Rejected petition Change law on children not giving consent to hugs/kisses and give them a voice

I'm looking at trying to get child consent taken more serious. I teach my children about their body and how they have the right to say NO to hugs/kisses ect. In adults if a person kisses someone after saying no it's sexaul harassment but in children its overlooked as unwanted affection.

More details

I'd like this to be treated in the same way it would be in an adult
