severly alienated child

[Mark1968]

If everything you're stating is true.

I would call CAS.

CAS won't do a damn thing. Also... It's really not that easy to comment on people who aren't here on the forum, speaking for themselves.

[standing on the sidelines]

Arent all the members here with 1 sided stories? And why wouldnt the cas do nothing about it if a child is thought to hate his parent and saying it publicly?

yes it is one sided stories on here but you are asking a question where you are not even one of the two involved.

If the parent in question has proof then call CAS and see what they say.

I would suggest that the parent read the book divorce poison.

Also document the statements they are saying. once they have several documented statements (I'm guess they are from Facebook or email).
then they can show how a child 6 or 7 is making statements they should know anything about. Then can then take that to CAS, or court to seek a change.

Given your own legal woes, it's thoughtful of you to have sympathy, but you should focus on the obstacles and hurdles that you must overcome and not whoever these people are. It seems you are adding an extra burden of worry onto yourself, in doing so. Just my observation.

[standing on the sidelines]

its obvious you do not like either parent so where are you finding out your information from??

Like Hadenough said, focus on your own legal shit for right now. Let the father and mother of that child work it out themselves.

I met with my lawyer Friday and he told me of a case he has where the mother trumped up charges against the father. (My lawyer's firm focuses on men's rights. I didn't realize this at the time when I retained him.) Child protection services has investigated and cleared the father. Three separate psychologist reports recommend father not be denied access to children. Lawyer and father have even offered gradual access. Mother still refuses father access. My lawyer mentioned that when it comes to child custody Alberta is archaic compared to Ontario. The investigating 3rd party are private companies - not part of the provincial government (as I had thought).

Depending upon what province your friends live in, the access/custody process could perhaps be fueling the PAS.

BTW, once the father visited or sent gifts to his son, and he was so happy but the mother got afraid he might wish to visit his dad and took action.

So, he has had some contact but very minimum. Why has the father not gone to court to address this? Why has he let this gone for so long?

It is obvious you are clearly affected by this case, and perhaps can see some similarities between your case and his.

But should you contact the CAS? I do not think they will do anything because it is not a child protection issue per se. Yes, I agree it is emotional harm but they will not intervene unless there is clear evidence of the child having behaviourial problems at school that may be related to what is happeninig at home. If the child is not exhibiting any such problems (which would be surprising) given the extreme situation "you describe," then there is no reason for them to step in.

[standing on the sidelines]

The dad is not involved at all. I doubt he is trying to get any access. The point is this kid is being poisoned by his mom by making a monster of his father.

you really do not know what is truly going on between those people so its best to stay out of it. Has either asked for your help?? How do you know them??

[Moolight]

More do you how much the child himself is adding to the story, the fact that the child would publized may indicated an attemp to actually get his parents attention. Who knows really and I do not beleived as been outsider without evidence that you are in position to call CAS.

You might just make the matter worst.

[standing on the sidelines]

you need to butt out of it. You have no first hand knowledge of what is happening in that dynamics.
