Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I think this would be highly upsetting mentally and emotionally for the child & parent. It should not even be question. It would be damaging to both parties

Because I know this as come in to question. Mentally it would cause so much damage to child it would be devastating. This shouldn’t of even been implemented or discussed or brought guests by children’s commissioners. As parent of a shy child. Clingy and loving it would break her heart and mine. And it would all parents. It inhuman!

Why it was rejected

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

Children are not being detained and there are no plans to detain children. In most cases, medical treatment and testing already needs parental consent. We therefore don't know what you want to happen.
