Every child deserves the right to both parents if both are willing to offer their love to that child. ParentalAlienation denies a child that basic human right -'The deliberate manipulation of a childs mind'.
20,000+ children a year may be affected by Alienation in the UK, however it is not recognized in the UK courts. 5% of children involved in separation will experience it.
