Parental alienation is a disputed psychiatric diagnosis in which one parent is accused of having brainwashed their child against the other parent. In a new documentary, produced in partnership with Insider and Retro Report, a follow-up to her recent series of investigations on the topic, reporter Olivia Gentile exposes how parental alienation has been cited by family courts in custody cases, resulting in children being placed back with their abusers or in ‘family reunification’ programs that separate them from their trusted parent.
In this conversation, we talk to Olivia about how she started reporting on parental alienation, how she developed her sources for her series of investigations on the topic, and what the response to her investigations has been like.
