Official Statement on Parental Alienation Syndrome From The American Psychological Association

——————————————————————————–
The American Psychological Association (APA) believes that all mental health practitioners as well as law enforcement officials and the courts must take any reports of domestic violence in divorce and child custody cases seriously. An APA 1996 Presidential Task Force on Violence and the Family noted the lack of data to support so-called “parental alienation syndrome”, and raised concern about the term’s use. However, we have no official position on the purported syndrome.

The American Psychological Association (APA), in Washington, DC, is the largest scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States and is the world’s largest association of psychologists. APA’s membership includes more than 150,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students.

I firmly believe that as soon as they come up with a pill for PAS they will immediately add it to the DSM and immediately begin drugging everyone involved.

Court orders 10 year old girl to see dying father within 28 days.

In an extraordinary Family Court judgment, the girl – who has said she wishes that her father would die – was instructed to see her father who is dying from liver cancer and has up to 12 months to live.

The girl, who is almost 11 years old, lives with her mother and has not seen her father since late 2003.

The mother has an intense hatred of the father and doubts that he is ill, despite doctors’ statements that the man has inoperable cancer.

An expert told the court that if the father dies without he and the child being able to say goodbye, the child will come to regret this later in life when she has emotional independence from her mother and “has had time to reflect on the appalling way in which she was drawn into the conflict between her parents”.

Justice Le Poer Trench said he had agonised over the decision but felt the child should be given an opportunity to see her father.

A court officer will supervise the once-a-month visits and determine their duration.

It was also suggested to the father that he might write a letter to the child and make her a DVD to view in the future should she want to learn more about her father in the future.

He said the mother was one of the most extraordinary people he had ever seen in his court, and that she was apparently devoid of compassion for the father.

He was concerned that the girl probably had some level of fear of her mother and said the child wanted to belong to her new family, including her mother’s new husband and child.

I invited a family court attorney from Mobile, Alabama to get listed on our website SplitnTwo.com. I saw his advertisements and he seemed like an honorable man. He looked at the website and sent me back a rather nasty message telling me that PAS doesn’t exist and its not reconized by any court in the nation. I wondered havng been involoved in the family court system for 30 years, surely he has witnessed PA several times.

Does anyone else still believe Parental Alienation Syndrome doesn’t exist?

Hello to all who have asked about the show. We will be back on the air on Febuary 20Th at our regualr time 9pm EST.

I will attempt to show why Parental Alienation is not just the parents of the alienated
child’s problem. I have some stats I want you to consider.

Children without the benefit of both parents are….

• 4.6 times more likely to commit suicide,
• 6.6 times to become teenage mothers (if they are girls),
• 24.3 times more likely to run away,
• 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders,
• 6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institutions,
• 10.8 times more likely to commit rape,
• 6.6 times more likely to drop out of school,
• 15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenager.

AND – compared to children who are in the care of two biological, married parents -
children who are in the care of one parent are:
• 33 times more likely to be seriously abused (so that they will require medical attention), and
• 73 times more likely to be killed.["Marriage: The Safest Place for Women and Children",
by Patrick F. Fagan and Kirk A. Johnson, Ph.D. Backgrounder #1535.]

What does this mean?
Recently a young evangelist who regularly visits a local prison and talks to inmates at Sunday Morning Service’s told me of his experiences there. He asked for a show of hands of the people there.
“Raise you hand if you had a relationship with both of your parents.”

Three inmates raised their hand. He told me there were approximately 60 people in the room. That means that 95% of the inmates in that room were not raised with the benefit of having both parents in their lives. Not a scientific survey but I would think this is about right for the entire prison system.

The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate, and total documented prison population in the world. As of year-end 2006, a record 7.2 million people were behind bars, on probation or on parole. Of the total, 2.2 million were incarcerated. More than 1 in 100 American adults were incarcerated at the start of 2008.
The total cost of the prison system in America is an estimated 60 billion per year. The prison system is totally supported by your tax dollars. The crimes committed by these prisoners are against you the people of this country. Immeasurable damage to the welfare of your family and this country is being done by the crime in this country.

Who are these criminals? Sadly from the stats and the personal account of this evangelist an overwhelming majority are the kids that do not have the benefit of being raised by both parents. When one parent is pushed out of a child’s life the chance that they will be affected by crime, either the victim or the assailant, is too high to be ignored any longer. When these kids grow up and end up in prison the usually leave behind emotionally scarred kids of their own with no direction and not much hope for a normal life or future. A generational curse is perpetuated in these cases.

We must band together and educate the people about this issue so, “We the People,” will bring these concerns to our politicians in the masses.
