 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.


Public Explainer: What is the FRANKIE Initiative?


Have you ever met someone who seems charming at first, but leaves behind emotional devastation, confusion, and trauma? That’s often the hallmark of a narcissistic abuser and right now, there’s no national system to stop them from hurting more people.


The FRANKIE Initiative is here to change that.


What is it?A national registry that tracks verified narcissistic abusers those with patterns of coercive control, gaslighting, and identity manipulation.


Why is it needed?Narcissistic abuse doesn’t always leave bruises, but it leaves lasting damage. These predators thrive on silence. The FRANKIE Initiative helps survivors speak up, find justice, and stay safe.


How does it work?


Verified cases from courts, therapists, and survivor reports go into a secure national database.


Law enforcement and courts can use the database to spot patterns.


Survivors can confidentially check the registry.


What about false accusations?There’s a full review process, strict requirements for inclusion, and an appeals process for fairness.


How does it help me?


Protects you from repeat offenders.


Gives you access to support.


Raises national awareness so fewer people suffer in silence.


The FRANKIE Initiative honors the voices of those who’ve been silenced and builds a future where no survivor is left unprotected.


Heal Loudly. Fight Back. Demand Accountability.

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care. This concealment makes their toxic behaviors particularly insidious. Understanding these behaviors is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from their harmful effects. The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...
