Taking away a man's children is inhumane.

BELLEVILLE ~ A former police constable is hoping to raise awareness about parental alienation
– a form of abuse that can have devastating impacts on children.

Miranda Orr, a former police officer in Belleville, recently joined Parental Alienation Awareness Organization — a group that aims to educate the public and professionals about prevention of, and responses to, parental alienation, according to their website. 

The act refers to the alienation of one parent by the other — typically going through a separation or divorce — through manipulating the child or children involved in the family. The behaviours generally involve the mental manipulation and/or bullying of the child to pick between one parent or the other.
“This is happening in our community, children across the globe are experiencing this,” 

said Orr Monday.





“It’s actually a huge, growing phenomena. Children develop all kinds of self esteem issues, depression is a common one.” 

These behaviours can also result in destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent. 

The organization, based in Toronto, works to create awareness in the courts, with judges, lawyers, police officers and children’s services.
As explained on the PAAO website, parental alienation and hostile aggressive parenting deprive children of their right to be loved by and showing love for both of their parents and extended family. It can occur in intact families, but is mostly seen in separated and divorced families.
Orr joined the organization about a year ago. Through her lengthy career as a police officer she witnessed various forms of emotional abuse


She decided to get involved after realizing many people are not aware of parental alienation and do not know that it is a form of emotional abuse. 

To help increase awareness, she is working on organizing an event this April. 

April 25 is recognized as Parental Alienation Awareness Day. On this day, people are encouraged to take part in “Bubbles for Love” by blowing bubbles for 10 minutes at noon, to recognize parental alienation and the affected children. 

Locally, Orr, along with an organizing committee, is hosting an event on April 10 to make bubbles available to those interested in doing a Bubbles of Love day. 

“We will be doing a family fun barbeque, we’ll be have a petting zoo, bouncy castle. We’ll also be handing out cases of bubbles to companies, organizations, or schools that want to participate in Bubbles of Love.
The event will take place at West Zwick’s Centennial Park Lions pavilion from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

Orr has created a Facebook page, Bubbles of Love Day Quinte, where people can find information or contact organizers.

Support Circuit Court Judge Lisa O. Gorcyca - Contact Denial Parental Alienation is Child Abuse

The research on divorced fathers is clear about their most pressing need: their continued meaningful involvement with their children, as active parents. The lack of recognition of this primary need is the main reason for therapists’ lack of success in engaging alienated fathers.

Stop Emotional Child Abuse - 2015

Support Judge Gorcyca - Parental Alienation is Child Abuse - 2016We applaud this judge for taking a stand against Parental Alienation and dealing with an abusive mother.

The complaint accuses Gorcyca of misconduct in her handling of the case and for making false statements to the commission in response to its initial inquiry about the long-running case involving the three minor children of Maya Eibschitz-Tsimhoni of Bloomfield Hills and Omer Tsimhoni of West BloomfieldSource: Bloomfield-Bloomfield Hills Patch

Child custody disputes can be very stressful. In cases of parental alienation in divorces, one parent repeatedly presents a negative view of the other to the child, so that the child no longer wants to spend time with the other parent. Such actions destroy the crucial parent-child relationship rather than strengthen it, and the child ends up suffering as a result,"

Declaration of Family Rights

That when a Child is born...

both biological Parents have a right to know.

A Child has a right to both Parents in their lives.


Fit Parents decide what is in the 'best interests' of their Children.


Good, average, and poor Parents are Fit and Equal Parents.


That you and your spouse have a right to be presumed Fit and Equal Parents (equal in terms of both physical and legal custody). 



If anyone (a spouse, relative, social services) wishes to challenge these rights, you have:

1) The right to counsel.


2) The right to be presumed a fit Parent, innocent, and deserving of an equal relationship with your kids.


3) The right to protection of a criminal jury. The "state" needs to prove you were a demonstrated serious and intentional threat to your Child's safety and that you acted with mal-intent towards your Children.

The Broken Custody Court System - Is there Reason for Hope?

THE THREE-RING CIRCUS

Dear Honorable  Judge (all Juvenile Dependency Judges, future Judges and Presiding Judges),

I have some thoughts that you need to hear, I am expressing this by and through my United States Constitutional Right to FREE SPEECH.

If anyone reading this has an opinion and would like to comment, that is also YOUR RIGHT, so exercise it!


Now, I wish I could say that you are simply ignorant. I wish I could say that you are being manipulated and coerced into doing what you do. Sadly, I cannot say either. The truth is, you are fully aware of the horse-and-pony show which performs daily in your “courtroom”. I have estimated that your 3 ring circus has almost 10,000 shows a year at each Courthouse in Riverside County. That would be a total 30,000 “hearings” annually in which families’ rights are being violated, perpetrated against, falsely accused, manipulated, coerced, improperly represented, denied their right to confront witnesses (the anonymous caller especially) and denied due process that is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

Parental Alienation is either a form of domestic violence or on the continuum of domestic violence behaviors


Parental Alienation Videos - YouTube Playlist 

DSM UPDATE - While the terms; Parental Alienation or Parental Alienation Syndrome did not make it into the DSM IV, not all is lost. Instead, what you will find is a discussion regarding the 'Child/Parent Relational Problem' where the discourse surrounds the cognitive issues of the problem that have the potential to include; "negative attributions of the other's intentions, hostility toward or scapegoating of the other, and unwarranted feelings of estrangement." According to Dr. William Bernet, one of the proponents for the PA language inclusion, "That's a pretty good description of a child's view of the alienated parent. “ At the very least, what has been acknowledged here is the conditions that must be present for alienation of one parent to occur. This is similar to what Dr. Craig Childress calls the 'parental alienation dynamic'. Same/same. All it really amounts to is the DSM IV acknowledging that these behaviors can lead a child to have cognitive problems of feeling 'unwarranted feelings of estrangement' towards what we call the 'target parent'.

Guys With Kids (Important Discussion):
We only support organizations who show an understanding that children need both parents, and that either parent is equally capable of the choice to perpetrate hate or declare peace.
The International Access and Visitation Centers conference was held in Toronto last month.


PAAO was there and spoke to most of the 200 or so practitioners. Of course all were familiar with alienation and it's results. Everyone was not only gratified to see PAAO at the event, they all also acknowledged that PA is either a form of Domestic violence or on the continuum of Domestic Violence behaviors.
