Why is this important? Child abuse comes in all forms. Sadly, in the state of North Carolina they think it is ok to let children be emotionally, verbally, and socially abused and let the guardian doing this type of abuse impunity to further damage the child's psyche. PAS IS VERY HARMFUL TO CHILDREN, and they get scared of making mistakes and most of all...........they are taught to hate the other parent. And when it is in full circle, the child will speak to the other parent with hate and say they never ever want them near them. It is despicable, it is sick, and, most of all........IT MUST STOP!
