PARENTAL ALIENATION IS THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH A CHILD BECOMES ESTRANGED FROM ONE PARENT AS THE RESULT OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION OF ANOTHER PARENT. 

STATISTICS SHOW THAT UP TO 25% OF PARENTS NATIONWIDE, ENGAGE IN THIS BEHAVIOR. BASED ON CURRENT RESEARCH, OVER 22 MILLION ADULTS HAVE BEEN TARGETS OF PARENTAL ALIENATION AND 3.9 MILLION CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ALIENATED FROM ONE OF THEIR PARENTS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY SON AND GRANDSON CONTRIBUTE TO THOSE NUMBERS. 

THOUGH THESE FORMS OF BEHAVIOR AGAINST THE ALIENATED PARENT CAN LEAD TO MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS SUCH AS, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND PTSD, THE TRAUMA IT CAUSES THE CHILD IS MUCH WORSE. 

THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS ON CHILDREN INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, LOW SELF ESTEEM, SELF HATRED, ANGER, GUILT, DISCONNECTION, LACK OF TRUST, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND PTSD.

ALTHOUGH SOME STATES ACKNOWLEDGE THIS BEHAVIOR AND CUSTODY IS EITHER MODIFIED OR AWARDED TO THE NON-ALIENATING PARENT, MOST STATES DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE BEHAVIORS AS FORMS OF CHILD ABUSE. 

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO KEEP YOUR CHILD FROM THE OTHER PARENT, UNLESS THAT PARENT IS A DANGER TO THE WELL BEING OF THE CHILD. A PERSON'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A STABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF BEING A PARENT. A CHILD IS A HUMAN BEING, NOT A POSSESSION!

I AM ON A MISSION TO GET LAWS ENACTED, THAT WOULD MAKE PARENTAL ALIENATION A FORM OF CHILD ABUSE, THAT IS PUNISHABLE IN A CRIMINAL COURT OF LAW AND I'M STARTING IN MY STATE OF OKLAHOMA. BY SUPPORTING THIS PETITION, YOU ARE ENSURING THAT ALIENATED PARENT'S VOICES ARE HEARD AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THAT CHILDREN ARE BEING REMOVED FROM ABUSIVE PARENTAL CARE.

PLEASE DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND SIGN THIS PETITION! THANK YOU!

ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF MY SON AND GRANDSON. AS YOU CAN SEE, MY SON IS CRYING, BECAUSE HIS SON HAD TO GO BACK TO HIS MOTHER. HE WAITED 8 MONTHS TO SEE HIS SON AND ONLY GOT TO KEEP HIM FOR 2 WEEKS.
