someone, please cite sources to prove:
I believe you meant “affluent litigant,” not “litigants,” Richard. I do not know if data that correlate respective finances are contained in these materials, but from my experience and exposure, the parent with the money is the one who runs the PA scheme.
In a majority of instances it is the man with more money, who finds that his best defensive is an offense. Bemoaning gender bias toward mothers is their asserted justification, and they can sustain lengthy, expensive, water-torturing custody and (particularly) post-judgment actions. These power-hungry (not child-hungry) men can expert shop and engage all the ancillary Court “vendors,” in Frank’s excellent term, to corroborate a finding of PA.
Not always. The state is giving grant money to incarcerated father’s. Custody and access dispute. The mother is labeled an alienatior. Custody flip is accring. Some one is also saying that unions are paying for divorce. It’s happening all across the board in Connecticut. Just watch the silver alerts in Connecticut for children. There custody flips. Hearings they don’t know about. The moms are without counsel. When these gentlemen are let out of jail they often have large child support debt to the state. The moms and were on state assistance. The fatherhood initiative welfare reform funding. It’s happening across the board in Connecticut. I’m sure in other states as well. Maternal gatekeeping. Women expressing concerns over their children. It’s flipped into alienation. 2022 ” all Connecticut fathers to be involved in their childrens lives” no language for mothers. No language for the safety of children. Thanks to the legislators in Connecticut. Attached to funding. Sean Scanlon held a conference down at the Connecticut shore line. $$$ . To discuss the funding. Recruitment and demonstrational need for funding for these programs..
Not only is the custody flipping but the state assistance. Often grams, or sister are put in for child care. They collect food stamps, housing assistance. Attorneys fees are paid. Reunification therapy possibly. It’s generating income for the state of Connecticut through federal funding. The state distribution of fatherhood funding is the question. It’s not based on income or race. You don’t need to be an incarcerated father. PPE loans to Attorneys. A large amount of PPE loans during covid to Connecticut in question. Richard Blumenthal D-CT and Chris Murphy looked them over and made decisions for there ligitimacy. Religious organizations/churches got a lot of money.
Can anyone tell us which state or federal office(s) know exactly who’s doing what, when, why, where and how?
