"Billingham has refused to give up his parental rights to their two surviving girls – even though he is now serving life in jail.
He is entitled to regular updates on the other kids and has a say in medical treatment and education. Tracey even needs permission to take them on holiday."

The mother of tragic eight-year-old Mylee Billingham is calling for the Government to create ‘Mylee’s Law’ as she battles to keep her ex-partner away from her two other children.

Completely mad. I hope TT is successful in getting the rules changed.

That is ridiculous. He should have no say in his other kids' lives imo.

Absolutely! I was wanting to sign the petition but can't since I'm not a British citizen.
