Reunification therapy, often a family court-ordered treatment to repair fractured parent-child relationships, is in some expert’s opinions, child abuse.
Journalists Michael Volpe, and Megan Fox joined me on “The Unknown Podcast” to discuss the matter.
One case we spoke of was one that Volpe broke.
Tori Nielsen recounted her traumatic experience with reunification therapy camp to Volpe.
Nielsen described the journey as terrifying. She said she and her brother were threatened during the ride.
“They told us that if we didn’t do what they said, we’d never see our mom again,” she said.
Fox has covered similar cases and compared reunification therapy camps to the “tough love” camps of the 1990s, which were later widely considered abusive.
“This is going to be another dark chapter in history,” Fox predicted. “We’ll see documentaries exposing these reunification camps, just like we did with those tough love camps.”
Dark Chapter of the King of Reunification Randy Rand
One of the central figures in the controversy is Randy Rand, a psychologist who got into trouble with the Board of Psychology more than a decade ago for two cases, one of which involved his reunification therapy.
In a child custody case in Florida, the father had sole custody. The mother sought to pay to change custody. Three conspirators volunteered for the paid assignment.
A child custody evaluator was paid to conclude the child was alienated from the mother and recommended counseling with Dr. Robert Evans. Evans, in turn, was paid to testify the child needed a parental alienation program designed by Rand, an expert in parental alienation syndrome.
Rand testified that his reunification camp reunifies an alienated child with the non-custodial parent. He compared alienated children to children abducted and brainwashed by a cult. His program required the court to order the child to participate in his camp with the mother and then go “home with the previously rejected parent” as a “permanent arrangement.”
The judge asked Rand whether this particular child should go to the camp. Rand said the child was severely alienated and, “for the child’s best interest,” custody should be permanently flipped to the mother – but only after the child and parent went through his (expensive) intervention program.
Rand knew that if the court ordered the intervention, he would perform it with the child and mother at camp and later train the child’s therapist in his reunification technique – both of whom – teacher and student – would bill for the services and open the door to many more child-flipping referrals.
A complaint was made. The Board determined Rand neglected to tell the court that he had never once met, interviewed, or evaluated the child, but testified that the child was severely alienated (as if he were abducted by a cult) and made a recommendation to change custody.
The Board also determined Rand lied when he told the Board that the judge only asked “generic information pertaining to a program [that he] developed.”
The Board, which could, after all, get the court transcripts, was annoyed with his direct lies to them and his lies by omission to the court, not to speak of his naked greed. They revoked Rand’s license but, because money is at stake, and money rules the day in child custody matters where experts are involved, stayed Rand’s license revocation for five years upon condition that he pay a ethics and billing monitor to oversee his practice.
A defiant Rand took the case to trial. The trial court upheld the board’s decision that he was grossly negligent, and violated the legal standards governing psychologists. Rand appealed and lost. Meanwhile Rand continued to operate the reunification camp Family Bridges, which helps the more affluent parent to purchase custody in family courts across the land.
Gottlieb Will ‘Get the Truth Out’ and Then Again She Won’t
I want to be fair and get the other side. I have been seeking an interview with the queen of reunification therapy camps, Linda Gottlieb, who runs Turning Points for Families.
According to her media consultant, Gottlieb will interview if I did not ask about any of the multiple lawsuits pending against her in various courts.
I agreed to limiting the interview’s scope and told her what I wanted to ask:
A) Why does parental alienation have a medical/clinical basis and what is it? Opponents who say PA isn’t in the DSM, but at least five of the underlying conditions defining PA are.
B) Why are those who deny PA are mistaken? Albert Einstein said in his letters that he was alienated from his son based on his ex-wife’s actions. Einstein is a pretty good spokesperson for your cause.
C) How is PA medically/clinically diagnosed?
D) How is PA as a clinical condition different from PA as a legal doctrine?
E) What is reunification therapy and how does it affect/treat PA?
F) What is your/Turning Points’ methodology for treatment?
G) What is your response to those who claim reunification therapy is a form of coercive control and child abuse?
The media consultant replied.
“Linda… is willing to speak with you and get the truth out. Here are our conditions:
“1) We will both record the whole interview.
“2) Please leave out any questions or mention of pending litigation….
“3) All of your questions look good, with the exclusion of D) How is PA as a clinical condition different from PA as a legal doctrine? Linda is not a lawyer, and will only agree to this interview if you leave out all legal questions. Linda is available next week some time. Please let me know the details and format you’d like to use….
Later last week, I received word that Gottlieb would not do the interview.
Meanwhile, I’m trying to get someone, anyone, to explain why reunification therapy is based on sound medicine, good science, and valid clinical practice.
