Every year, after a divorce, hundreds of thousands of children , loose contact with one of their two parents.
It would be legitimate to forbid custody or visitation rights to a parent, if he/she had been condemned for a crime which could put the child in danger.
But a denied access is almost systematical in a divorce. Hostage taking perpetrated by one of the parents is only too common – and almost never punished.
It is not normal; it is unhealthy.
A few European countries, condoning the parental kidnapping, do not respect the natural love a child has towards both his/her parents. They are scornful of Human rights, Children rights and International Conventions.
Two parents whose children disappeared through a parental kidnapping started, on the 25th of April, a long walk from the European Parliament of Brussels to the seat of Strassburg. They will arrive in Strassburg on the 21st of May, together with parents and international associations. They will have the privilege to be accompanied by the author Karin Jäckel.
At the doors of the EP, they will be welcomed by:
- Mr Libicki, President of the Commission of Petitions,
- Mr McMillan Scott, Vice President of the EP,
- Mrs Brepoels, Belgian MeP,
- Mr Rogalski, Polish MeP .
More and more parents are sharing the story of their woes with the EP, in the hope that it will put some pressure on lazy judges, incompetent civil servants; against States which do not act or which, through their silence, condone the crimes they were meant to prevent.
On this 21st of May, we shall give thousands of signatures to the responsible peoples of the European Union. Hundreds of stories are linked to those signatures, and show the inacceptable short comings of the family law, as it is applied in Europe.
We invite the Press, on the 21st of May, at 11h30, in front of the City Hall of Strassburg (1, Place de l’Etoile), for the start of the last leg of our journey which will take us, at 13h30, to the EP (at the door of Louise Weil Building).
