Petition Action

Remove parental responsibility from convicted perpetrators of domestic violence.

Petition Details

We want the Government to automatically remove parental responsibility from convicted perpetrators of domestic violence to ensure the safety of children and victims of domestic violence. I think this would mean children and victims can live freely, not in fear of continually being dragged to court.

Additional Information

The narrative is to 'escape' abuse but the reality is, many find that if they have a child with a perpetrator, they never can. I feel children are not safe in their care. Children have been killed. Women have been killed. I feel abusers continue to abuse their victims through court and by using the one thing that matters to them most, their children.