Maybe Randy Rand will agree to interview.

[…] Cook County doesn’t protect children—it protects abusers. When the reunification scheme failed, Morgan switched to the infamous “silver bullet” strategy. She ran ex parte to Judge […]
family courts place children in “therapy” to influence children’s beliefs, mindset, attitude, and worldview.
family courts collect mental health data on children.
family courts don’t ask parents which ideology parents and children prefer for the courts influence on children and the family.
family courts serve to force specific ideologies on children and families.

$ 1, 289, 849 064.00 in HHS grants from 2008 to present to promote healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood. The use of federal funding to weaponize the entire United States to promote gatekeeper/ alienation industry. The money is going to the states. This is exactly why nothing is being done about the fraud in the family courts
You should ask ” The Queen of reunification” how much money if any she has received in grants for studies. You are probably going to get a good look at the HHS funding fueling fraudulent non therapeutic treatment pushed because of the welfare reform act. ” Healthy Marriage and responsible fatherhood”. The department of justice gives the grants to the office of policy and management. How much money would the alienation industry loose and the attorneys if parental alienation and reunification went away. How much more would the nation be in-depth for child support arrarage? They are going to attack Tina cause she is demonstrating the fraudulent practices. Tina is not getting in the way of healthy psychological treatment. Tina is exposing the” alienation industry ” for exactly what it is. Child abuse. Why is the United States government ignoring it? $$$$$$$_ project funded by the department of justice.
The biggest problems are in policy and management. The funding for public health issues. It’s steams from healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood the economic growth and development of the United States. Fixing these polices and the court system perhaps will actually work as a fair system. The legislation and funding are all controlled with policy and management with federal funding attached. Best interest is not attached to well-being. It’s attached to financial insensitive. The parental alienation industry and are using the office of policy and management to control the family court system. They are using static not broken down and controlling narrative. Finding alienation in any situation. Using constitutional biological rights and entitlement over emotional/psychological well-being. The AFCC doesn’t differentiate between true cases of abuse. It’s based on policies. Tina is getting in the way of the alienation industry domination of the social experiment. The forced reunification through the office of policy and management. ” Healthy Marriage/ families directed through the fatherhood initiative generation of funding to the states. The failure of statistics to be broken down. Evidence is suppressed in case to implement the policys attached to funding. This goes beyond the family law industry taking advantage to the system. Punishing people for non compliance of policy and management. Failure to focus on the merits brought with evidence in a family court system case. Intimate partner violence is being turned into a public health care crisis and not a crime. Using the” rehabilitation ” of the perpetrator to solve the problem instead of punishment. ” Go to the police ” get punished for reporting/ criminal justice reform. Equity and inclusion” civil rights ” being used against victims including children for crimes committed against them. Reunification of the victim with the perpetrator. Family law cases are pushed through the court while the criminal case is pending, dropped or plea bargained.
Uconn is paying men to be studies for intimate partner ” conflict”. Self reported studies with federal funding attached.
” reimagining intimate partner violence through restorative justice” the circle of peace. Criminal justice reform.
If you want to figure out the problem in family court look no further than Marsha Kline Pruitt from Smith college/Yale University. The blaming of domestic violence victims. Working in collaboration with her husband at Yale. Development of the AFCC model in Connecticut forced agreements or take the children away. If you want to know why domestic violence victims are loosing their children globally just follow the models. AFCC model promoted. If you want to know where victim blaming started looking no further . Punished for reporting.
It’s Pruett. They are extremely responsible for the Connecticut family court process. They are heavily influencing the entire United States family court system, as well as globally. If the United nations task force wants to figure out why women are losing custody it’s for social science. These people are the reason parental alienation industry has been so successful.
It’s Pruett. These people are working with equal and shared parenting for 50/50 legislation. If you go to the police department or domestic violence shelter in Connecticut they perceive you as the perpetrator. Thanks to the Pruetts. This is why the men’s rights groups are telling you to go to the police department. So you can be labeled. This is why Hammel has been brought to the state of Connecticut. To work in conjunction with Pruett, the parental alienation industry. Domestic violence by proxy. All statigic and men’s rights silver bullets. I promotion of the fatherhood initiative. Bringing in funding to the Universities Uconn, Yale, Smith college ECT. Exploiting the welfare reform act and fatherhood initiative. It’s to get out of paying child support if you are a man in high conflict litigation. If you don’t agree on custody arrangement your children will be taken away. If you don’t comply and force your children in to visitation you will be arrested . The ccadv has changed the stigma of domestic violence because they are partnered with the fatherhood initiative. They are are trying to change the language from domestic violence to intimate partner violence so victims can be blamed. Ending domestic violence. Ending funding for violence against women. The are using equity and inclusion and blaming women This is the strategic planning for the state of Connecticut. Bought and paid for by monetized white men. Placing the face of minority men on it. Poverty stricken minority women in the shelter are suffering the most. This is all for the economic growth and development of the state of Connecticut. For prodomitly men.
