Canada Infested With Parental Alienation Profiteers
Two cases are hitting the news involving Parental Alienation in Canada. One where a mother is being banned from seeing her teenage daughter for a year, and another case where a teenage boy is attempting to RESCUE his brothers from these unethical parental alienation doctors.
B.C. court bars mother from seeing daughter for more than a year
Teen enters brainwashing battle to seek brothers’ release from parents
Canada has a large number of Parental Alienation Professionals who for a price will go after the custodial parent in an effort to change custody, dragging the children thru hell. Many of these professionals are associated with the Canadian Symposium on Parental Alienation Syndrome (CSPAS), and/or the AFCC.
The British Columbia case inflicts severe Maternal Deprivation on a teenage girl. Anyone doing this IS emotionally abusive, and BMLCTA believes the mother when she is saying the father is emotionally abusive to the daughter. This ruling is PROOF that the father, who must be well-off financially, inflcted abuse using the legal system to repeatedly attack this mother and child, 17 times according to the story, and ultimately inflicted this DEATH BLOW. BMLCTA prays for this child and hopes that the mother reads this article and will appeal this horrible ruling. Justice Donna Martinson and attorney, Jessica Ko have been added to the Hall of Shame for this abuse inflicted on this teenager.
B.C. court bars mother from seeing daughter for more than a year
Published Monday March 9th, 2009
VANCOUVER, B.C. – In a case of extreme parental alienation, a mother has been banned by a B.C. Supreme Court judge from seeing her teenage daughter for more than a year.
Because of the urgency of the matter, Justice Donna Martinson issued the terse, two-page ruling outlining 15 conditions the parents must follow, including that the mother, known only as Ms. A, not see her daughter until at least March 31, 2010.
The decision came after the mother alleged extreme emotional abuse by the father, which she claimed was putting the teen’s safety at risk.
“I am satisfied that Ms. A’s allegations are unfounded,” Martinson wrote. “I am further satisfied that she has continued to undermine the relationship between M and her father and has acted in ways that are detrimental to M’s psychological healing.”
Names have been stripped from the court ruling to protect the girl’s identity.
The judge has ordered that both the mother and maternal grandmother have no contact with the girl, which would be enforced by police if necessary.
The court has also ordered the mother to pay $320 per month for the girl’s counselling, on top of the child support she is already paying.
Jessica Ko, the lawyer for the girl’s father, said it’s been a gruelling road for the dad who has been in court 17 different times to gain access to his daughter or defend himself against the mother’s allegations.
“It went to the point where our client was essentially bankrupt from defending himself and pursuing this legal matter,” said Ko.
She said the father is in a highly respected profession and should be able to recover financially.
Ko said the ruling banning the mother from any contact with the child was extremely unusual, because often the court attempts to find a balance in access between the parents.
“This is a case where there was found to be an extreme example of parental alienation by the mother towards the father.”

In the second case, a teenage boy is attempting to rescue his younger brothers from the horrific situation created by the Parental Alienation Profiteers. Please note that the Father has custody in this case, and it is the Mother who is claiming to be parentally alienated. BMLCTA does believe that Maternal Deprivation is harmful to children, but does not ever condone the tactics employed by these Parental Alienation Profiteers, whose true goal is to make as much money as possible on the case regardless of the harm they inflict on the children, and also BMLTCA does not believe in coercive therapies, or removing children from homes where they are happy regardless of whether the custodial parent is the Father or the Mother.
Hopefully this teenage boy will be successful in his rescue efforts for his younger brothers. This young man is a brave soul with a big heart, and he should be commended for his efforts. BMLCTA wholeheartedly supports Jeffery Wilson’s statement to file a lawsuit against the treatment center and hopes that he reads this post and checks out the Rachel Foundation Lawsuit against a similar PAS center. A immediate stop needs to put to the use of this Junk Science called Parental Alienation Syndrome.
