Make it illegal for a parent to be absent from their child's life

Petition Details

We want the Government to make it illegal for a parent to be absent from their child's life. This should be a punishable offence. An absent parent refers to anyone with parental responsibility for a child who fails to maintain contact with their child.

Additional Information

Child abandonment occurs when a parent, guardian, or person in charge of a child deserts a child without any regard for the child's physical health, safety or welfare. Emotional abandonment is when a parent offers little or no physical contact or emotional support over long periods of time. We want this to be made illegal for all people with parental responsibility.
