An Act proclaiming April 25th of each year to be Parental Alienation Awareness Day

This bill (HD 4055) is a symbolic resolution designating April 25th of each year as "Parental Alienation Awareness Day" in Massachusetts. It does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes parental alienation - a pattern where one parent manipulates a child to reject the other - as a form of emotional harm affecting children. The resolution urges Massachusetts residents to help raise awareness about this issue, which involves behaviors like badmouthing a parent or limiting contact, potentially causing long-term harm to children. It applies broadly to all residents and focuses solely on increasing public awareness, not on changing legal procedures or providing services.
