Automatically strip parents who murder children of parental responsibility

Closed 68 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to strip people who are convicted of murdering children of parental rights and responsibility over their own children.
We believe children should not have to go through court processes to remove the parental responsibility of biological parents who have been convicted of this offence and should not need to consult with their biological parent if they want to travel the World. All I ask is that once they are convicted, the parent is stripped of all parental rights and responsibility to their children.
