Rejected petition Automatic loss of parental responsibility when someone is proved to be abusive

I would like perpetrators of domestic abuse to automatically loose parental responsibility when there is evidence of abuse and would be a risk if exposed to a child or other parent

More details

A lot of children are forced to be in contact with abusive parents and are mentally and physically abused. I think if someone poses a risk to a child or other parent they shouldn’t be allowed contact or control over the child and other parent. A lot of abusers use parental responsibility as a way to continue control and abuse and this causes a lot of problems not only for the safe parent but also the child.