They are going to toss everything and the kitchen sink at you if you don’t cooperate with their beliefs. The fatherhood initiative has nothing to do with assistance for co parenting. Responsible fatherhood using federal grant money in the promotion of male superiority , using legal dominance in family dynamics. Restrictive gatekeeping/ parental alienation to minimize experiences and punishment for reporting. Pushing bogus statistics, self reported studies, and poor social view of women engaged in high conflict divorce. Settle or have your children taken. Minimizing the effects of domestic violence and blaming women for the problem. Connecticut has been instrumental in the war on women. The entire welfare reform has been targeted against women and the promotion of men over women due to economic value.
A good look at the parental alienation conference in Canada. ” Women making a pit stop at the domestic violence shelter” on the way to divorce court. Black women, than Hispanic and American Indians are most effected by domestic violence. They often are in shelters because of their financial situations. Have no where else to go. These are all monetized cases. McKay complains the shelter is not determining who is lying. Financial insensitive? Victims services are in danger of loosing funding. The public defender office ( that house the GALs) spent 22 thousand dollar on a party. The fatherhood initiative has conferences in elaborate places. Is the ccadv on the board for the fatherhood initiative to help domestic violence victims? A large number minority women. Is Connecticut really about equity and inclusion? Is it about bringing more money in Connecticut for the public defender office, health and human services , the politicians receiving raises and the benefits and retirement funds? Grant funding for the colleges? Children are not benefiting . How ” excited”is the ccadv to bring in more money for fatherhood and have a critical shortage of funding for victim services? Services mostly used for women and children. All the answers can be found in the AFCC, parental alienation industry and the welfare reform act.
Megan Scanlin the head of the ccadv is on the board for fatherhood initiative. ” Ending domestic violence” perhaps no longer recognizing it in regards to women.. Megan Scanlin is not fighting for domestic violence victims mostly women to no longer be further victimized by domestic violence by having their children taken away in family court. There is no where to go. Victims are being blamed for ” traumatizing” them provocative them. Female victims of domestic violence will not be able to attempt to protect their children and request custody. The ccadv if screwing over domestic violence victims in the family court for fatherhood funding. Connecticut needs a domestic violence organization for women that is not run by the state of Connecticut. One that is not run by the man who controls finances of the state of Connecticut

The definition of parental alienation in Connecticut.. One parent told their children the sky is blue and the other told them it was gray. The one who said the sky was gray has a court order for child support. The parent paying child support decided that the parent stating the sky is blue is not supporting a relationship with them . The children believe that the sky is blue. They don’t want to continue to argue with the parent who sees gray skys. Gray sky parent watches videos from the Dolan law group on 50/50; and the relation to reduction of child support or elimination. Gray sky parent decided they should go to court and claim parental alienation. One parent attempts to strangle their spouses because they filled for divorce. The children watched the strangulation and fear for their lives and the other parents. Connecticut knows that parents who don’t see their children refuse to pay child support. So the judges orders a guardian ad lithiums to claim parental alienation. The victim is turned into the perpetrator. Just like women who report sexual assaults. Connecticut is focused on financials. They have significantly reduced the cost of incarceration. ” The leader in criminal justice reform” . Blaming victims and teaching them to be silent. Connecticut will create racial tension use HHS funding and hide behind . We will use the MOU for fatherhood to superceed human rights. Create gender wars. Connecticut will use the cost savings of investment in fatherhood and continue to save money by not investing in violence against women. Women will have to work together much like the underground slave tunnels to gain freedom from abusers. # women have become an enemy of the state of Connecticut because of financial resources. The state will continue to sacrifice the children to hold onto money. The loss of life is no matter when billions of dollars are at risk. Children molested in the state is covered up . # we have the patterns and William Tong and the department of justice are ignoring it
Thank you for identifying some of the dangers to children associated with forcing children to attend these programs.
Too many conspiracy theories in the comments. The reality is the family court system in CT destroys families.
Parental alienation is real. Sometimes a mom does it, sometimes a father does it, sometimes both do it, and sometimes it doesn’t exist.
Yes, there are lots of incompetent GALs and AMCs. It’s much easierto be a court-appointed atty than one who can be dismissed at the whim of the client.
Yes, judges are overwhelmed and sometimes incompetent. Yes, attorneys are greedy and many are unethical.
