Parents that do not make contact or see their child for over a year should lose their parental rights. If you are not making the effort to help raise your child or to see them regularly you should no longer have rights over the parent that cares for them full time.

A parent can completely ignore their child for a decade yet still have the same rights as the parent who has raised and cared for that child during that time. This is not right. Being a parent isn’t simple biology, it is about how you care for the child. If you disappear and have zero contact and make no attempt to contact, why do your rights remain? We need the law to protect parents that have been full time carers, not the ones that abandon their children and cling on to biological rights.
