Make parental alienation a criminal offence
We want the Government to make Parental Alienation a criminal offence. We believe deliberately turning a child against a loving parent is emotional abuse. The law should make it an offence, train professionals to identify it, and hold offenders accountable to protect children’s rights.
Make child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence
We call on the Government to update child protection and family law by making child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence.
Review punishment of Child Sex Offences
Review sentencing to ensure penalties reflect the severity and long-term harm of child sexual abuse. Offenders convicted of child sexual offences must serve their full terms in Category B prisons or higher. There should also be mandatory lifetime registration and electronic monitoring.
Make smacking a child a specific offence
I want the government or parliament to ban parents from smacking a child as this shouldn't be an acceptable form of punishment.
Make catfishing a specific criminal offence under coercive control laws
I want the Government to acknowledge not just the financial damage, but the emotional damage that can be caused by someone who uses lies and manipulation to obtain money, property, a caretaker and the mental health of another human being by means of deception and creating a fake identity.