And many of the so-called psychological professionals are incompetent or poor at finding fact. And it should be clear that mental health issues are far more prevalent in society than was understood in the past.
None of the conspiracy theories move the ball forward. My heart goes out to any family that has to deal with the dysfunctional family court system and corrupt GALs and AMCs in CT.
These are not conspiracy. These are an accumulations of facts. The state of Connecticut is hidding sexual assaults and domestic violence. Parental alienation is a tactic. Nothing you have stated has supported the theory. It’s not real it’s a legal tactic to deflect from abuse and sexual assaults. Support the theory or STOP THE USE IN FAMILY COURT.
The crime of parental alienation. Southbury patch written by Joan Kloth-Zanard . 2012 Neighbor and Ct ” parental alienation expert.”
Jerry Mastrangelo, a father hasn’t seen his triplets in 2 years. Keeping children from a biological parent when there is no evidence of that parent being unfit is a crime, that’s why Mr. Mastrangelo hired Norm Pattis.
Fast forward to 2024. The Bethany attempted covers up of sexual assault.
July 2024 CT Insider Officials offer few answers to angry residents over child sex abuse cases.
It focused on how officials handled allegations that 25-year-old Anthoney Joseph Mastrangelo molested four girls at an after-school program run by the town’s Parks and Recreations Department. ” He’s a triplet, and we have triplets in the family,” she said of Mastrangelo.
Why is Connecticut attempting to cover up sexual assault? What is going on in parental alienation cases and could there be a link? Was the original case part of why it was being covered up?
Despite his arrest reported in the news, no information can be found on the judicial website. I wonder 🤔 why
When you use the alphabet to attack an entire gender with psychological warfare, they are going to fight back. It’s a telling sign when an individual is entitled to report on cases for convince. Becomes enraged when someone reports on theirs. Your entitlement and inability to except criticism as well as define your theories is a display of dominance. This has been going on for far too long. With no one addressing the harm to the public. You can continue to attempt to run over an entire group of people, but they are not going to lay down flat. Your not going to dominate the conversation that needs to be had about family court. We will take every opportunity to expose you with the truth. While you continue to use hypothetical situations. You are not helping families, you are using degrees to control a population of people and the children of the United States.

If you’re reading this comment, you should want to know why AFCCnet .org doesn’t show a Connecticut AFCC chapter on its chapter page.
The long and sordid “AFCC” history in Connecticut should embarrass those involved in the “AFCC” public-private racketeering.
Unfortunately, those involved in the racketeering don’t need to be embarrassed because: After dissolving their corporation, someone allowed the ringleaders to quietly “step down” from positions in the corporation. Some involved were allowed to “retire for personal reasons”. Some went on to establish nonprofit for profit “reunification camps”.
A few of the Connecticut “AFCC”ringleaders — such as the director, secretary and treasurer — still destroy children and families in the “family courts”.
The most helpful answers will answer this question:
Which individuals are currently targeting anyone demanding proper investigations and prosecutions of the Connecticut Chapter of AFCC, Inc. ringleaders?
Another question: Who in state government allowed some involved in the racketeering to quietly “step down” or “retire”?
…
Board member names are a secret?

How the entire mess started
The1996 the welfare reform law, also known as the personal Responsibility and work opportunity and Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) including several provisions that aimed to increase the involvement of noncustodial fathers with their children and their earnings.
Work activities. The law requires states establish procedures that would allow courts to order unemployed noncustodial parents to participate in work activities. (Get those stay-at-home mothers to work).
Access and visitation
States were given block grants to help noncustodial fathers gain easier access to their children.
Child support
The laws strengthen child support laws and give child support agencies more resources to establish paternity and collect payment
Temporary assistance to needy families (TANF). Limiting the amount of time participants could receive aid
The fathers’ rights groups movement is a group that advocates for fathers to have more involvement to share custody with of their children and greater responsibility for mothers to for financial support. However, critics argue that the movement overlaps with the men’s rights movement and diminishes the rights of mothers. This is being accomplished with the use of prenatal alienation.
The unrecognized and unregulated alienation industry. It’s being used to get out of paying child support and gain control of the children. Forcing unhealthy relationships in some cases. The Richard Garder theory became popular with the welfare reform laws. It’s made millions for the family court industry.
The entire family court mess is connected to the economy and generated millions if not billions for the family law industry. Is in all likelihood why no one is investigating it. As well as why the government is ignoring it.
Interesting that the FBI would want to investigate Michael Volpe, but they won’t investigate the alienation industry or these reunification camps.
When did FBI agents investigate Michael Volpe?
