Mikey's Law
Target:
Congress
Sponsored by:
~ A better world begins with our children; when we screw them up we don't stand a chance. ~
Mikey's Law is enforced when a parent uses their child/children as a pawn to manipulate or punish the other parent. This is all too common and needs to be stopped!
Such cases often happen before court appointed child support and custody are in place, though unfortunately this behavior can continue for years after. Often times children are coerced and coached to say hurtful or manipulative things to the other parent. They may also be denied visitation; kept from the other parent for an extended amount of time, in person or by telephone.
A parent should not have to call in for a well-fare check by local law enforcement just to know his/her child is still alive. Children should not be used to "one-up" the other parent due to jealousy. There are many ways in which this can occur.
Many harmful affects from this can damage a child. This kind of parental behavior is unjustifiable and detrimental to any child. It should not be tolerated. In the end, it is the child that loses and hurts the most.
Any parent that can be proved to have done such action/s should be rightfully punished. That be by jail time, fine, and/or community service, and parenting class.
Children who have been victim to such behavior should be monitored in a way with counseling to insure such parental behavior has not permanently affected the child.
If the behavior continues by the parent, the child should be taken out of his/her custody until further evaluation and/or a longer punishment has occurred.
The pain of a parent being kept from their children is truly the worst pain a parent can suffer. It is also equally painful for the child. Such love for a child should never be played in such way to hurt a child or another human being.
We must give our children a chance to live normal and healthy lives without our own greed, jealousy and vindictiveness getting in the way of the rights of the children involved.
On behalf of Mikey and kids everywhere, thank you for signing this petition and doing your part to change lives for the better!
Have a wonderful day!

Im seeing children suffer from this as we speak and it is very heart breaking. These children are our gifts and we need to cherish them and they need to know that both of their parents love them dearly. I worry about the affect it will have on them in the long run.We need to put a stop to it before its to late.

I am presently going through this right now. I live in Bermuda and my 10 year old son has been taken from his home. His sister who is 13 years old misses him terribly and we have not been able to have any visits with him on our own because Family Services have only given us Supervisised access which both my son and I believe is more detrimental to our relationship to cooperate with them under these terms when they absolutely have no evidence to support their allegation. My son's father reported me to them because of his own personal vendetta against me, but he has hurt our son to the point that he is now depressed and has told me so himself. I collect a little boy from the same school that my son attends and I get to see him briefly and he is so distant and withdrawn, I Can't believe that Family Services can't see it and even if they do, they are turning a blind eye to his pain that he is suffering in this process. I have not been given a fair trial in court to date, one year into the case, and can't even get a lawyer to represent me! How strange is that???!! Bermuda justice system is so corrupt it is scarey, I feel so trapped and helpless. MY poor son must be asking himself why can't my Mom come and rescue me. He had a visit with his sister this weekend past April, 2009 for the first time in a year at his father's house, of course, and she was clever enough to get Michael (Mikey!) to write down his answers to some questions that she asked him!!! He said he wanted to come back home, and that his Dad is mean and she asked him what he meant by that and he said that his Dad bangs him with a belt sometimes and she said Oh no, do you want to come home with Mom and me and he said Yes do I ever!! Now how much can my son be put through before someone listens to his cry for help! Please is there anything you can do to help Michael????? I dont' know where to turn. I have written letters to Oprah, to President Obama, CBS, looking for someone to air my story and make the authorities do the right thing by our family and make his father get help. He has even convinced the courts that I need a psychological assessment? OMG, what next is he going to try to keep me from my son? Please help us.

I have sole custody of my children, with generous visitation to their father. Not once have I interfered with their visitation or phone contact, yet my ex is manipulating the court system to accuse ME of PAS. Meanwhile, whenever he has visitation, up to 5 days at a time, he refuses to let them call me, he doesn't pick up his phone, he doesn't answer emails. He goes out of town with a days notice, leaving me to scramble for childcare while I'm working, and will not tell me when he is returning so that at a moment's notice he can show up at my door and take the kids if it's "his time". If we are not where he expects us to be, he calls police and runs to the court claiming PAS. He tells the children that I'm a liar, that I'm a loser, and that I'm trying to take them away from him, and for the last 4 years, the courts have not even slapped him on the wrist. They've said and done nothing. OUR FAMILY COURT SYSTEM NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL, as they are doing IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE to our children with their ignorance and lack of follow through!!! Just because their are no bruises and broken bones does NOT mean that abuse is not happening! Emotional abuse is just as, if not more harmful than physical abuse, but the courts won't recognize it until it is too late to prevent it or repair it completely. Please help me protect my children, and hold their father accountable for his emotionally abusive behavior!!

