Petition Make men take responsibility for their children.

More details

Too many men in the UK are denying paternity of their children or simply just having no involvement in their children's lives. Leaving single mothers to bring up children alone. These men are allowed to do this.
There is no law to stop them.
With changes being made to benefits of single mothers,i feel a new law should be introduced to men who escape responsibilities as their duties as fathers.
Mandatory DNA tests should be part of this scheme for men who refuse paternity, as well as finding jobs for fathers who do nothing to support their children.
Single parent women have more responsibilities than just raising a child, it is not easy and it is not fair that men are ALLOWED to run away.
IT IS TIME TO CHANGE!
