I wish there was some law that could be started or passed regarding her behaviour, much like the Amber Alert. Something. Anything. There seems to be no recourse for her abuse of Ioan, Bianca and the girls. This article struck a chord. They speak to addressing Parental Alienation with a sense of urgency. And they speak to consequences. I hope there is a group lobbying for change The article is from Psychology Today (not like a Harvard study, but it has a great suggestion):The trouble is it never seems to come her way.The Abuser manages to slide away from the consequences of her actions and behaviour every time.
The court plays potentially crucial roles. Initially, family courts may need to remove severely alienated children from all contact with the alienating parent. They need to transfer full domicile and decision-making to the targeted parent in order to allow the child a phase of safe time and space to rebond with the targeted parent without fear of retribution from the alienator.
The court also may need to stipulate that subsequent alienation behaviors will incur serious penalties such as extended the period of time when contact between the child and the alienator is not allowed, issuing fines, and even imposing jail on repeat offenders.
Again, responding to alienating behaviors with URGENCY is imperative.
