This week we heard of the successful overturn of a #familycourt case where a mother (referred to as *Sara in the reporting by @hansummers.bsky.social @tbij.bsky.social) had seen her daughters removed from her care in the name of the #pseudoscientific and #misogynistic ‘#alienation’ label.

There has been some encouraging improvements made in the context of the #familycourts in England and Wales concerning the presumption of parental involvement this week.
