For Immediate Release April 24, 2009
April 25th is Parental Alienation Awareness Day
This
year represents the 4th annual parental alienation awareness day. A day
that receives more recognition each year and deservedly so.
F4J Fathers 4 Justice Canada
recently sent two of their Directors to attend the Canadian Symposium
on Parental Alienation Syndrome.
The Directors of our group recognize the signs and behaviors all too well.
"We've become complacent in
society. when we see a parent being belittled on the tv or in cartoons,
we think it's funny. I assure you that the real life alienation of a
child/parent relationship is tragic," says Kris Titus, National
Coordinator for F4J Fathers 4 Justice Canada.
The organization receives calls and
email from parents across the country who are being alienated from
their children. Denial of access is a weapon of choice in family law
disputes and affords a custodial parent uninterrupted time to influence
the child.
Mike Murphy, a Fathers 4 Justice Director says, "Parental Alienation is a tragic form of child abuse and can result
directly from our current dysfunctional Family Law (FLAW) court
system. It pits one parent against the other with the prize being the
children. We need a presumption of equal parenting to help
minimize the conflict and help the children. Its all about our children."
Mike runs a blog about parental alienation that is currently receiving almost 5000 hits per month.
Dr. Marty McKay said it very well
at the Canadian Symposium on Parental Alienation, "Anything not joint
physical custody is moving towards alienation."
A warning we should all heed.
