Kieran Hayler breaks his silence after being arrested on suspicion of ‘child neglect and possession of a firearm’ – while his ex-wife Katie Price shares cryptic post
Katie Price’s ex-husband, Kieran Hayler, has broken his silence after being arrested on suspicion of ‘child neglect and possession of a firearm’.
The former stripper and personal trainer, 36, who shares son Jett, nine, and daughter Bunny, eight with the former glamor model, took to Instagram in the early hours of Sunday morning when he shared an information poster about parental alienation.
It explained that it involves a form of “physical abuse” where one parent, through “coaching and persuasion,” eliminates a parent from their child’s life.
The message read: “In most cases, a previously healthy love relationship between the child and its parent and/or family is destroyed, resulting in severe emotional and psychological harm to the child.”
Then the alleged abuser’s “primary strategies” were listed, including limiting contact and making “false accusations” against the targeted parent.
