Abstract

In this article we have tried to present our research in this field, drawing on a parallel with world experience, research and obtained data.It is well known that the innate desire to have a relationship with parents is one of the most powerful instincts of man, perhaps surpassed only by the instinct of survival and the instinct of protection own children. Among normal children, this instinct is rarely suppressed if there is no stimulating influence.In our article we have tried to show that alienation is more widespread and depressing for children and parents than previously thought. It is more important to raise this issue these days because it may seem strange that all over the world, every day, every hour, is expressing their views on the protection of children's rights, many laws and international conventions are being adopted, but the children still remain the vulnerable and defenseless ring.A thorough study of the key elements of parent alienation in research literature has revealed that it contains elements of maltreatment with children. At the same time, our research has shown that the more a child persistently insists on not being in touch with the other parent, the greater the pressure on the child from the other parent. Therefore, parental alienation requires relevant measures for children protection.A notorious factor should be the involvement and taking the responsibility of competent structures, rather than avoiding or ignoring such phenomena.

Summary

Introduction

The number of divorces has increased significantly in recent years. But what is most disturbing, is the increased use of psychological violence against children by one or another parent (mainly the one who cares about the child) who either takes revenge on the other parent, has material expectations or other motives. There are, exceptional cases where a child who has been subjected to harsh treatment or domestic violence for a long time justifiably fears and rejects the parent They are very few cases, and there are numerous studies of child abuse that show that even children who are physically abused rarely reject the abusive parent as willingly as alienated children do. Parental alienation involves a series of abuse strategies by one parent aimed at encouraging the child to leave the other parent In this way, children are subjected to one parent for rejecting the other. The first defining characteristic of parental alienation, as a form of emotional abuse of children, is related to alienating behavior It involves implementing a series of abusive strategies by the parent who has alienated to help the child reject the other parent.
