According to Dictionary.com, the definition of Heritage is “Any right or privilege to which a person is entitled by birth.” So when “grandmother’s rights to grandchildren” is NEVER an issue, we must demand that the press stop until two burning questions are satisfactorily answered:
“How could possibly Would it be better for this child to take away his birthright? “
“What can be done to minimize the devastating effects of the grandparent alienation syndrome?”
These questions should be so far off our radar as to shock and discourage us, and move us to act in a way that speaks boldly for those who cannot … thousands upon thousands of innocent grandchildren, who have no legal rights.
Do we not fondly remember the grandmothers who gave us many of our precious and joyful memories … wise old women who loved us unconditionally? The comfort of his lap as he gently rocked our tears after a scolding from mom or dad … trips to the lake, hike the trails, build sand castles on the beach … ice cream cones and root beer floats .
Sadly, until recently, these have not been the main questions when bringing the rights of grandmothers to grandchildren to light. Instead, mainly in whispers and clandestine gossip, those who say they have not cared just hearing the truth about “what she did to deserve it.”
Then there are the legal eagles, the “experts” who wave their arms and pound the table with their iron fists as they embrace the “sanctity of marriage” clause. Well. In case someone in the back row missed my position on this issue, let me put it clearly and firmly here:
The presumption that two people with a marriage decree – regardless of age, experience, sense of entitlement, family background, mental stability or intention – will in all cases put “the best interest of the child” first, is ridiculous in its belief. face.
More than three-quarters of a million children are victims of physical abuse and neglect each year. Countless millions suffer the consequences of broken homes, verbal and emotional abuse, neglect and abandonment … trust is shattered, nothing is certain.
Tragically, when a child needs his grandmother the most, like a stable and comforting port in the violent storm, she disappears without a trace of her life and is told that she no longer matters, that she no longer cares.
The American family is under attack like never before. Maybe it’s time to turn our backs on the political correctness that has gotten us into this gigantic mess and just use a little common sense. Let’s reverse the Troxel v. Granville Supreme Court decision repealing a federal law giving grandparents rights over their grandchildren.
If a child is to be surgically removed from a life in which unconditional love, passionate protection, and undying loyalty are assured, then it is up to the parent / guardian to demonstrate why it should be done. By enforcing laws on grandmothers’ rights to grandchildren, we guarantee each grandchild their birthright. Anything less is unacceptable.
