This article has sooo much being said between the lines.
When the other party is there perpetrator of abuse and the one with power, it very often is detrimental to have some sort of mediation or therapy/counseling. Because the abusers very often are able to manipulate the story so they are the victims in need of most support/compromise/thoughtfulness/time/money/basically ANY conceivable resource in life and relationships they will exploit.
Now I admit I am more familiar with the medical side of things but this entire dynamic gives me pause because it is so psych 101.
To be clear, I mean the courts are absolutely failing this child and caretaker by allowing the abuser to have have access to the victim(s)
As far as information in the article, it sounds like the two kids in court-ordered Christian therapy are the only two the guy didn't (allegedly) abuse.
But still, the whole thing is disgusting. These children should be protected from such an abusive garbage human. Their mother is doing the right thing.
You're looking at this objectively as a medical practitioner....which is understandable, but way off.
What's happening here is not even in the world of psychiatric or psychology based therapy.
This is 100% Christian religious based bullshit "therapy". This can be done in Colorado with an "equivalent" graduate degree.
Even worse is if you're engaged in the practice of "religious ministry" you don't have to comply with any of the states licensure requirements as long as you don't advertise or yourself as "licensed". So in reality this "faith based therapist" probably is just some random person that works or volunteers at the church.
You're so right. Your point deserves a lot more recognition than it got. Don't shut up, don't stop what you're doing.
