End parental alienation now!

Many families are negatively impacted by parental alienation. One parent manipulates his or her children into eventually turning against the other parent. The alienating parent enlists the help of others by telling them alternate facts. These other people are family members, friends, the children's doctors, teachers and other school staff and caregivers.
Many alienated parents are not just excluded from their children's lives, but are virtually erased from existence. The alienator manipulates the children (and everyone else) into believing that the other parent is neglectful, irresponsible, mentally ill and/or possibly dangerous.
Even though these accusations are unfounded and the alienator provides no proof, people believe them. What is worse is that the courts believe the lies.
The courts side with the accuser. They don't require any proof and award custody to the alienator. This enables and encourages the alienator to continue and strengthen his/her smear campaign. This is done by repeatedly going to court with more false accusations.
The alienated parent is left broken of heart and spirit. Many give up the fight. Many don't see their children for years or ever.
What is worse is the children who are left broken. They are told that one of their parents, a part of themselves is bad. "Mommy doesn't want you anymore." "I don't want Daddy to hurt you.".
This is abuse. Children who have lived through parental alienation grow into adults who are more likely to abuse drugs, get in trouble with the law and attempt suicide.
This is child abuse and it needs to be against the law. Courts and their psychiatrists need to be able to recognize it. I believe there should be a law that requires judges and therapists to take a special course so they will be able to see when parental alienation is being perpetrated and then deal with the individual situation accordingly.
