OUR CHILDREN DID NOT ENLIST

Created by TQ Mental Health and Social Service Advocacy
Whereas we plead for the Judicial Courts and Federal Government to recognize the best interest of the child still applies to Active-Duty Military children. Children across America are losing their biological parents due to their Active-Duty Parents receiving “Accompanied” orders which exclude the Non-Military parent from accompanying the children. It is at this point that the Non-Military parent becomes legally alienated, and many children end up suffering from abandonment syndrome. This has a large impact on the mental health of these children. It is a fact that a child who loses one parent are at much higher risk for suicide, substance abuse, homelessness, and behavior disorders. Our Federal Government needs to ensure these children can have the meaningful relationship that they are entitled to - with BOTH parents. The Federal Government should provide for the Non-Military Parent's travel expenses and visits to see their children on special occasions (i.e., graduation, religious ceremonies, etc.). Currently, the military prevents the non-custodial parent from having ANY access to medical records, school information or functions, and mental health care needs. The military essentially assists in legal kidnapping and Parental Alienation, which is frowned upon in civilian courts. How can we allow the violation of the rights of our children who deserve BOTH parents? There is a time-worn expression that says, "the military didn't assign you a family". Well, our children did not enlist.
