A post by James Franklin on the UK forum of Parents Against Parental Alienation (PAPA). He references a BBC piece, New guidance on ‘parental alienation’ in family court battles. An extract from the BBC piece:
“Wednesday’s report from the advisory Family Justice Council says “despite the lack of research evidence, and international condemnation, reference is still made to the discredited concept of ‘parental alienation syndrome’.”
This is the idea that children show a recognisable pattern of behaviours if they have been manipulated by one parent against the other.
The guidance describes this as a “harmful pseudo science”.
It says there are genuine cases where alienating behaviours “impact” a child’s relationship with the other parent, but they are “relatively rare”. “
Lies, all lies.
You could be excused for believing the benign-sounding “Family Justice Panel” is concerned with family justice. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s a resolutely radical feminist body which exists to drive feminist policies with regards to families, notably to remove fathers from them, and deny fathers and children access to each other. We posted a piece in 2019 – during the term of a Conservative government – which starts:
“William Collins recently published a piece concerning the Family Justice Panel, a body consisting of 11 members – 10 of them women, including radical feminist academics, a senior executive from Women’s Aid, and a male High Court judge who takes guidance from Women’s Aid.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
Hi Mike, I saw this myself and was disappointed. I just wanted to say though just before I stopped posting on twitter (as it was at the time) a LOT of women were lobbying against the people who were downplaying the issue of parental alienation, it is something that obviously affects women too although at a much reduced rate compared to men. The reason I am mentioning this is those vocal women may somehow try and challenge this. I have to be honest I have never looked into the issue too much because selfishly it has never happened to me, I am a bit reactive that way. But I know it is a HUGE issue,destroys the relationships between parents and children and by design affects far more women than men. But I remember it being a huge issue at the time and I even think a campaign to have London “Victims” commissioner Claire Waxman was being considered,but then the issue seemed to go underground. All I am saying is a lot of people will disagree with this guidance including some professionals in the legal and social services field,and a lot of very angry and very vocal women. I hope they rise up again, we may not have heard the last of this one.
Regards
Dougie
