Time to shout louder for your grandchildren, not tomorrow today.

The government today have announced consultation to begin on the rights of children to be part of both parents lives.

There will of course be those who will be shouting from the rooftops to say this mustn't happen.
We need to be shouting louder, our grandchildren deserve us to stand up for them and to be a powerful voice for them.
Thousands of parents have been shut out of their children's life for vindictive reasons, using the children as weapons in cases of separation and divorce.
The most important paragraph in this announcement, for me, is that they will be looking at the possibility of fining any resident parent who does not abide by the rules.
At the moment resident parents are breaking the law and there is no consequence, that must be addressed.
We have a generation of children growing up being denied contact with loving parents.
I urge everyone to continue to write to your MP's etc, putting on the pressure for legislation for shared parenting and a legal consequence if it is not adhered to.
Not a time to be complacent, time to push those who hold power.
Time for everyone to be pro-active, get pens out, you owe it to your grandchildren.

Ok so there are still some huge stumbling blocks, but I really believe we are moving in the right direction.