Listen to the Rick and Mike show to catch up on court news.

Interesting how media coverage regarding reunification programs for alienated children:
A) fail to fully present both sides of the legal cases covered;
b) fail to consider why the mothers they defend in the articles lost custody of their children in the first place (not easy to do unless they were really abusive);
C) ignores/minimizes peer-reviewed research in the field the scientists interviewed for the articles, including research showing the effectiveness of the programs and the hundreds of families they have helped;
d) labels programs as “camps” to delegitimize them and create fear;
e) fail to recognize that the professionals working on the cases are unable to comment for ethical reasons and are therefore defenseless, and why the alienated parent doesn’t want to talk to expose their children to more conflict and possible litigation by the abusive, alienating parent;
f) ignores young adults who provided false details and later retracted their false statements, the reporters publishing them anyway; and
g) promote the message we should always believe children and mothers who were allegedly abused (the alleged perpetrator not charged or found guilty), inverting the legal presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Shame on the media for being so reckless in aligning with radicals to witch-hunt scientists and professionals who are working with severely abused children (regardless of the parent’s gender).
If there are any ETHICAL reporters out there interested in investigating the shenanigans of the advocacy groups promoting this moral panic, please reach out to http://www.PASG.info

Sorry to inform you, but there are many of us who still retained custody along with people who haven’t to testify as to the unethical tactics used daily.. I’ve met some of the kindess intelligent and honest people who have been subject to this so called ” reunification therapy”. In the last few years I have been convesating with Connecticut parents who have been through the system. The slightest disagreement and off to reunification therapy the kids go. The parents are pitted against one another. There are no regulations and oversight to this unrecognized con job. The so called professional won’t comment on the rationality of reunification therapy. Because it’s a blanket applications given during family conflict during divorce for profit. . Contraindications have vanished and the original works of the theory have been twisted and contorted for large profit. You are unable to get backing from any professional organization because it’s junk science. Used and abused by so called professional who have chosen to operate in the darkness. When the public speaks out and demands help against an industry causes harm “we are bound by ethics”. It’s an excuse to allow a group of people to make money off the system. I have listened to hours of the work and belief systems of these so called experts and professional. I have heard nothing but excuses, for murder. ( Slam the gavel pod cast) ” The alienation is worse than the sexual abuse” AFCC conference in the early days. It’s an industry like criminal law. A defense attacked to family court for profit. In the last several years of the frank report I have not heard anything about the peaceful resolution of a family court cases. Where one persons relationship was not severed with the child. Alienation used for one parent to gain control. So called ” reunification” did nothing for the evidence back complaints in a case I was personally involved in. The entire ” family” was severed. Siblings relationship were severed as well as the parents. You are not helping divorcing families. You are making profit for your selves. You are assisting one person to not take responsibility for their own actions and blaming people who actually had the courage to tell the truth ( with evidence) . Your disgusting for profit industry has bypassed legitimate medical professionals with eithical standards who are really trying to help people. Importantly children.
I’m sure anyone who dares speak the truth about this fraudulent psychology will be labeled as a narrastist. Because the alienation industry is abusive and hands out bogus diagnosis to cover the entire junk science making them millions of dollars. Refuse to justify their practices. Refuse to define it. Refuse to operate with oversight and regulations. Hide in the dark and refuse to be accountable to any regulatory agency.
The united nations for one. The government doesn’t fund anti alienation. They continue to pay for self reported studies the industry is cashing in on.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail — especially if your hammer makes hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Please watch the distraction of children from their house, all because the alienation industry has bypassed legitimate ethical standards and allowed to operate without ” business” regulations and standards. All because a judge ordered it. To date the government has failed to provide an investigation or impose regulations. Probably because of Richard Blumenthal and attorney general William Tong. Looking to protect the AFCC. These are uninvestigated, unrelated business practices being protected by elected politicians. Passing out funds for self reported studies. Ignoring the United Nations keeping the money train flowing for attorneys and cherry picked psychologist.
It all surrounds Connecticut and the welfare reform act. It’s targeting the collection of child support. Rerouting the welfare funding into the state. It has absolutely nothing to do with the welfare of children. It’s a financially driven project. No one in the government is doing anything about it . Chilling people’s speech and operating under the cover of darkness.
These people are not found guilty because of criminal justice reform. The calls placed to the prosecutor’s office. The prioritizing of fatherhood over criminal matters. Every single child reporting abusive behavior is called a liar. Taken away from the nonabusing parent. Outside professionals are banished for the courts.
https://leohohmann.substack.com/p/world-economic-forum-finally-tells
All the answers are in the welfare reform act. Family court is tied to the economic growth and development of the country. “Healthy marriage” ” responsible fatherhood” . The likelihood of children support payments of children engaged with non custodial parents. Who has the financial resources to raise them and employable.
