Irrespective of any appeal that may follow and any treatment of the argument in other jurisdictions, the essence of the finding — that in the internet age, providing a reasonable opportunity
to access counsel carries a positive obligation on the police
to provide internet
access — is slowly on its way
to becoming conventional wisdom around the globe.
Judicial responses
to alienation include: ordering an assessment; ordering supervised
access on a permanent basis; intervention in the early stages of the dispute, before the problem has had time
to become «true» alienation, or in the early years of a child's development; changing custody on a temporary basis; determining whether «pure» or «mixed» alienation is taking place; keeping the courts involved; suggesting
counselling; making a finding of contempt; making a no - contact order; involving the Children's Aid Society; not making a parallel parenting order; meeting with the children; and in extreme cases, putting the alienating parent's actions on court record, in hopes that if the child revisits the issue as an adult, they may be able
to see what actually took place.
