Our Campaign
We decided to base our campaign on the themes of parental alienation and youth crime and the eye-catching design of our campaign leaflet has already attracted positive attention.
Parental Alienation is a particularly nasty form of behaviour by selfish parents that is unfortunately ignored (or even encouraged) by the Scottish family law system.
Thousands of Scottish children are denied a parent, a pair of grandparents or the rest of their extended family for no good reason – and we hope to draw attention to their plight by our campaign.
You can read a real life story of a father and daughter who were victims of parental alienation in Mike’s Story.
It certainly wasn’t easy choosing parental alienation as our main focus, we could have concentrated solely on the problems of fatherless families and the rise of youth crime, grandparents who are denied any contact with their grandchildren, the failure of this government to do anything about our dysfunctional family law system or simply the many failings of the judicial system itself.
Although Scotland has a separate legal system to England and Wales, unfortunately the problems in family law are virtually identical as the different laws are implemented just as badly. You can read more about these issues on our main Equal Parenting Alliance web site.
