Stop Courts from granting care orders based on suspected risk of future harm.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe current laws on removing children from parents are outdated and unjust. Currently a court can grant a care order removing children from their parents if they are 'likely to suffer harm'. This can mean children can be removed even if they have come to no harm.

It's ridiculous the amount of families, Good families that have been broken up due to this and it needs to stop. Everyone is suffering but more so the children. Children are growing up confused and angry due to not knowing the truth or being able to live at home with their biological parents.
