Judges send children to U.S. quacks, expert charges

Centres aim to treat parental alienation

 

Parental alienation centres in the United States are using unproven "quackery" to deprogram children ordered into their care by well-meaning Canadian judges, a leading Ontario child psychologist has charged.

Peter Jaffe says the programs may even damage children by destroying overnight their primary support bulwark: the alienating parent whose care they have been under.

"It is not a good thing if a child has bonded to an alienating parent, but disrupting that child and pulling them away from whatever sense of security they have may end up being more harmful than good in the long run," said Dr. Jaffe, a professor at the University of Western Ontario in London.

"When you're going to provide a treatment, you have to know what the unattended consequences or side effects are," he said. "You may be solving one problem but creating a whole host of new problems."

The deprogramming issue erupted last week after a Toronto judge forcibly removed three girls from their mother and sent them for treatment to a U.S. centre in an undisclosed location. It was at least the third time that an Ontario judge has taken the extreme measure in the past year.

The parental alienation centres, which operate in relative secrecy, in part to avoid surprise visits by angry parents searching for children who have been seized, is to be debated at an Ontario Bar Association conference today.

Dr. Jaffe said the spate of judicial orders runs counter to a laudable trend of granting children more rights. "It really doesn't matter whether you are sending them to a locked ward of a hospital somewhere in Pennsylvania or you are sending them to Disneyland, I think it's a significant infringement on their rights to take a Canadian child and force them to enter a treatment program in the U.S."

Sol Goldstein, a Toronto child psychiatrist familiar with the U.S. programs, said they typically devote four or five days to intensive discussion, visual presentations and "logic and kindness," to prod alienated children into critical thinking. He said children also have opportunities to spend relaxed, recreational time with the parent from whom they are estranged.

"Nothing can change like that within a week," Dr. Goldstein added. "It's like doing major surgery. The follow-up is crucial."

Donna Wowk, a Toronto family lawyer, agreed that while securing time away from the parent who caused the alienation "is critical" to successfully treating a child, relapses are a major risk. "You can have great counselling sessions, but as soon as they are back with the alienating parent, it's all undone," she said.

Toronto family lawyer Harold Niman, who represented a non-custodial parent whose children were recently sent to a U.S. parental alienation centre, conceded that much remains unknown about the treatment.

"There is no doubt this is uncharted territory," he said. "To a certain extent, we don't know where this is all going to lead, but I think it's like chicken soup. It can't hurt. It is something designed to be therapeutic for the children, and I can't see how it could hurt.

"Part of what is going on is an effort to find a solution to a very difficult problem. We are talking about a very, very narrow group of parents and they are almost invariably dysfunctional. These are parents who are toxic people."

Dr. Jaffe said that if the Ontario family court system were less dysfunctional, children at risk of being alienated from a parent would be identified and treated early.

"I'm not criticizing the judges," he said. "I understand their degree of frustration. But these cases really are a monument to the failure of the system to intervene early.

"There are bits and pieces in place in Ontario, but nobody is really in charge of the system," Dr. Jaffe said.

Commentary by the Ottawa Mens Centre

Ottawa Mens Centre.com, from Ottawa Capital of Male Gender Apartheid, Canada wrote: Jaffe's habitually sprouts feminist doctrine so frequently he loses most if not all of any credibility he might otherwise have. His views are regarded as pure quackery by any victim of Parental Alienation Syndrome. Peter Jaffe's dislike for father's is blatantly obvious as is his scant regard for the best interests of children. His offensive degrading opinions are almost entirely feminist propaganda that needs to be recognized for what it is, pure unadulterated words of hatred. His opinions are quoted by the extreme feminists who have no use for father's other than sperm donors and child support payers. His opinions promote family destruction and dysfunctional parenting not to mention the phrase he hates the most, Parental Alienation Syndrome www.OttawaMensCentre.com

Ottawa Mens Centre.com, from Ottawa Capital of Parential Alienation, Canada) wrote: Peter Jaffe would have the children's "primary support BULwark, remain with a chronic child abuser. Peter Jaffe fails, completely fails to mention that Parential Alienation Syndrome can be more damaging than childhood sexual abuse, and Jaffe is effectively promoting that children be left with the parent found by the court to be a perpetrator of the some of the worst form of Child Abuse, simply because he is obsessed with promoting the views of extreme feminists, that have as a centre of learning, Queens University located in Kingston, home of several extreme feminist judges who grant mother's almost any crazy order requested. and who engage in prolific and obvious Parental Alienation.

