April 25th - Parental Alienation Awareness Day
I was happy to hear from the Parental Alienation Awareness Organization that seven governors have either issued Proclamations or Recognition of April 25th as Parental Alienation Awareness Day. I’d like to publically thank the following Governors for doing the right thing. When it is so easy to find victims of parental alienation, I simply can’t understand why some people are trying to pass laws so the term “parental alienation” can’t be used in family court. Parental Alienation is even listed in Wikipedia.
If you have some extra time, please thank these progressive Governors:
Connecticut - Governor Rell
Iowa - Governor Vilsack
Kentucky - Governor Fletcher
Maine - Governor Baldacci
Montana - Governor Schweitzer
Nebraska - Governor Heineman
Nevada - Governor Gibbons
…….
JUST IN FROM THE UK:
A petition regarding parental alienation:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to recognise
Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) as emotional and
psychological child abuse.Every day children are being alienated (brain washed) against
the ‘non-resident parent’, usually the father, by the ‘resident
parent’, usually the mother, and as a result a child suffers
from Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS).The effect of a PAS sufferer is that child not wanting anything
to do with the parent they have been alienated against.PAS is emotional and psychological child abuse and should be
treated with the same seriousness as all the other forms of
child abuse.
Sign the petition HERE.

JUST IN FROM CANADA:
Parental Alienation Syndrome - on the radio
mind poisoning of children
Wednesday, April 25, 2007…..10am Eastern (Toronto) time call in, toll-free anywhere in USA and Canada 1-877-801-8255
Radio is only successful when you call in to express YOUR views, or your experiences.
Ottawa mayor, Larry O’Brien set to declare April 25, 2007 as awareness day for Parental Alienation Syndrome.
Radio www.news957.com looks at 2 forms of mind poisoning:
(PAS), in which custodial parents do everything possible to turn children against the other parent (usually against their fathers)
1) Extreme method:
This practice has the alienating parent constantly bombarding the children with malice against other parent … to the point that the kids hate them, or at least fear the wrath of the alienating parent if the youngster shows any interest in visiting with the other parent:
“Your mom is bad”
” Your dad is irresponsible, and a low-life”
” Mom does not want you”
” Father is a deadbeat”
” He doesn’t pay enough child support, so you cannot have the bicycle you want”
Eventually the barrage takes its toll on the youngster’s mind, so he refuses contact with with the absent parent.
2) Insidious, underhanded method:
This technique is so slippery it is difficult to counteract. It cons the child away from the other parent with “cookies and candies”, each time the youngster is scheduled to visit:
“The rest of us are going to the fair to ride the roller coaster — But you can go to the visit with [the other parent], if you want.”
2 weeks later, before the next visitation time, “Your brother and sister are going to Joey’s birthday party for balloons and cake and games — But you can go to the visit with your [other parent], if you want”
2 weeks later, before the next visitation, “We are going camping with Uncle Joe — But you can go to the visit with your [other parent], if you want.”

< ![CDATA[My ex took the "insidious, underhanded" method routinely with my girls, to the point that now as young adults they still have warped views of what really happened. I took the high road, she took the low road, and as far I can tell, her lies and manipulations worked.
I've turned down more than 20 marriage offers in the last 15 years. I'll never get married again. A system that would allow my ex to get away with this kind of crime is no system of which I want to be a part in the future.]]>

< ![CDATA[KRS said: "I’ll never get married again. A system that would allow my ex to get away with this kind of crime is no system of which I want to be a part in the future."
Ditto on that point. My ex, after five years of the "insidious, underhanded" approach, then went for the whole shooting match and did the move-away thing. Vanished with my two sons, then 8 and 10 years old. Turned up recently in a state 2,000 miles away. Haven't seen or spoken to my boys in all these years. The agony is indescribable, but the tragedy for my sons for the rest of their lives will be incalculable. An act of pure and utter selfishness and malice.
I, too, want nothing further to do with such a vile and corrupt system
and plan to never marry again. Why would I or any sane person?]]>

< ![CDATA[Very sad, Menck and KRS. I hope when your children grow older they realize what has happened and try hard to make up for lost time.
Strangely enough, the only people I know personally who have sufferend from the same are all women. All three have been displaced in their children's lives by their husbands' respective second wives, all of whom insist they be called "Mommy" by their stepmothers. Very sad and confusing for the children.
Thank you, Teri, for bringing this to our attention. Very encouraging to see some governors realizing this crisis needs attention.]]>

< ![CDATA[An example of the underhanded route my ex used, among others....
"Daddy likes being alone. Let's not disturb him by having you go over there and making noise."
So then I would call the police and by the time they showed up, IF they showed up, my "visitiation" time would be almost over.
She also would refuse to let me talk to them on birthdays, Christmases, and at other various times, would tell me that the girsl were "outside playing" when I could tell they were in my ex's house...just so that she could prevent me from talking to them. And if I left messages with my ex to have the girls call me back, she would never relay the message and never tell the girls I had called to wish them a happy birthday, etc.
Routine stuff.
Mjaybee....Yeah, your sitaution is strange, in that more than 90% of the time the kids end up with the mom and it's the dad who becomes the target of alienation. But yes, it's tragic no matter who the children are being alienated from.]]>
