The Challenges to Child Reunification Programs is really the means with which the courts are kind of taking a step back, listening to different sources of information, and misinformation with respect to how we intervene when it's found that children may be brainwashed. And extremely so where children may seem to show an unrealistic and unfounded and sudden detachment from one, if not both, of their parents. But it's typically when a child is in a custodial parent's home, and family court being heard for remedies and remediations.

Norwegian practitioners and co-hosts of the 2024 PASG (PARENTAL ALIENATION CONFERENCE IN OSLO) discuss the serious challenges to uprooting alienating impacts by parents.

Join this conversation hosted by Dr. Mark (Roseman) and Dr. William Bernet, MD, President and Co-Chair of this effort.

Speakers are leading authorities of mental health practice in Europe and candidly discuss the value of legal challenges and mental health interventions.

In this special episode, Dr. William Bernet speaks against the special report submitted by Reem Alsalem to the Human Rights Council on Parental Alienation. And the fact that this report is not based on actual statistics or science but mostly on opinion. Dr. Bernet pleads with individuals around the world to contact their government's ambassadors to have this report struck down and furthermore requests that the Human Rights Council pay attention to the actual reports and journals out there written by the professionals in the field on the issue of Parental Alienation.

Every state in the U.S. criminalized custodial interference decades ago, which means, it is not a civil matter. Yet, each day hundreds of parents request assistance from Law Enforcement because their child has been taken or withheld by the other parent, in violation of a court order. Although it is law, officials refuse to assist the victims of this crime. Respectfully, I urge support for the enforcement of interference with child custody.

Refusing to return a child to the other parent for their court-ordered parenting time is Custodial Interference.

• Parental abduction is a severe form of Custodial Interference.
• Between 2016 & 2020 only 23% of abductors had state warrants issued against them.
• Less than 1% of abductions are by strangers.
• 10 months is the average time between a child missing date and issuing of a warrant.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's Family Abduction Prevention and Response (2009), instructs parents - “If you encounter law enforcement who are reluctant to intervene in your case, it may help to show them the passages below:

We also now recognize children are deeply and permanently affected by family abduction. The emotional scarring caused by these events requires officers to recognize family abduction not as a harmless offense where two parents are arguing over who ‘loves the child more,’ but instead as an insidious form of child abuse. By responding promptly, professionally, and efficiently to reports of family abduction, officers and the agencies they represent become, in effect, a means of protection for the child.” (P.44)

Annually, this crime impacts thousands of families. We desperately need your help, as the Criminal Justice System, responsible for enforcing laws and protecting the public. Reporting this crime is not a civil matter and our children need protection. Please join us to lend your support, ask the elected officials to implement the necessary training, create appropriate policy and enforce the law of custodial interference.

In the Criminal Justice System’s Response to Parental Abduction the Department of Justice describes Custodial Interference as “a serious maltreatment needing investigation AND prosecution” explaining the need to “develop and implement policies for this crime.” As it is “harmful to the well-being of children and their families,” it is time to stop the alarming rate of victims who are refused their right to justice.

We discuss a couple of Tik Tok videos of CPS removing children from parents after entering the home what appears to be illegally. And actions that could have made things go better for the children and parents and State Agencies involved.
