Parental alienation is one of the most complex, and damaging dynamics in family law and child protection. It is child abuse.

When a child is weaponised in adult conflict, standard legal and therapeutic approaches often fall short. Protecting these children requires specialised knowledge, combining psychology, clinical assessment, and legal strategy.

To bridge this gap, the National Centre for Child Protection is hosting a specialised Parental Alienation Course designed for both legal/mental health professionals and affected families.

Who This Course Is For:

Family Law Attorneys, Advocates & Mediators: To navigate high-conflict litigation and evidence based legal procedures.

Mental Health Practitioners & Social Workers: To accurately assess attachment disruption, psychological splitting, and false allegations.

Parents & Family Members: To maintain healthy communication with resistant children and build emotional self-regulation.

Key Clinical & Practical Focus Areas:

Attachment Theory: Differentiating genuine contact refusal from induced alienation.

Diagnostic Severity: Categorising mild, moderate, and severe alienation dynamics.

Evidence-Based Interventions: Therapeutic and legal strategies that focus on child safety and reunification.

Course Details:

Start Date: September 2026

Format: Online Classes

Registration & Inquiries: [email protected]

True child protection requires informed action. Equip yourself with the clinical and legal tools to make a difference.

The voice of the child was one of the key topics of discussion at the 12th Annual Family Law Conference hosted by Clarks Attorneys. The conference was held in Johannesburg from 30 to 31 October 2025. The conference was attended by judges, legal practitioners, social workers and psychologists.

Section 7 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005 isn't just a list for the courts; it is a roadmap for every social worker, legal professional, and child protection advocate in South Africa.

When we talk about the "Best Interests of the Child," we aren't just looking at the present, we are looking at the child’s emotional security, their cultural heritage, and their long-term development.

Understanding these factors is crucial for parents, educators, and practitioners alike.

Do you know what Section 7 says?

Let’s keep advocating for decisions that don’t just "solve" a case, but actually protect a future.

Did you know that UN standards entitle maximum-security prisoners to at least 1 hour of outdoor time daily?

In contrast, the average modern teenager is spending up to 9 HOURS AND 24 MINUTES online every single day. That is more than a standard workday, and more time than many adults spend on screen. This is a global issue, but a crisis in South Africa.

During the school holidays that number increases to over 12 hours per day.

This "Digital Cage" is more than just excessive screen time; it is a direct design choice by social media companies.

The landmark March 2026 verdict in Los Angeles found Meta liable for the first time for a user's social media addiction. The jury ruled that features like "infinite scroll" and "autoplay" were engineered to be addictive, leading to the compensatory damages we listed in our impact summary.

We must protect our children's mental and physical health.

The 5 Points of Impact of excessive screen time:

1. Dopamine Dependence & Algorithmic Loops
2. Anxiety, Depression, & Body Dysmorphia
3. Nature-Deficit Disorder & Vitamin D Deficiency
4. Heightened Vulnerability to Online Grooming
5. Reduced Physical & Cognitive Development

Join us in demanding a safer, regulated digital environment.

Hired Guns: The Professionals Who Built Careers on Destroying Families

No alienating parent operates alone.

Behind every successful parental alienation campaign stands a carefully assembled team. Family members and friends who swallow every lie and carry it forward, the flying monkeys.

And professionals who trade their ethics for a fee, the hired guns. "Litigation by ambush" or "engineered" abuse claims as a form of severe emotional trauma for the child.

Attorneys. Social workers. Psychologists. Mediators. Counsellors. Therapists. Advocates. Men and women who once took oaths, who carry titles earned on the backs of those who wore them with honour, now weaponised against children and the parents who love them. Their only aim is to convince a Magistrate, Judge, the Family Advocate, police officers and statutory social workers of their narrative. And they will lie, cheat and steal to get that done.

Sometimes they sell a story so bizarre, that even the best director would decline the alienating parent and their team’s fantasy, that alienated parents and children live as real life.

John 10:10 says it plainly: “the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy.” That is precisely what parental alienation does. And these professionals know it. They have always known it. Their names appear in case after case, across courtrooms and complaint files, because alienation is not an accident for them, it is a business model.

Contempt of Court, makes them feel powerful. Their clients give instructions that they fine tune into years of litigation and millions in the bank. The alienators think that the letters or reports their hired guns produce are laws and orders. They convince therapists to write reports on therapy. They state false allegations as facts.

They ruin good parents financially. They attack other professionals and experts that will not help sell their narrative.

Your child's pain funds their holiday homes and luxury cars.

That ends now.

Lines have been drawn. And on this side of the line, we do not merely talk, we act.

If a professional has acted unethically in your case, you have a right and a responsibility to hold them accountable through their regulatory body:
Attorneys — Legal Practice Council (LPC)
Social Workers — SACSSP
Health Professionals / Psychologists — HPCSA
Mediators — SAAM or their registered body
Magistrates — Magistrates Commission
Judges — Judicial Service Commission

File your complaint in writing. Stick to facts. Reference their Code of Conduct, Scope of Practice, and applicable legislation. Use the word "allegedly" and appropriate, disciplined language. The board or body you complain to, cannot decide your case, but they will look at the conduct of the professional that is their member. We have found that most of these regulators do not appreciate their profession being dragged through the mud.

Here is why this matters beyond your case.
The same names keep appearing. The same tactics. The same script. One complaint can be dismissed as a disgruntled parent. Seven complaints with unique file numbers cannot.
Stop complaining and step up. They are denying you contact with your children, access to courts, issuing irregular orders, weaponising contempt proceedings against innocent parents.

Please note, we do not condone any abuse and we are there to help healthy and safe parents.

Every professional who escapes accountability because parents chose to vent around a braai instead of filing a complaint, is a silence that is deafening to the next child these hired guns harm.
An alienating parent will think twice if an honest attorney or social worker says no to their alienation instructions.
If it acts like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.

Stop talking about the duck. Report the duck.
These professionals are not untouchable. Their Boards, their Bodies, their Regulators, these institutions still house professionals who are proud of what those titles stand for. Give them the paper trail they need to act on. Honest, truthful and fair.

The courts do not appreciate contempt of court orders.
The complaints stack. The evidence builds. And those hiding behind credentials they have long since dishonoured will find there is nowhere left to hide.

We have decided to make the fight against parental alienation personal.
We can no longer watch blindly as children are being abused for the amusement of the alienating parents and the hired guns they fund and the flying monkeys that created the alienators.
Not only do we commit to educating the very people that need to protect our children, we will continue to build a team of professionals that share our passion to protect children against this evil and we will start a fund to cover the costs of the cases we can take on.

Write to us about your love for your children, by allowing us to help you with the compliant process.
