A (A Child) (Fact-finding: domestic abuse and alienating behaviour), Re

None of the allegations of sexual or physical abuse by F against A were established on the balance of probabilities. There is no evidence that M encouraged or pressurised A to make false disclosures or engaged in alienating behaviour. M did seek to restrict Mr R's professional involvement with A, but this did not amount to alienation. A's refusal to see F is not justified by F's behaviour, nor is it proved to be caused by alienation by M.
