While we are delighted to hear the excellent news that the Arizona state legislature is taking steps to oppose the imposition of the dangerous court-imposed intervention “treatment” referred to as reunification therapy, this so-called treatment of reunification therapy has been identified by the UN Council on Violence against Children as a form of torture and mind control imposed by abusers to assert obedience and undercut resistance of subjects of abuse.
However well-intentioned this excellent bill to subvert the imposition of reunification therapy, it is a challenge to litigants in family courts to evade this form of imposition of a vile form of intervention.
Undercutting the ability of the public to be safe from this imposed form of control and manipulation imposed by courts is the presence of Arizona state licensing boards that license incompetent, characterologically impaired so-called professionals that under state license are able to compel reunification therapy under cover of being state licensed therapists.
The Foundation for Child Victims of the Family Courts has on numerous occasions confronted the Arizona state licensing boards about their readiness and willingness to greenlight practices of individuals who are the subjects of numerous very serious complaints for their behavior toward their clients, behavior that has included child molestation during sessions with children isolated from their parents behind locked doors and forced into submission to engagement with these so-called professionals under threat that unless the children conformed to engagement through these so-called therapists, they would be forced into full isolation and custody of the abuser from whom they were seeking protection.
We have named and written about a number of these predatory practitioners, and yet the attorneys who have represented them have lied on behalf of their clients, lied in documents that were brought to the attention of the Arizona state board and documented via the meetings of accusers before the licensing board. Testimony of witnesses and parents to abuse were either blocked or overruled by board members. Direct complaints against the behavior of practitioners who were subject to police reports were disregarded. Those professionals and clients who were providing testimony against the practitioner were attacked personally as well as being disregarded.
The Foundation is continuing to review complaints against Arizona practitioners and licensing board actions, with the intent of bringing specific cases that are fully documented to the attention of the state legislature as well as reviewing civil rights actions to be brought against these licensing boards on behalf of children harmed and protective parents deprived of the ability to protect their children.
We are aware of other states as well, Connecticut and New York, that protect abuser professionals who lie under the radar of family court corruption sponsored by judges who are under the impression that their authority is inviolate.
All forms of fraud and corruption and abuse of power can be and are being challenged by the attorneys and experts associated with the FCVFC. It is unfortunate that the wheels of justice grind slowly, but not to a halt. Our voices will not be silenced, and our litigation is mounting and moving forward, as will be the subject of ongoing publishing on this website.
