Brazilian Parental Alienation Law (English translation)

Brazil’s Parental Alienaton law is in the vanguard. Law No. 12318, FROM 26 AUGUST 2010 is directed against the scourge of parental alienation (). The law is in a very convoluted langluage so machine translation is horrific and totally incomprehensive. Human-Stupidity provides the English translation.
