Closed petition: Revoke Parental Responsibility & Rights from Sexually Abusive Parents

Closed on

Revoke parental responsibility and rights from parents who sexually abuse their children. We need to be our children's voices and protect them at all costs.

The National Police Chief's Council found that CSAE within the family environment remains a common form of reported abuse, accounting for an estimated 33% of reported contact CSAE crime. Parents and siblings were the two most common relationships featuring. Currently, parents who sexually abuse their own child get to the keep their parental responsibility to that child and any other child they have mothered/fathered.
