WHEREAS: these behaviors, such as speaking negatively about a parent to or in front of a child, interfering with communication and visitation, and discussing inappropriate information with a child, such as details of the marriage, court proceedings, or financial matters, can not only destroy the bond between a loving parent and child, but can cause mental and emotional harm to the child; and
WHEREAS: Parental Alienation takes advantage of the suggestibility and dependency of children; and
WHEREAS: Parental Alienation deprives children of their right to love and be loved by both parents; and
