Imagine standing by as a child puts their hand on a hot stove, or not caring for them when they're sick. Parental Alienation (PA) continues to be the elephant in the room that our legal system refuses to talk about while millions of children are subjected to varying forms of this abuse everyday. Are we accepting that because PA is emotional abuse it doesn't warrant the same action as a child who is beaten? Are we too concerned about optics to call out and hold accountable parents who perpetrate this type of abuse on children? Are we too concerned that preventative action will diminish the flow of money through the legal system? While our system seems capable of assigning accountability for other harmful offenses, PA is allowed to disrupt, and in some cases destroy, the lives of children unchecked, unacknowledged and unpunished. We will never stop advocating for every child's right to a healthy, connected relationship with both parents.
