Manatee County recognizes parental alienation

Many thanks to our county commissioners and the Bradenton City Council for the proclamations in recognizing the destructive practice of parental alienation.

April is Parental Alienation Month with April 25 begin Parental Alienation Day.

Over 22 million parents are affected by parental alienation in the U.S. alone. It is time to hold the parents who target the other parent accountable within the judicial system, where often starts alienation in our family courts. Parental alienation is child abuse, period.

It's time to stop the suffering at the cost of our children.

Recipients of the proclamations:

Glen Gibellina, Founder, Why Dads Matter Danica Jones, Executive Director, Kids Need Both Bradenton
