 Friday, 9 June 2023 marks 5 years and 11 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. https://www.facebook.com/reunitenikkianddaddy (Bulgarian) "Not an orphan in the wide world can be so deserted as the child who is an outcast from a living parent's love." is a quotation from Dombey and Son (Chapter 24). Dombey and Son was Charles Dickens's seventh novel, published between 1846 and 1848. My diary tells me that in June 2019 I was working with the Centrum Internationale Kinderontvoering https://kinderontvoering.org/ to try and find a negotiated non-legal way to establish contact with Nikki, my efforts always lead back to the Bulgarian courts.

  Tuesday, 9 May 2023 marks 5 years and 10 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. Paging through my diary of May 2019, I am reminded of a formal request Nikki's mother made via her lawyers to take Nikki on holdiday to Mauritius after I had declined to give my permission, given my fears of abduction. Nikki's mother had claimed that the holiday would be a wonderful experience for Nikki, they would stay at the Radisson Blu in Port Louis and there would be all sorts of fun activities for Nikki to participate in. On receiving the request my lawyers did some investigation into the Radisson Blu in Port Louis....only to find out that they were an adults only establishment and did not permit children to stay there. I went ahead and tried to make a booking to see for myself....and sure enough, no children allowed...

  Sunday, 9 April 2023 (Easter Weekend) marks 5 years and 9 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. During April of 2019, I am in communication with the National Prosecuting Authority… serious crimes have been committed and a child’s welfare hangs in the balance. I am also having more discussions with journalists to write some articles relating to border control in SA. During April, 2019 I have also entered into discussions with the European Court of Human rights about the application I lodged with them. Also in my diary, the Centurion Blues Football Club where I am playing soccer at the time hold   a quiz evening to raise funds for Nikki’s plight, I could never thank my teammates especially Miguel Taylor (work organised the event) enough for this incredible support.

  Thursday, 9 March  2023 marks 5 years and 8 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. Looking at some correspondence with Nikki's school March, 2019. My request was dismissed in a three line response telling me to go and get a court order, the devastating effects of parental alienation on a child....clearly a non-issue for them.

  Monday, 9 February 2023 marks 5 years and 7 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse . In January 2023, I  was happy to be made aware of this initiative    "Hi, my name is Lois Temel. I am a school teacher and filmmaker. Together with my co-producer, Dr Braam Ackermann (a psychiatrist), we are making a documentary on parental alienation. This is when one parent, normally during divorce and separation, turns the children against the alienated parent. In severe cases this can lead to no contact between the child and the alienated parent. Both women and men engage in alienating behaviour in equal measure and it has profound implications for the children and alienated parent involved. We have already interviewed several parental alienation experts for this film, including Dr Amy Baker. Funds raised will be to travel to Israel in Marc...

  Monday, 9 January 2023 marks 5 years and 6 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse ( https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=8U54NF_mAck ). In January, 2019 my diary tells me that I have just received the judgement of the appeal hearing. Nikki's mother now (as she had done towards the end in SA) made an interesting choice of legal representation, and used legal council who were better known for dealing with criminal matters than family matters ( https://www.novinite.com/ articles/129203/Lawyer+to+ Appeal+Verdict+in+Bulgaria% 27s+Double+Murder+Case ) . The strategy served her but not Nikki well. If you remember from my previous postings, I had won The Hague matter which ordered Nikki's return to South Africa where the Parenting Plan ordered by the High Court of South Africa should be implemented. Below are factors which the Appeal Court in Bulgar...

  Friday, 9 December 2022 marks 5 years and 5 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive any news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse  ( https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=8U54NF_mAck ) Looking in my diary for December 2018, I see some interesting things were going on. I got sight of an affidavit regarding a complaint Nikki's Mom lodged against a practitioner we had engaged stating amongst other things:   'Ms XXXXXXXXXXXXX lodged a complaint alleging that XXXXXXXX was biased against her and that XXXXXXX disclosed confidential information without her consent. Her complaint was investigated by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). The HPCSA is the regulatory body tasked in South Africa with guiding and regulating the health professions in South Africa in aspects pertaining to professional conduct and ethical behaviour and fostering compliance with healthcare standards ...

 Sunday, 9 October 2022 marks 5 years and 3 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/enlightened-living/202208/why-parental-alienation-is-form-domestic-abuse?utm_source=FacebookPost&utm_medium=FBPost&utm_campaign=FBPost&fbclid=IwAR3fm6LhR-xod8hREhOSNGUQjvlqiKzX5kZf2IwijQjIO3km0gYj7UBiKz4). Notes from my diary tell me that I was back to Bulgaria for another court case. For this particular court appearance I was working with my lawyers to see if we could bring Nikki's au pair over to Bulgaria as a witness. In the affidavits to the court the Nikki's Mom is citing grave risk of harm if Nikki is retuned to South Africa and I am working through mountains of crime stats in South Africa to try and defend against this argument... I also have the Child Educational Psychologist's forensic report tr...

