Make the laws tighter. Give out prison sentences for women who like about domestic abuse and women who illegally keep children alienated from other parent. Also help more fathers and men who are the victims of abuse get heard especially in court.

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.

Perverting the course of justice, which would include lying to the police about domestic abuse, is already a criminal offence that can result in a custodial sentence.

Investigating and prosecuting cases of perverting the course of justice is a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Make parental alienation a criminal offence: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/565101

It's not clear what you want the Government or House of Commons to do to support men who are victims of abuse. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
