Stop abusers manipulating the system with temporary good behaviour or false alienation claims, and ensure genuine abuse is fully investigated","additional_details":"Courts and Cafcass are failing. Safe parents protecting children are wrongly labeled \"alienators,\" while abusers weaponize fake alienation claims. Automatic contact progression must stop; currently, abusers know they can do whatever they want and get contact anyway. This failure forces victims to stay in abusive relationships to protect children from the inside, rather than leaving only for courts to hand dangerous people unsupervised access because the contact threshold is too high.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2026-09-16T20:11:28.768Z","updated_at":"2026-10-12T05:17:06.297Z","rejected_at":"2026-10-12T05:17:03.223Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-16T20:42:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"We think these petitions are very similar to yours: \r\n\r\nLaunch an independent inquiry into family court’s handling of domestic abuse: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/768999\r\n\r\nReview legal & social care use of ‘parental alienation’ and impact on families: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/776648"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