Friday, 9 September 2022 marks 5 years and 2 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. https://www.psychologytoday.com/.../why-parental... I find amongst my September emails this one below: given that it took me roughly 25 hours to get from my home to Sofia at a cost of around R20,000.00 and although I tried, this schedule was impossible to keep. There is a lot of back and forth between my lawyers and I where I am trying to get a translation of the protocol. Subject: Re: Re Nicholas Mulder - Re: Nikki Visitation Itinerary Dear All I have taken the Protocol from the court hearing from 15 June 2018 and have been at the social services department at Lozenets Municipality. They have explained to me from the SSD Lozenets Municipality that they will undertake any actions in accordance with the Protocol when they receive the Protocol officially from the cour...

  Tuesday, 9 August 2022 marks 5 years and 1 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. It was also this South Africa National Women's Day, two years ago that Nikki's beloved 'Granny' passed away... she was a truly remarkable woman and one day Nikki will learn of her legacy. https://www.internationalwomensday.com/.../National-Women... From my diary, I can see in August, 2018 that I am working with the Child Abduction Center in the Netherlands who are in direct communication with my Bulgarian lawyers. My lawyers also sent me an email saying that Nikki's return to South Africa has been ordered by the Bulgaria court in The Hague matter. I also go to visit Nikki at SSD Lozenets (in Bulgaria) but I am told he is ill and he doesn't attend the visit, I ask my lawyers to correspond with Nikki's Mom's lawyers to find out what is...

 Saturday, 9 July 2022 marks 4 years and 12 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. Looking at my diary in July 2018: I see my lawyers have made representations to Bulgarian border patrol in an attempt to prevent a further re-abduction to a non-Hague Convention country. I had also tried to have the forensic report generated in South Africa put in front of he Bulgarian court but they refused to accept it, if I remember correctly the reason being that it was presented as evidence in another court case and could not be used again. This was a huge setback as that report was very detailed and very telling. I am also discussing with my lawyer to present Nikki's Mom with my intended itinerary for trips to see Nikki in Bulgaria. My attempts to work with Nikki's Mom in this regard proved to be a huge mistake as you'll see in later posts where I t...

Thursday, 9 June 2022 marks 4 years and 11 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. Looking through my diary, I was in Bulgaria again for a Hague court case. I am also emailing my business clients in South Africa asking for some leniency around project deliverables as I am battling with my personal circumstances. Fortunately and I am forever grateful, that they graciously accommodate my ever more  erratic schedule due to monthly Bulgaria trips. I'm also receiving emails from "Little Kickers", a soccer club which I enrolled Nikki at....regrettably I had to inform them that Nikki wouldn't be coming back......they very kindly agree to terminate his contract without any financial penalty to his already badly cash hemorrhaging Dad. Authorisations and money to translate various legal documents and psycholist reports into English or ...

  Monday, 9 May 2022 marks 4 years and 10 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his wellbeing. Parental Alienation is child abuse. 9 May 2022 is also celebrated as Victory Day in Russia and given the current situation between Ukraine and Russia, there are expected to be announcements by Russia with regards to their position related to Ukraine. I look on with a sense of nervousness and wonder what the implications for Bulgaria and Nikki could be? From my diary in May 2018, I see that I am preparing for a court ordered meeting with a Bulgarian psychologist where Nikki will be present. I am trying to negotiate for a longer time with Nikki than that designated by the court. I am also working with border control in Bulgaria to prevent Nikki being abducted again, this time out of Bulgaria. Claims are being made  that I made no effort to contact Nikki since his abduction, luckily I kept records ...

Saturday, 9 March 2022 marks 4 years and 9 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his well being. Parental Alienation is child abuse. During the past month I was grateful to be a case study for training held by the South African Association of Mediators  https://www.saam.org.za/  and titled "Contact Resistance and Refusal (Parental Alienation)". The objective of the session was to address three major questions related to the topic of Parental Alienation 1) How does resistance and refusal negatively impact the childrens and the parents? 2) What could be the possible underlying reasons why a child could resist or refuse to have contact with a parent? 3) How can a mediator successfully assist the families regarding this critical matter? During "Nikki's story" I had tried formal mediation twice.....On the first occasion a certificate of "no outcome" was issued with the...

Wednesday, 9 March 2022 marks 4 years and 8 months since Nikki was abducted to Sofia, Bulgaria. Today I am 100% alienated from Nikki, have no contact or receive no news of his well being. Parental Alienation is child abuse. On  24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Although Bulgaria does not share a border with either of these countries, the war is too close for comfort. We pray that peace is rapidly restored. As I page through my diary, the following things were going on: March 2017 I'm working with a psychologist regarding my observations of what is happening around Nikki and receiving guidance around what is best for Nikki in dealing with the environment we are in. I am also still engaged with the child educational psychologist who is preparing his report with recommendations on a parenting plan. I also test concerns around unhealthy alienating behaviour I see developing with the psychologist and after receiving their input, bring them to the attention of the child education...

Parental Alienation is child abuse. https://emmm.org.au/parental- alienation Some notes from my diary in January 2017: My lawyers received a letter from Nikki's mothers lawyers (I'll do the count but there was about the third of fourth set of lawyers Nikki's Mom was working with) which contained this statement "... my client has accepted a job offer from Microsoft requiring her to return to Bulgaria with an effective start-date of 1 February 2017, and she would never think of leaving South Africa without Nicholas." I signed documents appointing a child forensic assessor to determine the best interests of the minor child (Nikki) Communication was now flowing thick and fast between my and Nikki's Mom's lawyers, an advocate was also involved in my matter as I needed to defe...
