Parental Alienation isn’t a buzz-word. The American Bar reports that the concept has appeared in US cases since the early 19th century: https://shorturl.at/mvGLP

Children thrive when they have both parents in their lives!

Something to keep in mind.

Parental alienation is a serious problem. It’s never ok and we have to stand up and address it head on.

Do therapists and courts recognize these cases? Do they respond effectively?

The Broken Puzzle: Why Both Parents Matter in a Child's Life

Imagine a child's life as a beautiful puzzle. Each piece – a parent, a grandparent, a teacher – fits together to create a complete picture of love, support, and growth. But what happens when a crucial piece is missing? What happens when a child is forced to navigate life with an incomplete puzzle, a gaping hole where a parent should be?

Studies show that having both parents present in a child's life, regardless of marital status, brings invaluable benefits:

Emotional stability: Children thrive on the love and security provided by both parents. This dual support system bolsters their confidence and allows them to better handle life's challenges.

Cognitive development: Each parent offers unique perspectives and experiences, enriching a child's understanding of the world and fostering intellectual growth.

Social awareness: Witnessing healthy co-parenting teaches children valuable lessons about communication, empathy, and conflict resolution.

Reduced risk of negative outcomes: Research suggests that children raised with both parents present are less likely to experience behavioral problems, academic difficulties, and mental health issues.

Sadly, not all children have the privilege of this complete puzzle. Custody battles, divorce, and family dynamics can leave voids that no one person can fully fill.

At Children First, we believe every child deserves to experience the richness of having both parents present in their lives. We work tirelessly to advocate for positive co-parenting solutions, bridge communication gaps, and provide resources to families navigating complex situations.

This holiday season, let's commit to building a world where no child's puzzle remains incomplete. Support our work to reunite families and ensure every child has the chance to grow with love and guidance from both parents.

Donate today and your donation will be matched by a generous donor!

Together, we can make a difference. Let's create a future where every child's puzzle is whole, vibrant, and full of possibility.

It doesn't have to be this way. Children need both of their parents in their lives when safe and possible.

Wrongfully accused parents shouldn't be forced to miss milestones. We'll keep working to stop this from happening!

“I’m grateful to have found a community who gets it,” Bradley says. “Even my best, closest friends don’t fully understand what I’m going through. I’ve thought about quitting. Everything started to change when I met Scott and got plugged in to this group of people.”

This is another tragic story of the legal system itself being used as a means for abuse and destruction of the parent/child relationship. In the wrong hands, it becomes a weapon of war instead of a tool of justice, integrity, and the preservation of constitutional rights.

Children First aims to correct these failures in individual cases like Bradley’s through access to honest and ethical legal support and providing awareness to the atrocities that take place within the domestic relations system, which ultimately undermine and neglect the true needs of children involved.

We also provide a strong community of devoted parents with similar stories when you just need someone to talk to.

Bradley Dorsett was dumbfounded when the police in his front yard advised him to turn himself in. They had been dispatched to his home to investigate a ‘neighbor’s’ report of domestic violence and discovered he had two separate warrants sworn out against him for harassment and harassing commun...
