"Parental Alienation is the outcome of a process where a child's relationship with one parent (the targeted parent) is negatively influenced by the actions of the other parent (the alienating parent). The child's rejection of the parent occurs in the absence of a reasonable justification for the rejection."

Call for legislative change
Parental alienation behaviours must be acknowledged in Australia as it is in other parts of the world. We need legislation which not only acknowledges its existence but firmly and clearly legislates against it.
In our effort to protect children from physical and sexual abuse, we cannot ignore the hidden suffering of children who are manipulated to take sides in their parent’s disputes.
