Rejected petition Make it a criminal offence for a mother to deny a father contact with his child
Rejected on
Mothers who deny contact between their children and the father without due cause should be held accountable. It is a form of child abuse that is not nit taken seriously by family courts. We want justice for the affected children whose mothers think they can play god with the child's life.
