The Cutting of Gypsy children's Hair While In The Care Of Social Services, Foster Parents, Guardianship's and Adoption Is Racial Abuse!!!
This petition was created to show the serious matter of Gypsy children who are taken from parents who have never harmed them to be placed with foster carers, guardian's and adoptive families who are not racially trained to provide these children with care that meets their racial background.
To stop these children from being racial abused by cutting Gypsy girls hair while in the care system.
To show to UK social services that Gypsy's are in fact a race and ethnic minority within the UK. With a cultural background and customs and Gypsy children's culture is TOTALLY disregarded once a child is taken for risk of possible emotional harm.
To show that real emotional harm as well as the physical harm caused by cutting Gypsy girls hair, which is taking place once these children are stolen from their parents.
To make the police take serious the reports of Gypsy children who are being abused in this manner.

This is devastating to the identities of these children and this can have damaging repercussions in adulthood. Life is tough enough without this kind of state-sponsored assault.
someone cut my sons ponytail off & shaved his head while he was being so called cared for when he was 7 he was so upset! ive never found out who did this which is maybe a good job because it would be more than their hair i,d cut
Please stop this. You are cutting much more than hair... you are cutting part of these girls' cultural identities. If you do not want to do this, then stop. If you do want to do this, then I cannot properly express my opinion. Haven't they suffered enough?
The Romani people are an ethnic group and we have cultural standards like any other. We ask that those be respected, particularly regarding those who cannot yet speak for themselves. Thank you.
The cutting of hair as this signature suggests is ignorant of racial and cultural traditions. Make it abundantly clear to the adoptive system this is a hate crime.
Let the Roma children keep their hair!!

It is disrespectful in the very least to ignore to traditions and culture that a child taken into "care" is from. It is abuse and should be stopped immediately.
