Protective Makua

In the current family court system, when a protective parent reports in**st or abuse, perpetrators use the junk science of parental alienation in order to “rebut” reports of domestic violence or in**st. By doing so, perpetrators initiate a discriminatory procedure that results in the removal of the protective parent’s custody rights for reporting these crimes. In the vast majority of cases, the pr

otective parents are mothers. Because of parental alienation junk science, third-party investigators (1) presume that the protective parent is lying or “coaching” the child to lie; (2) blame the protective parent for not complying with the duty to uphold “frequent, meaningful, or continuing contact;” and thus, (3) establish, without due process, that the protective parent has failed to act “in the best interest of the child.”

“In 2004, a total of 917 intentional false allegations were designated out of approximately 3 million reports involving 5.5 million children, or 0% according to the report (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2006).”
