Demand Congress to Criminalize Parental Alienation and Alienation Trauma!

- United States of America
Currently both Brazil and Mexico have made it illegal for a parent or other person to deliberately use the family court system as a tool to use children as weapons during divorce and separation proceedings as bombshells of mass destruction to cause emotional harm to the other parent.
The current term for this is Parental Alienation; however it continues to flourish here in the United States and other countries causing life long damage to the parental bonds between both fathers and mothers and their children. This absence during the developmental stages of the lives of children has been well documented by multiple professionals.
Alienation is a very complex issue that does not receive adequate attention because Society has become complacent as the divorce rate continues to rise!
Children need and have the right to the essential bond that only a mother or father can provide.
Alienation begins with disparagement, and escalates to brainwashing the child, manipulation, discouragement to feel free to desire the natural bond with the other parent without fear of consequences and ultimately deliberate and wanton severing of a necessary bond and even hatred and acting out in ways that are harmful such as drug use, promiscuity, issues with authority, depression and anxiety just to name a few. As long as these abuses are allowed to continue we will have more generations of dysfunctional adults and parents forced into positions of being unable to guide and protect them from this harm.
Despite the fact that there are laws to protect against this Narcissistic and controlling form of abuse; they are rarely upheld! Court systems are not only not currently linked and there is no system currently in place to review custody decisions after they have been made and as such we have children and parents wrongfully separated and irreparable damage to the most innocent victims that remains unchecked and unpunished! This child/familial abuse remains rampant and needs to be ended swiftly and permanently!
We the undersigned urge Congress to pass an urgent bill to STOP Parental Alienation and Alienation Trauma by making it a "Criminal Offense" for a parent or any other person to use children as weapons to hurt the other parent and cause life long damage! Partial and complete severance of the loving bonds that are unarguably necessary and essential to their healthy development is unacceptable!
The role each parent plays in the life of a child from birth until adulthood is equally as crucial and important. The act of robbing a child from that bond has proven and documented to cause severe out comes. This damage lasts far too long; often life long and leaves unfathomable scars to their psyche.
As it stands right now one in four children is alienated from a loving and fit parent "Psychology Today" That is an unacceptable 25 percent of children growing up without a living parent who is loving and fit!
This issue has now been multi-generational for far too long. If the United States does not step up and follow the example of Brazil and Mexico, we will continue to have more familial bonds decimated and children growing up to be dysfunctional; rather than happy, healthy and productive members of society! We must Stand up and take the lead and make Parental Alienation Illegal. It is the the ONLY deterrent to stop this abuse and the only hope for our future generations of parents and children!
