Anti-parental alienation campaigner concludes tour at Ipswich Crown Court
PAPA founder Simon Cobb completed his eight-leg Death Penalty Campaign demonstration at Ipswich Crown Court yesterday, with displays set to remain until February 25.
Why it matters: The demonstration is part of a wider campaign by People Against Parental Alienation (PAPA) to "raise awareness of the untimely deaths linked to contact denial and parental alienation."
The details: The Ipswich demonstration marks the final location in an eight-venue campaign across East Anglia and the East Midlands.
- A sign reading "Say no to the death penalty: Loving your child is not a crime!" was installed outside the courthouse, along with flower wreaths.
- Previous demonstrations were held at courts in Peterborough, Leicester, Boston, Nottingham, King's Lynn, Cambridge, and Bury St Edmunds.
The bigger picture: PAPA's stated mission includes:
- Providing free support and resources for affected parents
- Promoting equal parenting rights after separation
- Campaigning for legislative changes around parental alienation
- Creating deterrents for false allegations
- Raising awareness of parental alienation issues
- Reducing stigma around men's mental health
What's next: The campaign materials will remain at Ipswich Crown Court until February 25. Cobb hopes to take the demonstrations to Norwich and Huntingdon, but dates have not been confirmed.
The bottom line: The demonstration is part of PAPA's wider mission to raise awareness about parental alienation and campaign for changes to family court processes. You can find out more about PAPA on their website.
