The loss of any children is heartbreaking, but it is especially traumatic when that child is killed by their own parent.
Two years ago we launched a campaign for a change in the law to protect kids at risk from such a plight. Since then, the deaths of six more children at the hands of their violent parents have come to light.
The current law presumes that a biological parent should have access to their son or daughter even if they have a history of violence or sex abuse. The rights of a parent are placed before those of a child.
We believe it should be other way round. How many more innocents’ deaths have to take place before ministers act?
