Bigger consequences for absent fathers that take no responsibility for the child
I think more consequences should be put in place in the uk for fathers who take no responsibility for there child if they are the natural father & have no child or violence criminal offences. Help financially provide even if just on universal credit & holding them accountable for the children too.
I think this would help the birth rate in the uk to drop, less single parent family’s needing to apply for benefits for financial support , teenage girls not getting pregnant in the future as much or been manipulated by these men and been left to raise a child alone less parents having to help raise grandchildren later in life I think this would make men take fatherhood more seriously and use protection bigger consequences would make them make better decisions and this can help future generation

Make it a legal offence for a parent to be absent from their child's life.
