Domestic Violence vs. Parental Alienation: Who’s right and who’s wrong
Article here. Excerpt:
'Ever since the term “Parental Alienation” was defined by Richard Gardner in the 80's, and it began being used in child custody disputes, advocates for Domestic Violence and women’s groups and some family lawyers purport that Parental Alienation is junk science and is damaging to the family court cases.
Father’s rights groups on the other hand, advocate for its existence and claim that women are the majority of perpetrators.

Yet innocent children are taken from a loving parent and sent to an abuser on daily bases by our family courts, due to false accusations of Parental Alienation and Domestic Violence. Why is this happening in today’s society, where we have all sorts of technology and access to information on a variety of media sites?'
