The belief system of 'parental alienation', where a child's dislike of a parent is attributed to the 'brainwashing' of the other parent, is deeply problematic.
One way it is super problematic is that it is adult-centred, & ignores children's own views. Longš§µ

When a parent alleges they've been 'alienated' this often (though not always) comes to dominate the narrative about what's happened.
Professionals & communities often don't stop to ask the child with a genuinely open mind - 'what's happened?'

But there are so many reasons a child might not want to see a parent.
Their parent might be: emotionally cold & uncaring; unpredictable & volatile; stressful to be around; dull & not much fun for a child.

Earlier this year, @KCProsecutor released a first-of-its-kind data dashboard that provides public access to data regarding the types of crimes referred to our office and the cases filed:
kingcounty.gov/depts/prosecutā¦
kingcounty.gov/depts/prosecutā¦
We partnered with a number community groups, criminal justice system partners, and academic experts to gain an understanding of their needs and concerns, which informed data collection methods and the development of the dashboard.
By partnering with @TheUIHI, we hope to advance equity & social justice principles by improving data collection and analysis for American Indians & Alaska Natives.

Did you see how many Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) happen in the NFL each year? 281!
Holy cow. That's awful.
And as shocking as that is, it's WAY worse in the military.
Our soldiers experience 18,000 Traumatic Brain Injuries each year. 18,000!!!

Wanna guess how many women have Traumatic Brain Injuries each year because their violent male partner beat them up?
1,600,000.
That's right: 1,600,000 TBIs for women each year from intimate partner violence (IPV).
