Emotional Cruelty Will Be Prosecuted In UK

"Changes to the child neglect laws will make “emotional cruelty” a crime for the first time"

"The new offense would make it a crime to do anything that deliberately harmed a child’s “physical intellectual, emotional, social or behavioral development”.

This could include deliberately ignoring a child, or not showing them any love, over prolonged periods, damaging a child’s emotional development."

... this is an example of how fascist the government is in the united kingdom. man, that country is WAY TOO UPTIGHT about everything. that's what happens when lawyers have too much power, everything becomes a crime, as is happening here too. but it just means eventual annihilation of the government ...

 

Well I am all for this! Maybe not jail time but mandatory parenting classes at least. Growing up in this kind of household makes a child suicidal from a young age (my experience.)

Legislation for this issue comes far too late. They should have done this 30 years ago. They will intervene if there's 'domestic violence' but if it's cruelty, lack of love or no physical affection whatsoever then nothing is done.

 

Bump...

 

... there is no worse emotional cruelty (torture is more like it!) than the cruelty inflicted by courts and legal systems. it's an ancient artifact that is dead and must be dismantled. never look to the justice system for any kinds of answers or help, that is not what it's there for. it is there for its own interests and nothing more ...

 

Oh great... our resident airhead (flutterby) vs. our resident raving lunatic (the mechanic)... there's no one to root for.
