"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." -Frederick Douglass

We are responsible to inform local law makers, social services, child advocates and educate family courts to recognize the signs and realize the outcomes from parental alienation abuse. This must be treated as a criminal act with malicious atrocities and punished by Arkansas state law.

ARKANSAS and all of America needs to Criminalize Parental Alienation as child abuse to protect our children and the future of our country.

Parental Alienation must be recognized as criminal child abuse.  Thousands of children will be saved from years of emotional and psychological abuse through an alienating parent or family member with the criminalization of Parental Alienation. 

This change will also save the alienated child from Parental Alienation Syndrome, learned narcissistic behaviors,  and self destructive tendencies resulting from the alienating parent. 

Criminalizing Parental Alienation will stop parents and family members from abusing the Justice System (Police and CPS-DHS) and abusing their children through false accusations of abuse against the alienated parent.  Statistics show that only 20 percent of child abuse reports out of 2.1 million cases in 2013 were valid and yet the alienator often doesn't suffer any consequences for this abuse and these false criminal accusations.  The alienator often gets away with this through the very system of justice that is supposed to protect us and our children against this abuse. 

When Parental Alienation is criminalized, law enforcement will be able to take action against the abusive alienator instead of just calling this a civil matter and allowing the child abuse to continue for years on end while allowing the targeted parents relationship with the child to become irreparably damaged.  It's imperative that we hold people accountable for this child abuse through criminal action.

We need to stand strong together as a community and nation for our children to show the Legislators and the Judicial branch of government we will not stand for an America that abuses our children.

This is our story. It is one of similar countless tragic stories. Too often a suicide may result, an alienated child or parent may face drug abuse, violence and a prison sentence as a result of someone else's hatred. Many of these stories are similar and shared amongst the thousands of men and women whom we have incarcerated in our state. Our story will end with change.

It has been five years since i was diagnosed with a rare, incurable disease called PAH. It has been five years since a Pulaski county judge issued temporary custody be granted to my 10 year old son's narcissistic father and his new wife. My son will turn 16 this May. It has been five years since he and i have seen one another.

Another half day in court is scheduled for March 26 in my attempt to enforce visitation and counseling. I have no legal representation and his father has spared no expense to prevent me from ever having contact with my only child for no other reason than "he doesn't like me."

It matters not that i am disabled, tethered to oxygen with the inability to manage full time employment.

Nevermind the lies or the implantation of unrealistic memories of me on my child's psyche.

Understand the pain and remorse of losing a parent and not having a chance to make amends or say goodbye.

Recognize that my little boy will live to resent his father, his wife, the memory of my adopted parents for damning his mother because i separated from his father. 

I separated myself from my husband. Not my son from his father. The man had full access to our son. The first 10 years, the father was around when it was convenient and on his terms. This relationship felt forced and i had pushed it. I let up on the throttle after my boy shared this statement, "Dad doesn't like me because i remind him of you."

My heart sank. "Oh baby, that isn't something you should know," I said with tears rolling across my cheeks.
"Mom, it's like the men on tv. One  born without legs, the other never had arms, i don't know any other way."  At age seven he scribed his feelings on an index card after a weekend with dad. 'I hate myself.'

My beautiful child, curious and worldly, giving and hopeful. Empathetic with the ability to understand outside of himself, with some predestined desire to transcend. All i ever wanted to be was this kid's mom.

I did well by him. He wanted for nothing. Via good nature, good nurture whichsoever a man becomes, a son desires his father's acceptance. 

Finally it was offered to him with stipulation..."You must say your mother is bad because she will be dead soon then we will have something in common. My mom also died when i was 10."

My son has been used as a weapon and will no doubt become a time bomb for society to judge when he has no where to go, no family to trust and no doubt an innocent girl to disrespect.
Hate breeds hate as familiarity, contempt.

I pray that you as parents or as anyone who has ever felt his mother's love help me end this cycle of abuse. I need legal counsel in the courtroom on March 26 and a bill in the house of representatives when the next legislative assembly starts session.

"We will spend every penny we have to keep him away from you," and "I won't stop until your ashes are in my hands!" This isn't co-parenting, it isn't love. IT IS ABUSE. And it is criminal. It happened to us, it can happen to anyone.

My child has two parents that love him. I always told talon, in defense of his dad, that we both love him, but a mom's love is different. He has been taught not only to depreciate this but to deny any idea of ever seeing me again. This could become absolute reality as this disease, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, is progressing at an undeniably substantial rate and it is becoming harder to manage daily life, even with oxygen.
