Parental Alienation Syndrome to be highlighted on ABC’s 20/20

Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by admin in Brainwashing

20/20 show on parental alienation syndromeABC News’ show 20/20 will be featuring a segment this Friday, with a brief appearance by Dr. Richard Warshak, the foremost author and psychologist on parental alienation syndrome, aka “children brainwashed to hate a parent.”

From Dr. Warshak‘s site,

I expect this show to have a major impact in educating the public about the suffering of children who have been turned against a parent, and about what can be done to help ease a child’s transition back to a rejected parent.

The segment will be anchored by 20/20 reporter Chris Cuomo. This topic, mental child abuse, is vastly misunderstood by parents, therapists, judges, and lawyers alike, so I’m excited that it will be in front of a national audience. Dr. Warshak is the foremost authority on parent-child alienation, so ABC did great in choosing to interview him.

The segment should air in the first hour of the 2 hour show (9-11pm EST).

I expect this show to have a major impact in educating the public about the suffering of children who have been turned against a parent, and about what can be done to help ease a child’s transition back to a rejected parent.

    I was recently massacred in a custody battle for my 6 year old daughter.

    The following is a modification of what I posted on
    http://www.courthouseforum.com/forums/popupcomments.php?judge=141042&classify=0&sbg2svamck4in04b2q8o14amt1

    Convicted child molesters have more access to their children than I do.
    I am completely alienated from my 6 year old daughter.
    All calls and letters are intercepted, and I have no visitation.
    The mother completely alienated her older children from their father for 15 1/2 years in the same way.
    Judge Stovall punished me with over 20% child support, + attorney fees as child support.
    She inconsistently ruled on motions, laws, or rules to favor the mother.
    My lawyers repeatedly complained that she favored the mother.
    For 3 years, I pleaded for a trial or in some way, to present a case.
    Despite 3 years of hearings, Rule 11′s, hundreds of emails, letters, and conversations, Judge Stovall refused to compel the mother to provide discovery, yet granted the mother 4 trial continuances; twice on the grounds that her discovery was incomplete; one of which was a preferentially set trial.
    She disregarded over 3 years and over 300, exhibited, provable charges of Contempt of Court against the mother.
    I paid the jury fee and insisted on a trial, which never came.
    When I received a copy of the Final Decree, it was significantly different, even opposite, to what had been read into the record.
    I refused to sign and adamantly insisted on a trial but Judge Stovall signed the settlement that she knew would totally alienate me from my daughter.
    Perjury, forged letters, falsified evidence, unsupported, inconsistent, and unchallenged false accusations, by the mother, CPS, et al., outweighed exhaustive undisputed facts, certified evidence, sworn statements, and objective/testable/verifiable documentation disproving the accusations and proving neglect and abuse by the mother.
    Even with the mother’s sworn statements of medically abusing/neglecting my daughter and with the doctors corroborating records of her mistreatment, Judge Stovall took my daughter from me and placed her into her mother’s sole custody.
    For months, pediatricians and specialists examined, x-rayed, diagnosed, and ordered treatment for my daughter, but the opposite diagnosis of an undereducated CPS worker prevailed over the professionals, with Judge Stovall.
    The CPS investigator lied and falsified evidence.
    The mother continues to deliberately, medically mistreat my daughter’s diagnosed medical condition(s), neglects her dental care, and the high risk lifestyles exposes my daughter to diseases.
    For over 1/2 of my daughter’s life, she has been left in her mother’s violent and abusive home.
    Depositions, CISD records, Sworn statements, and other Certified and Certifiable evidence revealed a home with an AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT FELON, wrist CUTTING, daily VIOLENCE, runaway teen, destruction, criminals, drug abuse (METH, COCAINE, XANAX, OXYCOTIN, etc), frequent police visits and a SEARCH WARRANT confiscated drug paraphernalia, multiple sex partners, multiple suspensions for drugs and violence, burglary, vandalism, shootings, disease, fighting, screaming, profanity, pornography (including BEASTIALITY), boys and men sleeping over, taking my daughter to sleep at men’s homes, and so much more.
    My daughter is taught obscene language and gestures.
    The mother provided SEXUALLY VIOLENT material and entertainment to her criminal teen children since they were young.
    The well paid mother has lived rent and utilities free for 3 ½ years but is deep in debt from undisclosed medical bills.
    My fees and expenses have exceeded $200,000.
    I will never, ever, ever give up trying to rescue my daughter.
    Can anyone please help my daughter?
    ==
    I can provide:
    the CPS investigation reports of drug abuse and more
    the psychological evaluations
    depositions
    CISD records
    police reports
    myspace entries
    emails to the
    ad litem
    psychologist
    therapist

    I have recorded nearly every contact with the mother, CPS, and many others.

    Please help my daughter.

    Follow the money. There are too many judges that are influenced by campaign contributions. One such judge I’d Judge Dan Obrien in Oakland County Michigan who awarded custody to a father who physically abused his child and held the mom at gun point with a loaded 9mm handgun.

    I read this article with great interest. I have encountered a judge in Harris County, Texas who also covered for an amicus (who is a very close personal friend) with her negligence in a molestation of a 12 yr old girl. Judge David Farr then “awarded” this amicus $47,000 of the $50,000 he took to pay for a camp in Maine design for “alternative” lifestyle kids of gay / lesbian nature. In addition to the $47,000 given this amicus, he also gave her an addition $38,000 for attorney fees. The cost of the camp was $1,500 per child, leaving a bill of $3,000 from the $50,000 for the sake of the children. The remainder was given to his attorney friend. Judge David Farr also sided with parties who would, without objection, pay large sums of money to those attornies whom he favored. Also, to those who contributed to his campaign fund. Finally, Judge David Farr may have falsified his military service with the Texas National Guard claiming to have served with an active duty Army unit, the 3rd Amored Cavalry regiment, in Kosovo. No records, orders, or attachement orders exist per the TNG Inspector general Office and State Adjutant General. Having the lowest rating of all Family Court Judges, David Farr lost the last election, but is again running for election to the 312th Family Court in Houston. Unable to obtain clients, David Farr volunteered for an IMA position in Iraq, while awaiting time to campaign for a judgeship. Thisis what our counrty has come to, unethical “good old boy”, pay me now, judges as is David Farr.

    Richard: u have no idea what you are talking about…Judge Farr served with me at Camp Dobol in Bosnia during SFOR 7 with the 3/3 ACR (Thunder Squadron) and I know received both a medal and OER’s that reflected his service to the Regiment of Mounted Cavalrymen. The TXARNG unit that he was with mobed under 3rd ACR and he was TACON to that unit so no attachment orders would have ever been cut.
