Petition Make it an offence for a parent to stop child contact with the other parent

There are many parents who use their children as weapons in disputes with their exes. Bitterness between adults should not interfere in a childs upbringing. Stopping a childs contact with the other parent because of anger is child abuse & neglect. Emotional needs are as important as physical needs.

More details

If there is a danger to the child them obviously this is a different scenario but children should not be stopped having contact with either parent because 'mummy is very angry with daddy' and vice versa.
