Bucharest Tribunal together with an NGO – APISET Association (The Art of Innovative Projects in Education, Health and Tourism), is organising for the first time in Romania, an international congress devoted exclusively to the issues of alienated children.

Dr. Simona Maria Vlădica, organiser of the conference says –
‘This is the first international congress organized by a public authority in the field, that is, the biggest court in Romania that handles juvenile cases. We are talking about the Tribunal (the second instance in order of judges cases – they decisions remain definitive) who understood the gravity of the phenomenon of parental alienation and wants to organize this training of magistrates in the sense of their specialization in this delicate matter. The targeted audience will be formed exclusively by magistrates (judges and prosecutors) involved in solving this kind of cases. Psychologists are welcomed, too.

Secondly, we are planning to improve the legislation in Romania, to change the Romanian law and/or to add/change some articles from the law.

Also, the specialists in this field from around the world will sit together for 2 days of conference with the objective to find solutions to combat parental alienation by implementing exercise joint custody and extensive personal engagement In Romania prosecutors are prosecuting criminal offenses in which they commit the offense of non-observance of measures concerning the custody of minors, harassment and ill-treatment of minors.

During this congress we will find from the reputable specialists in the field both from the country and from abroad (judges, prosecutors and psychologists) sensitive issues regarding different cases of emotional abuse exercised by the parents on the minors in the case of the separation. 

The main purpose of this conference is forming the skills and abilities of magistrates judges and prosecutors through a theoretical and practical training, in order to be able to identify cases of emotional abuse exercised by parents on minors and dispose some measures in order to analyze and to take the effective treatment programs as well penalizing the abusive parent by changing the child’s home to the parent victim.’
