Allred vs. Tong--Is Parental Alienation Syndrome
a Father's Rights Hoax?
The
high-profile Bridget Marks custody case in New York has
put the gut-wrenching issue of sexual abuse allegations
in custody battles in the headlines, and Marks has become
a cause celebre for many feminists. In that case the court
determined that Marks had coached her four year-old twin
girls to claim that they had been sexually molested by
their father, and judge Arlene Goldberg switched custody
from the mother to the father. False allegations of sexual
abuse are an important part of a pathology dubbed "Parental
Alienation Syndrome," wherein one parent tries to
turn his or her children against the other parent.
Feminists
assert that Parental
Alienation Syndrome is a father's rights hoax--"junk
science"--which unscrupulous fathers use to wrest
custody from decent, loving mothers. The father's rights
movement sees PAS is a damaging epidemic--one which family
courts usually turn a blind eye to.
Gloria
Allred is America's most prominent feminist attorney. Forensic
consultant Dean
Tong is the author of Elusive
Innocence: Survival Guide for the Falsely Accused,
and is one of America's foremost experts on false accusations
of sexual abuse. Allred and Tong will debate Parental Alienation,
false allegations of sexual abuse, and the Marks case on His
Side with Glenn Sacks on Sunday, June 27. To listen
