Скачать или смотреть PM Announces "Presumption of Contact" Scrapped! But Is It Just Window Dressing?

Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Tuesday that the “presumption of contact” law being applied in custody cases will be scrapped.

Sounds awesome. But is it just window dressing?

The good news is, this is an ideological shift in the right direction. There is now a government consensus that children’s safety trumps an abusive parent’s right to contact. But that has always been a consensus amongst citizenry everywhere forever. It is only in custody cases there is endless dithering about whether to protect children from abusers.

However, this “victory” is getting overblown. Domestic Abuse and Legal Advocates [DALA’s]—lawyers, law professors, and mental health professionalswho have taken on the Custody Crisis—are heralding the repeal of this law as a momentous decision, historic, hugely significant, a landmark win that will lead to groundbreaking legal change!

But will the repeal of this presumption of contact, so widely extolled by DALA’s, politicians, legislators, and the media, really give mothers the power to protect their children from physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive fathers?

Or is it just more hopium being served up to the mother masses while Rome burns?
