This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Children are not being detained in Government facilities and there are no plans to detain children against parents' wishes. In most cases, medical treatment and testing already needs parental consent. We therefore don't know what you want to happen.
