Closed Implement a detection system to stop parental abduction of children leaving U.K

Closed on

The government needs to implement a no nonsense approach to stopping one parent abducting a child to another country at Airports and all points of travel especially holiday seasons. Systems as such already exist in Canada, US and even in the Middle East.

Government needs to make sure kids cannot leave from the U.K without the consent of both parents
