Thank you, Chair.
Thank you so much to our witnesses here today.
Obviously, this is some very deeply upsetting testimony that we've heard as we study coercive control. It has been a kind of sidebar for me personally, about parental alienation and reunification camps, which I'm learning more about and which I think a lot of people don't know about.
It's also pretty timely for a lot of people who are pop culture folks watching Netflix, if they're watching The Menendez Brothers, as a lot of young people are. I see you guys shaking your heads.
Tina, your testimony that nobody believed you were abused is pretty shocking. That's a very shocking story and shows how far we've come in that time frame to now believing young men are capable of being sexually abused.
I think it's timely to reflect on the notion that you don't know what you don't know. There are a lot of people who truly do not understand coercive control, as was the case in a lot of that.
I want to start with Ms. Mercer. You have done some incredible research, and thank you for the work you do.
These psychologists and therapists are mandated by the courts and receiving funds for these therapy programs, these reunifications. Who's mandating the qualifications of these therapists? Who's overseeing that?
