To implement a Child Domestic Abuse Law.
It's positive that children are recognised as victims in their own right.
We however observe that there is no particular guidance on how this application, should impact decision making for social services, CAFCASS or indeed the Courts. We are asking for this to change.
The current law gives children no rights. Protective legislation will uphold their voices on matters that affect them.
We want paramount consideration that even if the perpetrator has not been directly abusive to the child. Growing up in an environment of hostility and abuse, whether it physical, psychological, emotional or sexual, will mean the child is a victim not just from being present in the home but from seeing the parent who is a victim suffer whether that be physically or emotionally.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
There is already legislation relating to the domestic abuse of children, and we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like the Government or Parliament to make to the law.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
