Petition - Deliberate disruption of a child's attachment bond with a safe parent is domestic abuse

Keeping children safe is about protecting children from emotional harm and psychological abuse.

The pathogenic act of attempting to destroy a child's innate attachment bond with one of their safe parents, post separation, causes them immense emotional harm. In the confines of an alienating environment, the child effectively becomes a psychological hostage, unable to be their own authentic free and beautiful self. Unable to express and show their deep love for one of their own parents.

The psychological manipulation of a child by one parent (or primary caregiver) which can ultimately lead to the 'rejection' of a previously warm loving relationship with their other parent, fractures a vital attachment bond and creates an emotional vortex many children never recover from.

Our Government needs to protect all victims of domestic abuse and, therefore, protect all children from harm. This is not, nor ever has been, a 'fathers rights' or 'mothers rights' issue. Nor is it a gender issue. Alienating parents can be either mothers or fathers. Nor is it a residency (custody) issue, although that's where it usually arises from. It is a serious child protection issue. Protecting children and loving safe normal range parents from abuse, cannot be ignored a moment longer. This petition affects all of us and it affects the future our own children and grandchildren will grow up in.
