Let's Get it Right


Make no mistakes..

Just to be Clear Karen

Karen Woodall is concerned.  She wants to make it clear that nothing in her proposed model for the pathology of “parental alienation” was derived from AB-PA.  I haven’t read her book yet.  I’m still on vacation in Oregon.  I’m sure her book will be waiting for me on my doorstep when I get home.
So Karen, I just wanna be clear on this, you’re saying that there is nothing in your current book that you derived from AB-PA?  That’s what you saying, right?  That you incorporated nothing from AB-PA into the model for the pathology that you are proposing we use, right?
It is entirely 100% you – that’s what you’re saying, right?
This is the model you’ve been using and developing and proposing for the past 25 years, right?  Nothing from AB-PA.

Colin Gillies went on trial at Aberdeen Sheriff Court last year, facing 20 charges.
They included assaulting three women and a child to the danger of their lives at properties in Inverbervie, Aberdeen and Turriff.
The offenses happened between 1990 and 2014.
A jury found him guilty of 18 of the violent offenses after deliberating for less then two hours, and the case was referred to the High Court in Edinburgh due to its severity.
And yesterday, judge Lady Carmichael jailed the 52-year-old for at least 39 months – but warned there was was no guarantee he would be released after that.
She placed him on a lifelong restriction order, which means he would only be released from prison if it was deemed safe to allow him to.

Awareness Becomes Control


Exposure is inevitable!


Superb article from Anne Wade which joins many dots in Rochdale and beyond. She shows the value of unearthing abuse from years ago and the effects it is still having today.

Should old and dead paedophiles be left in peace? By bringing out detailed stories of historic childhood abuse we may give relief and justice to survivors, but do we benefit the rest of the community? Or does this engage resources that are better applied to current abuse? Is there any harm in simply saying the past is past, and putting all our energy into how we treat children in the…
