Mr. J, a Former Professor Series – Entry 53: Who Protects the Children?
Questions for Courts, Commissions, and Ethics Bodies
Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia
How does the court assess the potential harm when a parent uses their child as a tool for financial or emotional coercion toward a third party?
What mechanisms are in place to evaluate whether such behaviors affect the child’s emotional safety and long-term development?
In cases where coercive control patterns involve referencing or involving minors, is this considered an aggravating factor in custody or parenting capacity assessments?
Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety of Queensland
How does the Department address cases where a parent exploits their child’s identity or presence to threaten or extort another adult?
Are there intervention protocols for situations where a child is used as leverage in adult conflicts?
How does the Department evaluate the emotional risks posed to a child in cases involving public harassment or narrative manipulation by a parent?
Australian Human Rights Commission — Children’s Rights Team
What safeguards exist to protect children from being drawn into manipulative or retaliatory behaviors by their parents in interpersonal conflicts?
How does the Commission monitor or advocate for children’s rights in cases where a parent’s public actions may compromise a child’s dignity and privacy?
Could such behavior potentially be classified as a breach of a child’s right to a safe and supportive family environment?
National Children’s Commissioner
When a parent repeatedly references or involves their child in acts of revenge or coercion, what ethical or legal standards are applied?
Are there reporting mechanisms for third parties to raise concerns about the misuse of a child’s identity in adult disputes?
How does the Commissioner engage with public cases where children are indirectly weaponized to maintain power dynamics?
Australian Senate (National Policy Oversight)
How does the Senate uphold ethical and child safety principles in cases where minors are publicly referenced in personal disputes or used as leverage?
Are there national reviews or hearings to evaluate the misuse of parental narratives that may compromise a child’s dignity and psychological safety?
How do national child protection strategies incorporate evolving forms of narrative abuse, including online and academic contexts?
UNESCO (Social and Human Sciences or Ethics of Science and Technology)
How can ethical frameworks address cases where children are symbolically weaponized in written or digital narratives to assert control or inflict emotional harm?
What global ethical guidelines exist to discourage the exploitation of familial ties (particularly minors) for personal or reputational leverage?
Could such actions fall under symbolic violence in international ethics discourse?
