'Right' to contact
Flag

I heard on the radio that the government wants to change the law to give parents the 'right' to contact. I'm worried about this because it means people like my sister will have to let the Dad see the children even if they don't want to and even if he's been violent and dangerous.
I want to know if other people think it's right for the government to do this even though they have had advice that it's not a good idea.

I am fed up hearing about mums rights and Dads rights . When I was a kid and my parents split up they both thought they knew what was best for me and constantly accused each other of all sorts of things . I hated it all but went along with it as I couldn't stand them having another row . I say give the kids a right and ask them what they think when they are old enough .
Yes but what about mothers who selfishly deny the father contact even tho he's a good dad? I am having to go to court to see my children and I'm in favour of any change in the law that gives dads more rights.
I agree with you...if the Dad has been violent to the children in the past he should not have access. No wonder your sister's children don't want to see him. Why should the government interfere in what is family business.....what do they know about living with the tension of a violent father ...it can't be right for all parents to have equal right of access...surely how you behave towards the children makes a difference to your rights.
