O knihe
Based on a true story - A story of suffering - A story of hope
"I don't care about our daughter." Words that echoed in my head; that I couldn't accept as true; that nearly drove me to the grave.
Trevor Cooper shares his deeply personal and gripping story of parental alienation. The story of the uncontrolled chaos when a family is propelled into the "pinball machine" that is the family separation industry. Where ideology and profits spin the score to dizzying levels, and the family-one by one-falls down the ball-return shoot, unsure if they will reappear.
Be drawn into the absurd and aggressive tactics used by lawyers who flip their clients to keep the game going: to reach the highest score. Police acting on unsubstantiated statements, bumping people into and around the game. A cast of crazies recruited to intimidate and create chaos in unbelievable ways. Judges, ruling the behaviour appalling, seemingly disgusted, yet unable or unwilling to curb the antics and instead simply let the games continue.
A story with elements of an international crime thriller, this is also a story of hope, as the father transitions from contemplating his own death, to helping and saving others as they pass through their own hellish pinball machines, to see the future and live for their children.
With additional real-life accounts from Trevor's experience helping others, The Pinball Wizard exposes the incentives built into the system that allow it to rack up huge scores at the children's expense. It provides insight on how this could occur to someone you love, a friend, or a member of your community. It also sheds light on important policy considerations for governments, if they truly care about their constituents and the future generation.
