April 22, 2024 Group Watch: Gov Ivey Creates “Parental Alienation Awareness Day”
Governor Kay Ivey and State Rep. Kenneth Paschal came together to proclaim April 25 as “Parental Alienation Awareness Day” and April 21 through April 27 as “Parental Alienation Prevention Week.” The proclamation and its accompanying initiative are meant to help demonstrate the importance of allowing children to share love with both parents without any fear or guilt. The campaign also highlights the link between parental alienation and child abuse, emphasizing the mental harm children may experience as a result. An estimated 40,000 children in Alabama annually endure court-mandated visitation with one parent for only two to six days a month.
