If this can happen to Sinead O'Connor and her son every family is at risk. Family courts and Child Welfare around the world must be changed to be more empathetic to parental and Child needs, including and perhaps especially Canada. I for one, will do my share to see this happen.

This happened to me in 2019. My son was 11. He will be 14 this year. If you ask my son he will tell you that I didn't want him anymore. That is what he has been fed by his father. He will not listen to me. His father has rewritten his memories of that day and I cannot get him to even understand that his father was not there. I was trying to protect him from himself. He kept trying to run away. I asked his father to help me and his father refused. It got ugly. I forced his fathers hand to help me and then his father launched a custody battle full of lies and used my mental health against me.

My son will never live with me again because his father has him believing those lies to this day. Family court dragged out for 2 years. They sent me to 2 psychiatrists, they destroyed my life. I've had to piece it back together on my own and accept my fate.

I finally get to see my son once a month and half of each school holidays but only if my son wants to. His father works hard on him not wanting to.

Sadly, Sinead experienced alienation which had a massive impact on her mental health, driving her to complete despair. And now we see the devastating impact it had on her son's mental health. Growing up without the love and support of his mother. Being led to believe his mom was unstable and an unfit mom, when in fact her behaviours were from the trauma not seeing her son. Such a tragic story for both of them.

Children services and corrupt family courts are guilty of murdering many children they claim to be saving.

Thank you for sharing this. My heartiest condolences to Sinead. This is so sad and heart breaking. I am going through the same things where the residency was swopped and was given to an abuser and now my children are being abused. Children are very young and don't want to show their emotions or want to raise any concerns because int eh past whenever they concerns were raised to professionals, children were being shouted at things were twisted that mother coached the children. The system is broken completely

Heartbreaking. I understand the emotional turmoil experienced by Ms. O'Connor since both my children were given to their and my abuser through the court. My daughter attempted suicide, for which I didn't learn very much after the fact when she was 15. Trauma bonding with the abuser will determine the future of these children's lives. I was made an incomplete quadriplegic from the father. My son has rationalized the abuse stating it isn't as bad anymore, it is just every other week when I happen-stanced upon him in April 2018. He was 18 years old. My daughter was suspected to be sexually abused years prior to the break-up of the marriage, his arrest for assault of me, with doctor documentation indicating I brought it to the doctor's attention. This was used against me. All evidence, including medical and psychological, was thrown out of the court so that the case couldn't be appealed and the judge could make whatever finding he wanted. All through the trial the judge stated I believe him not her. Again, all evidence was thrown out. I believe it is time to hold the courts accountable. It is also time to start testing all positions of authority that make decisions about people's lives be tested for abnormal psychology and need for power and control. By eliminating the problem where it stands, justices, police, social workers, surgeons and so on... is the only way this system will change. There also needs to be an independent overseeing committee for judiciary, police, social workers and anyone again who has the authority to make life decisions of another person. My sympathies to Ms. O'Connor. It is tragic. It is senseless. Most importantly it was avoidable if these creatures who like to control others were eliminated from being able to do so in the first place. It is abuse, continued misogyny, and a venue that enables the most egregious beings to destroy the lives of others.

This is so gutwrenching - its incomprehensible. If only the world would wake up and help the children who are being abused by the system and denied their fundamental human and civil right to have a family life with their parents and to choose which parent they want to live with if they are not together. My heart is with you at this time.. May God help you through.. R. I.P. Shane.. 💔Broken

I am so sorry to hear this, its utterly heartbreaking and impossible to put into words having been through this myself, my son taken from me for a year I understand the feeling of bereavement and the daily agony of that separation I have been so lucky to have won a custody case and have my son with me again but for those who do not manage to get their children back its a living death, Poor poor boy and poor poor mother to have to live with this....I scrolled through some old posts and came across this and I am reeling from it......I hope she is okay, and has support because I found it to be a very lonely road as its the day to day stuff that one has to get through after the drama and the event has happened. Much much love to Sinead.

These ? THESE deaths are O U T R A G E S. These are not, I repeat NOT, tragedies.

Tragedies are things horrid that are .n o t. MAN - made. Derechos, hurricanes, blizzards.

OUTRAGES .a r e. things horrid l i t e r a l l y MAN - made.

OUTRAGES .A R E. p r e v e n t a b l e.

Please term what this is: an OUTRAGE.

Outrages are worthy of OUR COLLECTIVE ANGERING.

Suicides by Family Courts Worldwide are entirely preventable.

I’m so deeply sorry for this tragic loss; from the child psychological abuse inflicted on the child; being weaponized to target Sinead (beloved mom) as punishment for leaving the relationship no doubt. THIS is parental alienation empirically known as child psychological abuse and ex-intimate partner violence. The courts need to get this right! The ongoing damage of a cutoff in the attachment bond to one parent by weaponizing that child to do so eats a child like a cancer from the inside out. Shane found a way to relieve the pain and get out from the space between his two parents. I could just scream at the injustice of this! Yes, I live this same abuse with my 14 year old son who’s also been weaponized and we are 3 years in court I will not stop fighting for tools of treatment to save my son. I shake me head how the dangerousness of this pathology is so missed - how many deaths is it going to take!

Read Richard Gardner in Original. He is biased against women. The PAS System is causing Problems in the whole world.

The Problem here is the PAS Theory of Richard Gardner. This end is often the follow up of children who have been forced to be seperated by family court from their mothers. Get help from the FB Group "the court said" ours is in German. "MiAs die Mütterinitiative" "White Lilly Revolution " "Heidelberger Elternrechteverein iGP " "Kinder zurück nach Hause " this Theory has to be prohibited.