Multiple women accused of parental alienation in the state of Connecticut have been seeking a law firm to bring fraud cases against these psychologist. The attorneys involved in these cases. All effects have been unsuccessful. Attorneys across the eastern states have declined. From Boston to New York. As well as in Connecticut. The answer is your case has merit , however we don’t take those kind of cases. ” We know what is happening in Connecticut” . All Connecticut attorneys usually send these cases to Norm and his associates. To date the firm has declined to take any of these cases. Women have been attempting to bring forward a class action lawsuit. No one has been willing to take the case. No one at the attorney general’s office is willing to help. No one at the department of public health. The department of justice refers it back to the state. Going to the press has been the only available option to bring to light what is happening.
I think the lawyers will start taking the cases. They just need the roadmap, and I think that is under the consumer protection laws. There are already several cases on this theory working their way through the courts in several states. The key here is to get the insurance companies to cover the claims through the therapists’ errors and omissions insurance. I think there is an excellent shot under the consumer protection laws, as opposed to fraud, which the insurance companies can decline to cover.
Thank you for your insight. As we all know the GALs are also instrumental in the fraud practice of promoting these psychologist. Most having a long standing business relationship with these people. Any who has a lead on an eithical attorney to bring forward a case please comment. These people are causing irreplaceable harm to the public. There is absolutely no movement towards peace and resolution or child protection. It’s a conflict driven money train. Let these children off the train.
Big problem. The department of consumer protection general counsel. William ( Bill ) Blumenthal. All roads lead back to the Connecticut politicians. The trade commission. These people are not going to step out of the way in all likelihood. This is why the unrecognized hypocritical theories have not been shut down.
These psychologist are allowed to use experimental therapy. That’s part of the scam. It’s unadulterated fraud. Fraud to gain leverage in family court system. It’s a tactic the court uses because they know that if the parents are not able to access the children they don’t pay child support. In Connecticut it’s used as a tactic to drop domestic violence charges. There claim to fame the leader of criminal justice reform. Reporting low statistics for violent crimes. Sexual assaults and domestic violence. Then they place equity and inclusion tent over the projects. It’s carefully orchestrated mess.
In Connecticut, a non -offending parent can file for contempt if they BELIEVE their children have been alienated from the other parent.
Consequences
change in custody
Change in primary custody
fine or jail time if court orders are violated
A lawyer can investigate both parents (GALS) for signs of alienation. Mental health evaluations, mental health evaluation, expert witness in a condition that is not recognized by any psychological association, third party witness to parental behavior. Kinda funny how Connecticut doesn’t allow outside mental health professionals to testify on behavior only court appointed ones.
Per Connecticut parental alienation can be conscious or unconscious and is illegal in Connecticut but not recognized.
How did Richard Garder’s junk science that is not recognized run family court? Why is a hypothesis which has not real standards and regulations ruling family court cases? There is no such thing as an expert in a field that doesn’t actually exist. Exist means have being and based in reality.
It’s beyond time to banish it from the family court systems. It’s a term being tossed around in family court to distract from what is really happening in households. There are no regulations on fees. If the insurance companies can cap fees for service, so should the fees for family law. It should be a giant red flag that there are no choices. No educational standards placed upon these people. Even non licenses people hanging out the expert shingle.
Everything is operated in darkness. If the insurance companies can refuse to pay, so should the average person.
This is all junk increasing problems and generating money for the family law industry. This is all fraud created for profit and is damaging children. People need to start being held accountable. These are dangerous practices. The Attorney Generals should be held responsible for not investigating our nations family court industry.
Parental alienation became popular with the welfare reform act. Non custodial parents are less likely to pay child support if they don’t have visitation granted. It’s all written in the original paperwork. All these “experiments” are to reduce the nations arrearage. They are punishing women especially for reporting abuse because the daddy won’t take financial responsibility if he doesn’t have access to the children. Even if the access is abusive
Why are these broads allowed in the presence of children?!. If I saw the likes of these shrunken apple heads, I’d break out into hives. Can’t imagine what it would be like as a lad. Put them back in the trash where they came from.
Which broads would you be putting in the trash? In the trash like Jennifer?

What kind of people could make us do what we do?
“King of Reunification” Randy, the fraud who put “con” in controversy
He practically wrote the book on how to screw up reunification therapy. If you ever need a case study on how easy it is to get a job as a shrink—and how dumb you can be while doing it—Randy’s your guy. His story tells you everything you need to know about why we need to keep these shitscoops on a short leash. The takeaway? Be smart about who you trust with your family, plenty more Randers out there. And kids, buckle up, get to know eachother right before hatchin eggs.
