Last year the government sent 492,800 penalty notices to parents for taking their children on a term-time holiday. In the same period, family courts made just 67 enforcement orders when children were cut off from a parent entirely. That ratio — 7,356 to one — has never been published by any government body. Until now.

This article exposes the most glaring double standard in English family law: the state will threaten you with a criminal record for a five-day holiday, but watch in near-silence as your child loses a parent for years. Both systems claim to act in the best interests of the child. They use the exact same four words. The science says the harm is equal. The enforcement is not. CourtCraft Advocate — courtcraftadvocate.com — puts the numbers in the same sentence for the first time and asks who is going to answer for them.
