23 Mar FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
On March 21, 2018, Governor Kay Ivey of Alabama signed a proclamation declaring April 25, 2018 as Parental Alienation Awareness “Bubbles For Love” Day and April 22 through April 28, 2018 as Parental Alienation Prevention Week.
Kenneth Paschal, State President ALFRA, U.S. First Sergeant – Retired, Exchange Club of Shelby County board member; Karen Jones, Whom It Concerns, Inc., CEO & Founder; Tim Smith, ALFRA Past President, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey; Stacy Hopkins, Executive Director, Birmingham Exchange Club Child Abuse Prevention Center; and Ralph Brooks, ALFRA board member.
This proclamation by Alabama Governor acknowledges:
- “Parental Alienation is a term used to describe any number of behaviors and attitudes on the part of one parent, both parents or third party designed to interfere, damage or destroy the relationship a child has with their other parent.
- Alienating behaviors are frequently seen in high-conflict divorces, separations and asymmetrical custody arrangements but can occur in intact marriages;
- Parental Alienation deprives children of their right to freely love and be loved by both parents, their extended families and robs children of their sense of security;”
The proclamation also acknowledges on April 25, 2018 at noon, bubbles will be used to present the love children have for both of their parents.
Data shows that we do not value the importance of the parent/child relationship enough. It is harming our kids, our families, our communities, and our state. The primary goal of the Alabama Family Rights Association is to educate the public and government officials concerning the importance of equal involvement of both fit parents in a child’s life which promotes the value of a child to be able to love and be loved by both parents. We encourage you to help us in spreading our message through your participation in this year’s “Bubbles for Love” campaign. A special thanks to Governor Ivey and her support of the children and families of Alabama.