“Trauma camps,” which are often used to refer to camps or programs designed to treat children who have experienced trauma, can be controversial and potentially dangerous for several reasons:
1. Lack of Professional Oversight:
Many trauma camps may not have adequately trained mental health professionals on staff. Children who have experienced severe trauma need care from licensed professionals, such as psychologists or therapists, who are trained in trauma-focused therapies. The lack of professional oversight can result in ineffective or even harmful treatment practices.
2. Re-traumatization:
If not handled properly, discussing traumatic events in a group setting can re-traumatize children. They may relive their experiences without the proper coping mechanisms, which can exacerbate their symptoms of trauma rather than alleviate them. Group settings may also prompt children to share their experiences in ways that might trigger new emotional crises.
3. Innconsistent Treatment Approaches:
Trauma requires individualized treatment plans. A one-size-fits-all approach, which is often employed in camp settings due to practicality, may not address the unique needs of each child. This inconsistency can lead to children feeling misunderstood or neglected, potentially worsening their condition.
4. Separation from Family
For many children, being separated from their primary caregivers can be an additional source of stress, particularly for kids who have attachment issues due to their trauma. Family involvement is often crucial in the healing process, and removing a child from their family environment can sometimes do more harm than good.
### 5. **Safety Concerns:**
The physical safety of children in any camp setting is always a concern, but this is especially true for trauma camps where children may exhibit unpredictable behavior due to their experiences. Inadequately trained staff may not be equipped to handle crises safely, putting both the children and staff at risk.
6. Lack of Follow-Up Care:
Effective trauma treatment involves ongoing care and follow-up. Many camps may not have adequate systems in place for ensuring that children receive the continued support they need after the camp ends. Lack of follow-up care can lead to relapse or deterioration of mental health.
7Peer Dynamics
Children recovering from trauma might face destructive peer dynamics at trauma camps. Bullying, exclusion, or negative peer influences can complicate the trauma recovery process. In some cases, children may even learn maladaptive behaviors from their peers.
8. Emotional Contagion:
Children at trauma camps may be exposed to others’ traumatic stories, creating a ripple effect of emotional distress known as emotional contagion. This can heighten their own symptoms of stress, anxiety, or depression, causing more harm than good.
### 9. **Ethical and Legal Issues:**
Some trauma camps have come under scrutiny for using unethical or questionable practices. Lack of regulation and oversight can lead to conditions where children’s rights are violated, and their well-being is compromised.
### #####10. **Lack of Evidence-Based Practices:**
There is often a lack of empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of many trauma camps’ methods. Trauma recovery is a specialized field that relies on evidence-based practices, and without these, children may not receive the most effective care.
It is often more beneficial for children to receive individualized treatment from licensed mental health professionals in a safe, controlled environment that includes family support. Mental health care for children should prioritize evidence-based practices and be delivered by trained professionals to ensure the best outcomes.
Best Interest standards are not based on sound medical practices. Best interest standards are based on the welfare reform act. The impact of welfare reform and marriage and divorce. Marianne P Bitler, Johah Geibach, Hillary W. Hoynes, and Madeline Zavodny.
The goal of the 1996 Personal Responsibility Act and Work opportunity Reconciliation act. Was to end the dependency of needy parents on government benefits in part by promoting marriage. The pre-performance welfare system was widely believed to discourage marriage because it primary provides benefits to single mothers. However, welfare reform may have actually decreased the incentive to marry by giving women greater financial independence via the work program. This paper used vital statistics data on marriage and divorce 1989-2000 to examine the role of welfare reform. (state waivers and TANF implementation) and other state -level variables on flows into and out of marriage.
Reunification therapy and junk science have been allowed in the courts for economic growth and development. There is no set standards and applications. Children are being used to further the economy.
There is no good coming from any of this.
Dr. Kyle Pruett from Yale, is from the fatherhood initiative. Started in the state of Connecticut. Dr. Marsha Kline Pruett from Smith college got 48 grants for the study of parental alienation. Is there any relationship between these two people? Self reported studies. Lots of cash and federal grants for a non recognized hypothesis.
Dr. Marsha Kline Pruett received many prestigious awards for her work in the Connecticut family court system from the AFCC. She has joined the staff at Yale. Psst. You may not want to take your child to Yale for an interview.
If you read through the 2019 strategic planning of the fatherhood initiative. Prioritize fatherhood over criminal justice. ” Go to the police” ” go to the criminal justice” Different standards for fathers then mothers. Fatherhood to take presentence over arrest. Including domestic violence. ” It’s not to take custody away from mothers” Isn’t that the whole purpose of ” parental alienation”? Child and family psychiatrist at YALE and the parental alienation industry together at Yale medicine.
