I do not feel I can sign this as children should not have to choose between their parents and grandparents.

If a court decided that grandparents had access how would that impact the children when they are at home where they spend most of their time.

Signed.

I can't sign this sorry.

Children are not going to be the ones asking to go to court.

Children aren't going to be financing the process.

Children aren't going to get to decide the impact it has both mentally and financially on their parents and how that then directly impacts them.

This is just backdoor grandparents rights.

Well I can't notgran but it's always worth trying; you never know.

A change in the ruling may help future children being abused by their parent(s) where their GP's concerns are ignored and the GP's are powerless to intervene AmberSpyglass.

Can anyone give me an example where these on-line Petitions have ever changed anything?

AmberSpyglass Sat 18-Dec-21 18:28:28

Nope. It’s up to the parents. A change in ruling would be ripe for abuse.
