Automatically remove parental responsibility for parents convicted of abuse
We want to change the law to automatically remove parental responsibility from parents convicted of abuse. We feel children being required to see their abusive parents and allowing them to still make decisions regarding the child's life is abuse in itself and may cause more suffering.

Background
We believe many children are failed by the system and may be left with lifelong trauma and PTSD. Foster parents should been given full parental responsibility instead.
