Rejected petition Childrens Right to Association

More details

Human rights form a basic level of protection for society, Children's rights aim to protect those most vulnerable, our children.

They are law, pre defined and not up for debate in our modern society. A basic entitlement.

I wish to highlight frequent unpunished breaches to this right in our society.

My sole aim is to highlight a child has the right to association with both biological parents.

If this right is withheld by a parent with sole custody why is this not addressed, ignored by social services and somehow flexible and misunderstood in society.

If you break a human right there is a punishment, right?

I want this to be debated, from a very basic level.
