Policy Brief: The FRANKIE InitiativeFederal Registry for Abusers of Narcissistic Knowledge, Identity, and Exploitation
Www.change.org/VoicelessJusticeAct
Executive Summary:The FRANKIE Initiative is a legislative proposal that seeks to establish a federally maintained registry of individuals with substantiated histories of narcissistic abuse—particularly those who exhibit patterns of psychological manipulation, coercive control, and identity-based exploitation. This initiative provides a structural safeguard for survivors, supports law enforcement and the courts, and deters serial psychological abusers. It is a critical companion to the Voiceless Justice Act and reflects an urgent national need for transparency and accountability in cases of psychological abuse.
Problem Statement:Narcissistic abuse, though often invisible, leaves deep psychological scars and drives many survivors to mental health crises, homelessness, and suicide. Predators exploit society’s ignorance and a lack of systemic tracking, moving freely from one victim to another across jurisdictions. There is currently no federal mechanism to track or identify such repeat psychological offenders.
Solution: The FRANKIE Initiative
1. National Registry of Narcissistic Abusers
Maintained by a federal agency (e.g., DOJ or HHS) with restricted, tiered access.
Inclusion requires a combination of legal, medical, and testimonial verification (e.g., restraining orders, psychological evaluations, consistent survivor reports).
2. Due Process and Legal Protections
An independent review board evaluates submissions.
Appeals and removal processes are clearly defined.
Survivor identities are always protected.
3. Standardized Reporting Framework
Accessible portals for survivors, clinicians, and law enforcement.
Verification steps to eliminate false accusations while prioritizing survivor safety.
4. Law Enforcement and Judicial Integration
Required consultation of registry in cases of DV, stalking, coercive control.
Pattern recognition algorithms to support prosecution.
5. Survivor Access Tools
Confidential lookup service.
Connection to legal, psychological, and emergency services.
6. Public Education and Prevention
National campaigns to de-stigmatize psychological abuse.
Public-private partnerships to promote awareness and training.
Impact Goals:
Reduce repeat victimization through awareness and deterrence.
Support early intervention for survivors.
Equip law enforcement and legal actors with tools to address psychological abuse.
Safeguards:
Independent oversight committee
Federal privacy compliance (HIPAA, FERPA, etc.)
Legal liability protection for survivors and clinicians reporting in good faith
Call to Action:We urge lawmakers to support the FRANKIE Initiative as part of a comprehensive policy package with the Voiceless Justice Act. Together, these proposals will create historic protections for survivors of psychological abuse and close a gaping hole in our national abuse prevention systems.
