Dear Senators:
I am writing concerning Parental Rights and address this to you as you were a sponsor, co-sponsor, or historically a co-sponsoring state. I have enclosed information on PRRA and Title IVd reform from the https://nymensactionnetwork.org web site which I encourage you to review and to support reform of the system which is destroying families in America to the detriment of children.
Parents, regardless of marital status, have seen their parental rights slowly eroded under the guise of “the best interest of the child”. A couple in Washington State brought before the court by child protective for sending their child to church twice on Sunday, and ordered that once is enough. A couple in Albany, NY brought in by the school district and ordered to place their child on drugs for A.D.D for deciding to try alternatives first. A father, labelled “non custodial” denied access to his daughter by police and prosecutors only to see her killed, https://nymensactionnetwork.org/2018/05/20/its-a-childs-best-interest-to-be-neglected-abused-or-killed-by-sole-custody/. Unfortunately, these are not isolated instances of denial of parental rights.
Daily courts remove children from a parent, resulting in millions of American children removed from parents by states desire to maximize reimbursements under Title IVd, which states readily admit to, most recently in Illinois (video making the rounds on social media). It drives both divorces and out of wedlock births, and even provides incentives for women to have children with multiple fathers. Combined with father bias, this system has resulted in 40% of Americas children living apart from their father.
It is widely recognized that single parent households result in harm to children, abuse, neglect, poverty and strains on the budget to provide programs to assist these broken families. It is an ironic conundrum that the government provides the incentives to create single parent homes fostering bigger government to “solve” the problems they created. One must certainly suspect this a design of an oppressive moral busybody Orwellian government looking to enlarge itself at the expense of individual parents. https://nymensactionnetwork.org/2018/07/02/parents-declare-your-independence-from-a-despotic-government/
It’s time to reform this system of injustice and restore Parental Rights.
Sincerely,
Encls: Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act, Title IVd SSA Reform, Fix Federal Child support Laws to Lower Welfare Costs

I am a product of child alienation and have watched my step children become one also. its real and its harmful. Fathers need to be treated like humans instead of a ATM. fathers have commited suicide because of these policies. false accusations. the goverment rewards single mothers and make fathers into the villians. there is one male domestic violence shelter in this country. why? men are battered 1 out of 5. stop the war on dads
This should be law all over the world and the reason why is because men are always being made out to be deadbeat dads but you take our rights away and wonder why men want to leave.
