Against the forced extradition of minors for indoctrination and punishment
This is a petition to make it an offence for any parent to force a child in their protection overseas for the purpose of 'education' (as opposed to consensually sending to a recognised educational institution with a broad-spectrum curriculum) and/or as a form of punishment.
I am a carer to a young man who was sent to Pakistan by his parents and forced into a madrasa (an Islamic qu'ranic school) where he suffered frequent physical abuse.
It is time for the government to examine the motives and consequences of parents who forcibly extradite their children overseas.
Parents should not be permitted to send their children abroad for these purposes as a result of their lack of parenting skills, thereby putting a child at unnecessary risk of abuse and indoctrination in another jurisdiction.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
