I absolutely agree. When we think of the trauma of such a situation, we have to think of the trauma of the young person. All sides will have difficult emotions to face. The question that the Assembly must ask itself, when we consider the role of parents and the impact of this legislation, is this: are we willing to criminalise a parent for setting boundaries?
