Our families are being torn apart from judges not following Penal Law 135.45, and no child should think ending their own life will be the only way out of a non-loving home. On August 25, 2013, I received a call that no parent should ever receive. Despite numerous reports of letters from social workers to the courts on her behalf. Her pleas from providers that we were supposed to protect her went on death ears. My daughter committed suicide. Her suicide death could have been avoided if judges followed penal law 135.45: Custodial interference in the second degree. The majority of the judges are not following this because lawyers give to their judicial campaigns.
Everyone is trying to discredit Parental Alienation or Hostile Aggressive Parenting because of a one-sided story. Parental Alienation is not new, and this has been going on for years, but parents didn't want to be shamed for bringing this up because they knew no one would listen to them.
Parental Alienation (or Hostile Aggressive Parenting) is a group of behaviors that damage children's mental and emotional well-being and can interfere with a relationship of a child and either parent. These behaviors most often accompany high conflict marriages, separation, or divorce.
These verbal or non-verbal behaviors cause a child to be mentally manipulated or bullied into believing a loving parent is the cause of all their problems and the enemy, to be feared, hated, disrespected, and avoided.
Parental Alienation and hostile, aggressive parenting deprive children of their right to be loved by and show love for both of their parents.
The destructive actions by an alienating parent or another third person (like another family member, or even a well-meaning mental health care worker) can become abusive to the child - as the alienating behaviors are disturbing, confusing, and often frightening, to the child, and can rob the child of their sense of security and safety leading to maladaptive emotional or psychiatric reactions.
I'm advocating that our state elected officials honor the memory of my daughter and children who were failed by the dysfunctional family court system and prevent the same thing from happening to another child because it will if they don't act now!
To create a statutory presumption of joint custody for all minor children whose parents are no longer together so that both parents can continue to share in the responsibilities and duties of the children's upbringing.
When a noncustodial parent has been granted visitation rights and those rights are denied or otherwise interfered with by the custodial parent or guardian, the noncustodial parent may file with the court clerk a motion to enforcement of visitation rights.
The motion shall be filed on a form provided by the court clerk. Upon filing the action, the court shall immediately schedule a court date, which should be no more than 14 days after the motion has been filed.
If the court finds that visitation rights of the noncustodial parent have been unreasonably denied or otherwise interfered with by the custodial parent, the court shall enter an order providing for one or more of the following:
1. A specific visitation schedule;
2. Compensating visitation time for the visitation denied or otherwise interfered with, which time shall be of the same.
The following are stories from various parents that are experiencing Parental Alienation as we speak.
This is running rampant here with no checks in place in the system. Even after a court date, the mother continues these actions as she has been virtually unchecked. He needs to be held accountable for the lies and deceit.
It's a shame that our society and our family courts allow Alienation which leads to many different forms of abuse to all people involved, especially our children. They are caught in the middle then drug through the family court's dirt. It is a shame that our society and family courts allow this type of abuse to the point of suicide, which is usually brought on by Alienation, which causes children emotional, physiological, and often self-inflicted physical and lots of extreme suicide. It's time we stand together and start looking out for the BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN, & REALIZE WHAT IT IS DOING TO THEM AS CHILDREN AND AS THEY CONTINUE TO BE ADULTS!
The state's power to eliminate parents from a child's life must be taken away given that a majority of the time, it is carried out after false accusations are leveled against the child's parents, and the level of proof for those accusations is next to nothing. This is done in the name of the almighty dollar as states and the system profit on this, and under those circumstances, justice goes out the window.

Dear Assemblymembers and State Senators:
We have to stop children and parents from taking their own lives because their pleas are not being heard in family court because no one is listening to their Parental Alienation stories.