Teen enters brainwashing battle to seek brothers’ release from parents
BRAMPTON, ONT. — JUSTICE REPORTERAn 18-year-old asked a court yesterday to let him rescue his brothers from the clutches of psychiatric deprogramming therapists and “incompetent” parents battling for control of their children.
The young man injected himself into the parental alienation case after his brothers – aged 12 and 14 – were bounced from a hospital psychiatric ward into a foster home in December because they refused to participate in a court-ordered therapy program.
The therapy, ordered in November by Ontario Superior Court Judge Francine Van Melle, was aimed at exorcising poisonous thoughts toward the mother that their controlling father had planted in the boys’ minds.
Judge Van Melle granted the mother sole custody and authorized her to force her sons into a deprogramming clinic.
The court heard yesterday that, after the boys refused to go along with the deprogrammers, the mother had them returned to Toronto and committed to a psychiatric ward at St. Joseph’s Health Centre.
A child psychiatrist at the hospital, Nagi Ghabbour, quickly became convinced that the prospect of forced therapy had turned the boys potentially suicidal. Dr. Ghabbour said in a letter that the boys felt “trapped in the legal system,” and were filled with a sense of helplessness.
Dr. Ghabbour urged an immediate end to any further psychiatric assessments or forced therapy, and called on the Catholic Children’s Aid Society to seize the children to forestall any further attempts by the mother to deprogram them.
Yesterday’s hearing was to decide whether the eldest brother can intervene in CCAS proceedings to place his brothers in long-term foster care.
“I am not enmeshed in this dispute,” the youth said in an affidavit. “Unfortunately, and tragically in a way, for my brothers and me, whatever I do is seen as a cancerous outgrowth of my dad, and so no progress can be made.”
The youth’s lawyer, Jeffery Wilson, said that a point has been reached where the well-being of all three children is threatened. He also told Ontario Court Judge Steven Clark that his client’s plan to raise his brothers on welfare – augmented by support payments from their parents – is feasible, “especially against the backdrop of two parents who have been largely incompetent in providing stability to the children.”
Mr. Wilson said that the youth views parental alienation deprogramming as “voodoo science,” and that he is prepared to launch a lawsuit to stop further treatment if necessary.
However, Marvin Kurz, a lawyer for the mother, maintained that the woman’s ex-husband is using her eldest son as a puppet in an attempt to get his two youngest sons back, or else, “put them in perpetual limbo.”
“What he has done is take up his father’s sword and shield to enter the battlefield on behalf of his brothers,” Mr. Kurz said. “If he is granted leave [to intervene], they will turn this case inside out.”
Mr. Kurz also denigrated any idea that the boys were mistreated at the deprogramming clinic. “They weren’t drugged,” he said. “They weren’t tied down. There is no point having them there, with their eyes closed and their fingers in their ears.”
The mother argued in an affidavit that if her eldest son is permitted legal standing in the case, “it will send a message to his brothers that they, too, can attempt to manipulate the court system to avoid orders such as that of Justice Van Melle.”
She said that her eldest son has been so brainwashed by her ex-husband that he refuses even to greet her when he sees her in court. “It is a great shame that my son, so intelligent and bright, is unable to live his life like a normal teenager,” she said. “He should not spend all of his energy fighting his father’s battles.”
In an interview, however, the 18-year-old blamed his mother for the relentless domestic tug-of-war.
“My brothers were taken forcefully and exposed to this [deprogramming] concept – which is a pretty strong method,” he said. “Most of the time, I have to convince myself that all of this is real. I think about it as being someone else’s life – because it doesn’t seem like it could be happening to me.”
The startling chain of events highlighted a growing controversy over parental alienation and the therapies used to reverse it. A handful of U.S. therapists have touted their deprogramming clinics in Canada, resulting in at least three judicial treatment orders.
The parents of the three boys, who were raised in Eastern Europe, split up nine years ago amid a flurry of accusations that each had abused the children.
Ruling against a motion to shut the courtroom to reporters yesterday, Judge Clark remarked that, “without wanting to be flippant, there is little further risk to the children.”
He reserved his ruling on the eldest son’s motion.