Readers should carefully note, that Peter Jaffe fails to mention the harm that Parential Alienation Syndrome causes. Instead Peter Jaffe says "the courts should intervene early", a court that he knows is riddled with extreme feminist Family Court Judiciary where an objective impartial court is the last thing a father is likely to find. Its a refuge for mothers who have no hesitation in engaging in the very worst forms of child abuse, Parental Alienation Syndrome. In other words, Peter Jaffe suggests a solution that he knows is not a solution to the problem. Peter Jaffe knows that Parental Alienation Syndrome is often only dealt with after hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation that only the wealthy can afford. Many children grow up to have similar personality disorders, as their parent male or female who engaged in Parental Alienation Syndrome. Peter Jaffe's publications are regarded by most victims of Parental Alienation Syndrome as a promotion of hatred towards men and in this case, also mothers who are victims of Parental Alienation Syndrome. Child abuse is child abuse weather it be childhood sexual abuse or what is often even worse, Parental Alienation Syndrome. www.OttawaMensCentre.com

Lets get it right, Peter Jaffe is a rampant feminist, his years of publications are obviously feminist propaganda, amazing stuff coming from "a Mr." let alone "a Dr."

Child abuse is Child abuse, Parental Alienation is well documented as sometimes being more damaging than Childhood Sexual Abuse, and here Peter Jaffe is, telling us that this abuse, is better than removing the child or children from this abuse?

Peter Jaffe has as usual shown his true colours in his writing, its a wonder that such a highly qualified person is unable to use his brain and realize that readers can very carefully read a lot about him from what is written and what is not written in his posts.

I'd like to remind our Family Court Judges that most cases have as their route cause, a mental health problem and or a personality disorder by one or both the parties. Statistics dictate that women have those problems 5 times that of men, it clogs up at least 95% of the litigation. If our Family Court Judges wish to reduce case load, it is very important that mental health assessments be ordered at the earliest opportunity. Many of these mentally ill violent mothers who engage in chronic Parental Alienation tell the court that it is the father who has the problems, and you allow feminist lawyers to apply a reverse onus, you frequently order fathers into draconian orders specifically designed to terminate a child's relationship with their father to satisfy a feminist lawyer backed up with propaganda from the likes of Peter Jaffe.

The only solution is a Legal Presumption of Equal Parenting after separation and real policing for judicial complaints. www.OttawaMensCentre.com

 

Peter Jaffe mistakenly believes that a mother's fertility, ability to reproduce, give birth is somehow a trump card when it comes to family court litigation.
Child Abuse, one of the worst most damaging, more than sexual abuse is Parental Alienation Syndrome. Our feminists need to understand that little girls who grow up without a daddy are at high risks of developing identical personality disorders as their mother who most probably was "damaged goods" as a result of her own childhood abuse.

The multiple generational problem of child hood abuse can generally only be solved by placing sole custody with the father absent evidence that this is not appropriate.

The root solution is a Legal Presumption of Equal Parenting After Separation and in particular, legislation to deal with separations. Presently, Mothers planning Parental Alienation, simply flee with the kids and refuse to allow dad any contact, and lay fabricated criminal charges to create a bias, prejudice and status quo. The only solution is that "Absent a court order" both parents shall have equal time with the children from separation and any failure to abide by that will entitle the other parent to an emergency motion on short notice.

The problem at present is, courts due to the lack of an equal parenting assumption, are swamped and courts refuse to have "emergency hearings" absent an extreme physical danger.

Don't expect any changes or improvements soon.

Judicial Tip #2 for today. Our courts are clogged from the very tip of the top to the bottom lowest form of life, that self represented male asking for access or responding to a summary motion / restraining order / security for costs / vexatious litigant, you know, those low former of life called father's who dare to ask you to have empathy for their child's right to have a relationship with their father.

Most of the Parental Alienation is done by a parent with a serious personality disorder, often highly skilled, highly qualified , semi professional actors with a great deal of support in the way of resources. Most of those parents who engage in this form of Chronic Child Abuse are women, with serious personality disorders, often its a combination of a mental health problem and a personality disorder and any variation and combination between.

Throw in a judge with a disgusting propensity to flagrantly abuse judicial discretion by granting nasty mothers total control and you have probably guaranteed one or more future generations of dysfunctional people who grow up with their parents personality disorder.

Peter Jaffe, if he really cared about children would be providing the court with reliable solutions to an obvious problem created by Extreme Feminists and a generally corrupt feminist judiciary who stoop at nothing to make draconian orders against those they don't like and exercise their revenge for these sorts of public statements that they don' t like. Interestingly, good judges don't give a vermins rear about these comments, they agree with them and sit there with a large smile on their faces, they have to work with the vermin who rely on the "eXpert dribble of feminist deliverers of propaganda.

Lets cure the cause, Parliament needs to legislate a mandatory presumption of equal parenting, children with equal time stand half a chance of recovering. www.OttawaMensCentre.com
