Rejected petition Make it a criminal offence to use children as weapons to punish ex partners
Too often are women being allowed to use their children to reflect their own personal issues. They are not thinking about the child in any way and are preventing men from being fathers by claiming domestic abuse, fear or other dead cert ways of stopping access via courts.
PUT A STOP TO THIS NOW.
More details
In 2015 a close friend suffered the breakdown of his relationship with "his" child. His ex girlfriend allowed her daughter to call him dad for years until they split up using her as emotional blackmail. This destroyed him and she claimed her daughter was a mess too - because of him. This wasnt true it was her who stopped access as she was no longer wanted by him. He was not a danger to her child at all and she made her child suffer too. This man is now dead.
How many more dad's have to suffer?
