Give full rights and ownership of children to their parents. And not the state

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The rights and ownership of our children should belong to their parents not the state. As when you register your child’s birth they become property of the state. This is wrong the rights and ownership of any child should be their parents

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you mean by "Give full rights and ownership of children to their parents. And not the state".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