Oh boy........I know this situation extremely well. Parental Alienation Syndrome is SO DETRIMENTAL to a child's health, it should be grounds for that parent to be arrested and charged........I seen first hand what PAS and using a child as a pawn can do, and have to go thru therapy w/ MY CHILD for YEARS to repair the DAMAGE IT HAS CAUSED. THIS IS SERIOUS AND CPS AND THE POLICE SHOULD BE BETTER TRAINED TO NOTICE IT AND TAKE ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going through this with my new husband. His ex seems to find any excuse to keep his boy from seeing him. When he has time with the boy, she finds reasons why he can't see him. She thinks anything she does is right when she is hurting the boy. It seems like the mother can say anything and get away with it and the fathers are just looked at as losers. I think the ex is jealous and doesn't want him happy so she has to hurt him and try to take his happiness away. He left her and so now she is using the boy to take it out on him. I wish I could help, but I know I can't do anything about it, but I know the boy is hurt because of it.

I don't like the fact that parent's use there children to get what they want or as a meal ticket, that isn't what GOD put them here for!!! they are GIFT's from GOD! He gave us these precious baby's to love, nurture,care for and protect! NOT to use as a Pawn against the other parent!! Not to mention that it messes the children up so profoundly that sometimes the damage that is caused, causes destructive behavior later on in life!!! these children have trust isues, they learn to lie to get attention, some become withdrawn, they can even lash out in anger..If you LOVE YOU'R CHILDREN, you will not put them through this. KEEP YOU'R CHILDREN OUT OF ADULT PROBLEMS!!! THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND THE OTHER ADULT!! TO SUM THIS ALL UP, QUIT BEING CHILDISH AND HANDLE YOU'R PROBLEMS LIKE THE ADULT YOU CLIAM YOU ARE, AND LEAVE OUR CHILDREN OUT OF IT,QUIT USING THEM AS A TOOL, BECAUSE YOU'R MESSING UP THERE LITTLE LIVES!!!!!

I understand this because my daughter and her son who is 4 years old is going thru this now. No, kid should go without talking to their mother who loves their child very much. It is a long story how this happened but it isn't right to make the child suffer because their parents couldn't get along so for the best they split us.

I don't like it when any parent uses a child against anyone whether it is another parent or grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin. Let's stop the jealousy NOW. Children DO NOT need to suffer for the mistake of their parents.

A child should be surrounded and shielded by love. Especially by the people that the child considers as role models, namely his/her parents. In cases of separation/divorce it is a DUTY of the parent having custody of the child, to make sure that the child KNOWS that the other parent loves him/her as much as the parent having custody. It should be MADE CLEAR to the child that the differences between the child's parents do NOT affect the love his/her parents feel for him/her IN ANY WAY. Not only the child should NOT be used as a pawn, not only the "absent" parent should NOT be accused, defamed or belittled in any way in the eyes of the child, but the parent-custodian should make it a practice to emphasize often to the child that the "absent" parent loves him/her as much as the parent-custodian him/herself! I have to consider one more point: Special care should be taken when a child is the only "witness" of the wrong-doer parent's actions. For a child having to testify against his/her own parent (with any consequences his/her testimony might have) is a very traumatic experience for a child, that may escort him/her for a very long time.

This is a real epidemic in this country. Check out PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME. If a parent can not put their own children before their personal feelings toward the child's other parent, then they have no business rasing that child on their own. Their contact with the child should be limited to supervised visitation by a trained professional until that behavior can be corrected and the parent has shown they can properly care for the child. PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME = VERBAL/MENTAL ABUSE ALSO KNOWN AS CHILD ABUSE!

I've never had to deal with anything like this, but i do have a son and a child on the way, and I know that if I couldnt see them I would be devastated. How anyone can use their kids as a pawn against their father or mother is just dispicable.

I have two really good friends that I have seen this happen to. They are in constant turmoil over the fact that their ex's choose to hold their children over their head and find ways to hurt them.

Children are too often USED by adults for their own selfish motivations; this needs to stop!

Several of my friends have had this same problem. They have spent thousand of dollars and years fighting just to see their children. No parent should have to go through that.

I am so sick of any form of child abuse. It is totally out of control. The laws are getting a little better but they still have a long way to go to protect our children.
