Overhaul of parental rights law for perpetrators of heinous crimes

The Issue

This petition headline covers the perpetrators of heinous crimes to have parental rights revoked at point of judicial sentencing.
There will be exceptions ie: murder/manslaughter  through proved self defence.
Murder of parent of children by other parent of the children to be a starting point. Once this is in place we can dive through the family court system and make it fit for purpose. Children of this crime become instantly orphaned, the local authority are granted PR (parental responsibility) along with the perpetrator who retains their PR. Yes you have read this correctly…. Perpetrators retain PR. This creates further unnecessary trauma for the children that are already traumatised from the murder of their loved one. Retaining PR does NOT mean they can have contact or visits with their children BUT it does mean that they are involved in the family court proceedings and have a say on who can care for the children. 

Where are the human rights of the children and all victims

I asked to apply for guardianship of my murdered daughters children, this was the answer ‘I will have to speak with ** *****’ the murderer.  Can you believe it? Get the murderers permission? WHAT!! There we’re a lot of us in that meeting, we all heard it. Utter disrespect and misery for my murdered daughter, her children and our family � 

Where are Victims Rights? 

If PR can be removed when children are adopted, it can be removed when murder is committed. 

If a judicial mistake is made then PR can be reinstated. It’s Not difficult and not rocket science. 

The VICTIMS are being treated like the criminals. 
It is now time for the perpetrators to be treated as perpetrators. 
We are Gemma’s voice.
We know what Gemma wanted.

Let common sense prevail….. please sign and share, share, share. Let’s do this and watch it cascade into family court.
