    Some mothers try their best as a single parent. The PM should know that. It is not easy on a single mother. The father should be the ones to pay the full blunt of this new legislation.

    I think this is a very good idea, it is known how much some parents can get with protecting their children. If the protection is protection from a crime, it makes sense to charge them as a criminal.
