California's bill against junk science

As many arrived to support the protection of children and women from child abuse and violence, so were those who seeked to continue its reign.  Much to be considered about the motivations of those who wish to use a junk science theory that is well known to harm children and cause hatred towards women.  Much debate raged on as even with some agreement on the need to protect children, the opposing suggested that Sexual and Physical abuse be removed so that it just states, "Abuse".  This was intended to include psychological abuse.  The consequences of this would be converting a useful bill aimed at protecting children to a bill that perpetrators could still peddle Parent Alienation or Parent Alienation Syndrome as a form of psychological abuse.  The current status of children in the family court remains that what is referred to as, "psychological abuse" nullifies the underlying factors of child abuse and violence.  The psychological abuse whilst it may be useful in further describing intimate partner terrorism and the strategies that are used to maintain control, there is still a real danger that this could be used against women and children.  The mimic, a movie about a predator that mimics its prey best describes how human predators continue to violate children and women's rights to be free from torture.
