For those deniers of Parental Alienation here is a case that is one of the more severe. Children have gone as far as killing their parents so it does get worse. A young boy shot his father, a surgeon in Texas, several years back. The dad in this case appears to have incited so much hatred of the mom they all attempted to kill her. Both children are the victims as is the mom and they need counselling not jail. The dad should rot in prison for life. He is a scum bag of the highest order and there is no place for him in society. He broke the most sacred trust he will ever get in life and that is the care, comfort, nurturing and emotional growth of his children. On an emotional level I think they should give him to those of us who have been target parents as part of his punishment and this writer will ensure he never gets to procreate again. On a logical level it would not be appropriate but such is the thought process when you see innocent children turned against you. This treatment of children occurs by either parent and the one doing it has serious mental health deficiencies.MJM

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- A Douglas County jury convicted a Lawrence man of encouraging his children to try and kill their mother by assaulting her with a baseball bat.
The jury deliberated for three hours Tuesday before finding 61-year-old Arthur Davis III guilty of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and contributing to a child's misconduct.
Prosecutors said Davis encouraged his 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son to kill his ex-wife on June 16. After the children began beating her, Davis went to her house and helped with the attack.
The woman was able to escape and ran down the road to seek help.Prosecutors said the attack was prompted by a child custody dispute. The girl was granted immunity and testified against her father. The Davis' son will be tried as a juvenile.
