Quote From: dadzritesThere are those lunatics and anti-male misandrists who claim that parental alienation is "junk science" because it is not a diagnosis in the DSM manuals, especially those from radical women's groups. Obviously they are not credible experts on the subject. If parental alienation and PAS is "junk science", then we have to include "battered women's sydrome" as junk science because it fails to include "battered men's syndrome". According to many statistical studies and government reports, battered men comprise over 40% of all domestic violence victims. In NJ, homicides by domestic violence show that 1/3 of domestic violence homicides in 2006 (42) were men (14). First, this doesn't constitute an "epidemic" that the domestic violence industry would have everyone believe, especially since these figures comport with every other state. Forty-two homicides as a result of domestic violence vs. 9 Million residents in NJ does not make an "epidemic". It accounts for .0006 percent of the population--a statistical insignificance. Yes, homicide is not insignificant, but statistically, in this case, it is.
Tourette's Syndrome was not considered a diagnosis for almost 100 years. Would it be considered "junk science"? How about fibromyalgia, which many in the medical and mental health community were dismissing in the past, but are now coming around to its reality. Parental alienation and PTSD is like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and inflicted emotional distress. It is real, even though it may be in a separate category than returning war veterans suffering PTSD. One could consider it a form of PTSD caused by the court system that is anti-male. It could be construed as "battered legal victim syndrome".
I suffered PA and PAS caused by my ex-wife's false accusation of domestic violence (which in West Virginia court studies on false allegations has declared that over 80 percent of DV accusations are false), which I found out she was advised by her attorney to file, and caused my children to be alienated from me. I haven't spoken to my twin daughters (now 26) in over 14 year as a result of my bi-polar disordered ex-wife who has had 3 husbands. Her recent boyfriend moved into her house 2 weeks after her 3rd husband died--kind of suspicious, don't you think?
If anyone would like to debate me on this subject, I would gladly put them in their place.
The last time I tried to debate someone such as you this is what I had to read:
Sheesh, give it a break and log off. Give some **** next time and you might be able to keep a man!

These men (and women) were trying to verify the validity of PAS/PA and show how joint custody is best. There are many studies which show in conflicted marriages/divorces taht joint is NOT best. Please take a look at Liz Kates' site (she was the lawyer on this show). Read through her WHOLE site. You will see where these men come from and what their beliefs are. Liz has spenbt countless hours collecting this info to present it to the public. This is not made up info. She has the emails, IP addies and more cooroborating info to back up all her claims. And as far as studies are concerned, I could find one that will show only 2% of all sex abuse claims are false, and the rest are founded or unfounded. Just because a charge does not result in jail tiem does not mean it is false. My ex has this same problem. If we were to have a trial today with all of the witnesses available who had eveidence of abuse, he would be in jail right now. This does not mean that I falsely charged him although he would say that.
So in answer to your question, I will not debate you because I refuse to be subjected to the abuse I was subjected to at the parade website.
(Original Air Date: 10/03/08) It’s being called the ultimate form of child abuse -- brainwashing your children against an ex-spouse to win custody. Could you be harming your child emotionally and not even know it? First up, Ken is a successful surgeon who says he’s the victim of parental alienation syndrome (PAS). He says he hasn’t seen his 14-year-old son since last October and claims his ex-wife destroyed what was once a loving father-son relationship. Mel Feit, director of the National Center for Men, says Ken’s situation is a classic case of kids being turned against their father, but family law attorney Liz Kates says PAS is a phony tactic used by some men to get out of paying child support. What does Dr. Phil think? Then, Karen lost custody of her children after she was accused of parental alienation syndrome by her ex-husband. Karen maintains her innocence, so why were her parental rights terminated when her daughters accused her ex of sexual abuse? Plus, 19-year-old Demi joins the show via Web cam and says her father verbally abused her mother during their divorce. Now, she fears that her 15-year-old sister is caught in the middle. Find out what you can do if you’re caught between sparring parents. And, meet a father so desperate to see his young children, he kidnapped them from his ex-wife and went on the lam for two years. Talk about the show here.
