What the petition asks

For decades family courts have run in secret. Being founder of a Facebook group and co founder if naap we have noticed there are many failings behind the family courts. Our belief is for the best interest of children and mental wellbeing there should be a public enquiry. Maybe learn the lessons
Suicides mental health and coersive ptsd amongst adults
Suicide self harm mental health alcohol abuse drug abuse fear low self esteem and other amongst young children to teen and young adult
Research has shown adults through the family court are twice as likely to take thier lives
Reasearch has shown the effects of the above amongst young children to teen and indeed young adults
