Hayes backs PAPA campaign

A Long Sutton dad’s campaign has received the backing of the local MP.

Simon Cobb is the man behind PAPA (People Against Parental Alienation) which is calling for equality between divorcing parents in terms of children.
He’s looking to meet a host of MPs to get them to sign a shirt in what he describes as ‘the next stage’ of his campaign.
The first was South Holland and the Deepings MP Sir John Hayes.
“I had a very productive meeting with Sir John, who not only agreed to help with my personal situation regarding my son’s school but also has shown great support for PAPA and our members going forward.
“We spoke at length about removing incentives to alienate and creating legislation and policies that make equal parenting far more viable.
“The end goal is to minimise parental alienation and make sure children are always given the opportunity to have a relationship with both parents.
“The campaign starts here with Sir John Hayes being the first to sign our PAPA Tour T-shirt as an endorsement of our hard work and what we are fighting for.”
