California Affiliate Observes Parental Alienation Awareness Day with Jason Patric By Rita Fuerst Adams, National Executive Director, National Parents Organization Jason Patric As part of its support for National Parental Alienation Day, National Parents Organization is joining Jason Patric, founder of Stand Up for Gus, for a press conference at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 25 on the south lawn of the Los Angeles City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California. Michelle Glogovac, Chair of National Parents Organization’s California Executive Committee, will be joined by other members of our California Executive Committee at this event, which is intended to increase awareness of the impact parental alienation has on children and parents. According to Glogovac, “National Parents Organization of California is working hard at legal and legislative reform to ensure that shared parenting becomes the norm and not the exception. Jason has been present in Gus’ life for three years, parenting him and participating in the role of father, but that came to an abrupt halt when the mother filed for a restraining order and had a judge deny Jason’s parental rights to Gus, as well as Gus’ right to spend time with his father. This was a one-sided decision that not only Jason has to live with, but Gus is living with as well.” Stand Up for Gus is dedicated to raising monetary support for alienated parents desperately trying to maintain a meaningful relationship with their children for family law reform. Both National Parents Organization and Stand Up for Gus are seeking family law reform establishing equal rights for all parents and to protect every child’s right to equal time with both parents.

In my previous piece on the Blue Ribbon Commission’s report on the hapless state of child protective efforts in Los Angeles County, I neglected one important shortcoming of a system that has too many to count.

It was just a few days ago that California Assemblyman Tim Donnelly said that, if it were up to him, he’d scrap the entire Child Protective Services system in the state and start over. This report doesn’t go quite that far, but it gets close. But even at that, it fails to recommend reforms many have been calling for over many years. Read more...
