Well, as the reality checks continue to bounce......I sit here in utter confusion and disbelief. I continue to see articles on the effects of internet porn and the victimization of children; new rules and wanna be laws for spouse abuse; All kinds of info on male spouse abuse; abuse in the work place; elderly abuse; Even animal abuse. Save the seals, save the dolphins, save the lobster.......And yet, PAS, PARENTAL ALIENATION is NEVER included. Is this going to be another thing that will be swept under the rug??? Are the holes in the sand already dug, so people can hide their heads and ignore this??? Of course people are hiding...doing the quick hush hush on the issues. Why add another burden to an already over burdened situtaion. If these people would get their act together, and include ALL of these abuses as ABUSE and list criteria for each, so that it would be more easily recognized........ If you pay attention to the politics of our society, it seems children are expendable. Our society is allowing this..... Have we, as a nation, come to the point that any kind of abuse is allowable, as long as it is not recognized by some so called professionals?? Are these abuses ignored because no one has bothered to make up a list of recognizable criteria for someone to signal out?? THESE ARE THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY........poor poor kids.
