In my experience, whether it be CAS or police, these attitudes that stem from parental alienation have really infiltrated all of those institutions. I have had police officers say to me dismissively, we don't think anything happened. Did you want something to have happened to her? I've had them try to get me to agree with them that without saying anything, somehow energetically, maybe I was the reason for her fear.
We've been through multiple CAS investigations, but the threshold to verify those concerns is so high that they understand that there is something going on and they'll acknowledge that, and she is able to articulate, at eight years old, even the spit that hits her face when he's screaming in her face. She has repeatedly disclosed and named it as abuse. They do not listen to the child.
There is such a high threshold. They say that we don't have any physical.... Where is the bruising? I need a time. I need a date. She talks about it like it's happened, but we don't know when exactly, and we need the exact time and date to verify.
