Closed petition Make parental alienation a criminal offence

Parental alienation is real, and children are suffering at the expense of one parent getting what they want. This needs to be made a criminal offence, so parents can be prosecuted for it.

More details

The Government is not supporting parents who suffer from parental alienation. Some parents are having contact with their children cut off for no valid reason. This should not be allowed, and if a parent is found to cut contact they should face prosecution. Taking legal action through the family courts can be difficult and costly, and making parental alienation a criminal offence should make this unnecessary. Too many children are losing out on loving parents due to parental alienation.
