Cases involving Parental Alienation, by their nature, involve the vilification of one parent by the other. In such cases, one parent is falsely accusing the other parent of some serious parental misjudgment ranging from being emotionally abusive and neglectful, to being physically abusive, to being pedophilic. All of these accusations are put forth for the purpose of gaining advantage in the custody dispute.
Such allegations are used to justify why the child should not be with the accused parent, but should rather be with them. Consequently, when parental alienation is present, the targeted parent has been unjustly accused of something that they did not do.
When this occurs, elements within the system that are designed to protect children – Child Protective Services, Department of Children and Families – come into play and intervene for purposes of protecting the child from any such possible danger. It is precisely these parts of the “System” that are then exploited by the false allegations that are present when parental alienation is present.
It is important to realize that these protective parts of the “System” are typically public agencies, funded by public monies.
As public agencies, the personnel who are assigned to evaluate the veracity of these allegations, are typically overworked and under trained. Most forensic experts would agree that performing evaluations to determine the likelihood that a child was truly abused or molested, are perhaps the most difficult and complex evaluations that exist.
It should not be surprising then to realize that when alienating parents orchestrate a false allegation of abuse, that such exploitation, with evaluators who are truly not qualified to evaluate what they are assigned to evaluate, are easy prey.
This defrauding, manipulation and consequent involvement of the protective agency, possibly also including law enforcement, is a common element in these cases that often separates a parent from a child, when no danger is in fact present.
This duping of such agencies which are designed to protect, corrupts them into becoming a force that ironically assists in the alienation of the child from that falsely accused parent. This is not the fault of the individual overworked and under trained agency worker, but the result of the “System’s” vulnerability for such exploitation. Some how, the Court is assigned with the task of sorting all of this out.
