Closed petition Automatically remove parental responsibility for those who abuse their children

Closed on

Make the law better for victims of sexual abuse and rape by family members. There is no automatic protection for people who are the victims of abuse and this needs to change.

It is not fair that a victim has to suffer a rape or sexual abuse from their own family members and they still have parental responsibility. If convicted it needs to be taking away automatically, which could help more victims come forward.

they need to have support in place instead of young people trying kill them selfs after these incident have taken place.remove it immediately if evidnece is showing its true.
