Fathers4Justice are calling on the government to introduce Archie's Law which will make Parental Alienation and Contact Denial criminal offences as well as protecting every child's right to a father with the introduction of 50/50 shared parenting for separated dads.

Family court survivors and separated dads, grandparents and other relatives are encouraged to tie purple ribbons alongside pictures of their children on lampposts, bridges and at landmarks across the country in memory of their children and grandchildren and light candles of hope and remembrance.

Said F4J Founder Matt O’Connor; “We have a moral duty to raise awareness about the poisonous, hateful pandemic of parental alienation, which has left a stolen generation of forgotten children torn apart from loving dads in secret family courts.”
 
“Contact denial and parental alienation is child abuse and is putting children at risk of serious emotional harm. We want the government to make these criminal offences."
 
“Archie’s Law and the purple ribbon will become a symbol of hope for families everywhere and will help protect every child’s right to a father."

Archie's Law is named after the youngest son of F4J founder Matt O'Connor.
