Parental alienation

From Background Briefing ABC Australia
The anger and hurt of divorcing parents often spills over into custody and access to children. Accusations of child abuse are defended with claims of lies and alienation using Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) resulting in the accusing parent losing custody. PAS has been discredited in America but there's concern that it's still being used in the Family Courts of Australia. Reporter: Jane Shields
