Coercive Tactics That Undermine Connection
When a child is gradually turned against a safe parent, it often isn’t due to a single event, it’s the result of repeated, coercive tactics that distort perception and erode emotional bonds. These behaviours can include denigration, loyalty demands, information control, emotional manipulation, and interference with time and communication.

Demand legislative action! Parental alienating behaviours must be officially recognised in Australia, aligning with global standards. We call for robust legislation that not only acknowledges its presence but unequivocally prohibits it. Act now for change!
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.

Parental Alienating Behaviours
are Child Abuse & Family Violence.
This serious form of abuse and family violence can no longer be ignored. Parental alienating behaviours must be acknowledged in Australia as it is in other parts of the world. We need legislation that not only acknowledges its existence but firmly and clearly legislates against it.
