Family criticises law change on paedophiles' parental rights
Briefly

A family has expressed disappointment over the Victims and Courts Bill, which aims to remove parental responsibility from convicted paedophiles but only applies in cases of abuse towards their own children. Despite her ex-husband being a convicted sex offender, a mother named Bethan had to invest over £30,000 to secure her daughter's safety and remove his parental rights. The government's proposed amendment, initiated by Harriet Harman, seeks to address this issue more comprehensively, yet many families still face significant legal and financial challenges under current laws.
The Victims and Courts Bill includes an amendment to remove parental responsibility from convicted paedophiles, but it only applies if they have abused their own children.
Bethan's family had to spend over £30,000 to protect her daughter from the influence of a convicted paedophile father who retained parental rights.
