Learn how misguided judges take children away from the protective parent and put them in the care of the person the children have named as their abuser. See how abusive fathers use their children to control and punish the mothers, and how judges unwittingly help these abusive men use the court to perpetuate the abuse. Learn the truth about a discredited theory called Parental Alienation Syndrome, that judges, custody evaluators and law guardians invoke to deny that abuse is occurring, and learn about state laws that force judges to make decisions that put abused women and children at risk.
Fighting the "Hidden American Disgrace"
of Court Abused Children
We, the
Courageous Kids Network, are a growing group of young people, whose childhood was shattered by biased and inhumane court rulings, which forced us to live with our abusive parent, while restricting or sometimes completely eliminating contact with our loving and protective parent.
Some of us, whose mothers tried to protect us from abuse, did not see our mothers for years, or were only allowed to see our mothers under oppressive supervised visitation orders. We were not allowed to hug our mothers, or talk about how we felt. Some of us were separated from siblings, grandparents and extended family. We lost our home, pets, toys, friends, & our childhood. We lived in fear, depression, hopelessness and helplessness for years. Some of us ran away from our abusers. Some could not handle the trauma and committed suicide.
We who survived, got older and stronger. Now we are telling the world how much we were hurt, first by our abusers and then by the court that refused to protect us.

Child Abuse Experts Applaud Legal Community for Rejecting
Parental Alienation Syndrome
July 12, 2006 Bala Cynwyd, Pa. People who care about abused children finally have something to celebrate. Two recent high profile legal publications have rejected _ Parental Alienation Syndrome _ (PAS), a controversial label often used to discredit allegations of child abuse or domestic violence in family courts. According to PAS theory, children's disclosures of abuse by one parent are reinterpreted as evidence of _ brainwashing _ by the other parent. The solution proposed by PAS theory is to immediately award custody to the alleged child abuser.
The newly revised, 2006 edition of "Navigating Custody and V |
my many sisters-and all our children, those who have fallen and those who still stand, being brutalized daily, weekly, year after year- by a system that is supposed to protect, the Courts continue to punish battered mothers and our battered children. United we carry forward the unheard cries of our children.
