Dissecting Tina Swithin’s Lies About Reunification Camps

Tina Swithin of One Mom’s Battle (OMB) has been on a 10-year crusade against alienation. One of Swithin’s missions is to annihilate safe and effective reunification programs, such as Turning Points for Families (TPFF).

As with all of Swithin’s illusionary lies about alienation, her attacks on reunification programs lack even a shred of evidence, proof, or reality – beginning with her made-up name “reunification camps.”

Here I respond to three of Swithin’s TikTok videos with her most bizarre lies about reunification programs and the judges who order the programs.

Tina Swithin Made-Up the Term “Reunification Camps”

Tina Swithin has created and popularized the term “reunification camps” when referring to the reunification programs ordered by the Court to remedy the findings of parental alienation.

Swithin is deliberately minimizing and discrediting these programs, which are relied upon by the Courts.

Turning Points for Families is therapeutic vacation. It treats only one family at a time in a home-like setting and with daily participation in local activities of interest and desire to the children.

These are Tina Swithin’s Three Videos With Her Bizarre Lies About “Reunification Camps”

In the following three videos, Swithin makes some of her most bizarre claims about reunification programs. Her intent is to terrorize alienated children who have been referred by the Courts to one of these specialized programs so that they will violently resist the intervention.

SWITHIN’S 2023 VIDEO #1: Let’s talk about Reunification camps

In this video, Swithin makes a number of false claims that reunification therapists terrorize children in order to gain their compliance and capitulation.

Swithin falsely claims reunification therapists:

• Gaslight children until their feelings do not matter.
• Call children liars.
• Tell children their feelings for their abusive parent have no basis in reality.
• Tell children they have made up their truths.
• Expose children to gaslighting videos
• Threaten children they will never see their loving, healthy family members again if they do not get with the program.
• Degrade children by stripping them down to their underwear.
• Take the doors off their room and watch them go to the bathroom.
• Do everything to intimidate, threaten, and terrorize the children to gain their compliance.

SWITHIN’S 2023 VIDEO #2: What’s a reunification camp?

In this video, Swithin claims that Judges and professionals are in collusion in order to profit off of children.

These are what Swithin falsely claims judges and professionals say and do:

• Treat children like property or a retirement account.
• Allow parental rights to trump children’s safety.
• Force children to have a relationship with an abusive parent.
• Judges accept the false claim of alienation because they do not believe a parent would abuse a child.
• When the healthy parent protects the child from the abusive parent, they are falsely accused of alienating.
• Judge have no domestic violence training and are not educated about it.
• Judges do not understand why children would reject an abusive parent.
• Reunification therapists tell children their healthy parent is lying to them.
• Reunification therapists tell children the abuse never happened and they made it all up.
• Reunification camps are like wilderness camps that are being closed down for committing child abuse.
• Children are removed from their healthy parent by traumatizing transporters who take them kicking and screaming to be deprogrammed.
• There is collusion between judges and professionals to line their pockets at the expense of children.
• Until and unless a child admits that the abuse never happened, they are subjected to regiment, exercises, and required to write letters denying any abuse.
• Reunification programs are a “barbaric cottage industry” in which professionals make a great deal of money by abusing children.

SWITHIN’S 2023 VIDEO #3: Why would a judge send a child into a reunification camp?

In this video, Swithin defames judges and professionals by erroneously claiming they collude with each other to profit off of children.

These are more of Swithin’s false claims about judges and reunification therapists:

• Judges are lazy or overburdened so they delegated their job responsibilities to professionals in the alienation industry who are in it for the money.
• Other judges are unethical and corrupt. They are involved to make money.
• Reunification camps are a scheme to make money like the “cash for kids scandal.” There is no difference.
• Judges do not know even domestic violence 101.
• Professionals have infiltrated the Court system.
• Lawyers have conspired with the same custody evaluators and professionals to achieve the findings they want.
• Judges rely upon these corrupt conspirators.
• All of these colluders and corrupt judges are “cockroaches” working behind the scenes in the dark.

Swithin Has Made No Attempt to Learn the Truth About Turning Points for Families

Swithin has not contacted me to learn the facts and truth about the TPFF intervention.

Swithin fails to report that TPFF does not use transport teams. 179 children of 185 came to TPFF under the supervision of the alienated parent. The remaining 6 came under the supervision of their alienating parent.

Swithin has not reported the findings of the Courts that the overwhelming number of treatment outcomes at TPFF were positive.

Swithin has not reported that the treatment failures at TPFF were due to the alienating parent’s violation of the court-orders protective separation.

Swithin has not contacted alienated parents for their perspective on the family dynamics and of the TPFF intervention.

Swithin has not made attempts to speak with the overwhelming number of children who have had reconnection success stories at TPFF.

Swithin does not report that every TPFF intervention of the 185 children who participated was reviewed by the Court subsequent to the 4-day intervention. Except for a few cases in which the alienating parent violated the no-contact order, the Court was satisfied with the outcome of the intervention.

Swithin fails to report about the 2021 peer-reviewed research study that found TPFF to be safe and 96.4% effective in reconnecting severely alienated children with their alienated parent.

Conclusion

For more than 10 years, Tina Swithin has been proliferating absurd lies about reunification programs. One of the most outrageous lie is that reunification programs subject children to horrifying experiences that torture and terrorize them.

It is beyond credulity to give credibility to Swithin’s self-serving meritless claims about reunification programs. She has no first-hand knowledge about these programs, and she has made no attempt to gain first-hand knowledge.

The time is long overdue for Swithin be held accountable for her egregious lies about reunification programs that have resulted in profound harm to many alienated children.
