From our level of interaction, I can see where that would be, because we have heard that. However, directly from our kids, it's about not wanting to hurt mom and/or dad. In our cases, we do have a variety of children who are dealing with parental alienation issues. They're afraid that, if they say something to dad or to mom, the other parent might get mad at them, and they might get in trouble for that. Directly from what we hear, it's not regarding removal. It's more about hurting their parent they're mostly not with.