Hartford healthcare is a strategic member of the fatherhood gravy train. The institute of living. Perhaps it’s time to go full force in a lawsuit against the hospitals in the state of Connecticut. The unrecognized hypocritical theories. Put the fraud on notice. Time to end the racketeering and the sale of children. Including the Connecticut hospitals.
Both have done extensive work in California. Marsha Kline Pruett has done extensive work with attorneys.
Single mother households, polosophy in Connecticut fatherhood initiative. The Georgia school shooter father gifted his son a rifle. Who gives a child a fun?
WTF is up with this article? Its up, then down, then up, then below Hague, now above Hague?
MAKE UP YOUR MIND, RICHARD!

It was a wrong button clicked on the backend. It’s all good now
Ahhhh, ok. I was curious.
Can’t we all just get along?
Well fanny, why dont ya write a book then??? ?Fanny and the Gary Cohen Chronicles. If you’re ever in need of a cautionary tale about the perils of ineptitude wrapped in an oily bologne package, just remember the name Gary Cohen.
Can anyone tell us if Linda is related to Sidney?
If so, that might explain how and why predators in government allowed her genre of torture and brainwashing for so many years.

It’s a big club.
The WEF specifically targets people with major secrets about their past to be installed as heads of governments. This gives them complete control over them.

Guess which content Alphabet Inc. removed.
Someone should call Gary Cohen and ask him what he thinks of reunification therapy/camps.
If Gary Cohen is such a upstanding lawyer, has he ever done pro Bono work? Did he tip the uber driver?. 😂
Whether a lawyer does or does not perform pro bono work has no bearing on whether the attorney is upstanding.
Gary cohen does not need to tip a Uber driver. He drives his Bentley wherever he goes.
His car and lack of charity are a testament to his character.
Wonder if Cohen and Diddy can team up together? Both with their kid sex camps. Who leaves their kid at Puffys flavor camp? Who trusts these strangers with their kids? Lads and ladies, screw the lawyers, hired gun experts. Keep the money in the bank for your kids college fund. Family court is corporate venture capitalism..vultures…parasites, evil liars cowards
Didn’t realize Paris Hilton had any interest in these issues. Powerful attention to family courts illegal separation of mother and children is long overdue.
Thank you FR and others who dedicate time and energy for parents who have been stripped of their children and all resources necessary to fight such vast corruption.
She has spoken out on camps like this. In the beginning of the Netflix documentary hell camp she is making a statement. The biggest joke is CT’s Rosa Delauro is standing right behind her. Purple hair and all. You can not miss her.
shes on the mend
These people are child abusing monsters. Kids are commodities to be bought and sold by court appointed “experts”. There is no medical basis for any of these erroneous labels and outcomes.
The bullshit of “brainwashing” is just that. Used by family court to destroy parental bonds and punish and ruin the lives of innocent children and their protective parent.
Thank you for your continued coverage.
Reunification camps are evil but the same isolation, no contact and permanent separation is ordered in family courts throughout the country- instead of the abuse being at a reunification camp the children are left at home while the parents are at an “ex-parte” hearing- where a sadistic psychologist tells the judge the kids are alienated and custody must be immediately flipped to the alienated parent.
The protective parent is given a no contact order and the flying monkey gals or court appointed therapist gets the children and delivers them to the monied parent- the abuser- whom the kids resist.
They are told to behave for their parent (their abuser) if they are ever to see their loving parent again.
And no matter what the kids do, it’ll be many years- if ever- that the kids see their loving parent again.
The brutality of family courts is incomprehensible to most- for to believe the truth- that family courts and court appointed “experts” are the most heinous criminals and child abusers is too much and too scary for most to accept.
But this is the truth.
Amen . Thank you Michael Volpe for staying the course. You have been a real champion of exposing the industry. The above statement is absolutely true and well put. I wish the parents bringing Linda to court to answer for her camps trying to enduce Stockholm syndrome success. It’s time to put an end to industry.
Oh please. Volpe, Luthmann and their dirtbag cohorts prey on vulnerable domestic abuse victims and the mentally ill to make money and get laid by playing fake heroes when the truth is they are sociopathic snakes. It’s disgusting and they will both burn in hell.
Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has them and yours really stinks.
Why shouldn’t the wealthier parent buy custody. And why shouldn’t we make money too ?
Dr Heinrich you tooo the words right out of my mouth. Our kids count too.
I’d like to buy “custody “ over you for a day, ya no good grease ball.
