He is believed to have two children, aged four and five, who he has not seen for several years
I don't know if there is any underlying reason for this that we don't know about, but if not then so much for equal opportunities.
Unfortunately over here, the mother only has to say abuse, and the father is instantly a wife / child batterering danger to the kids - no proof required. The mother wouldn't lie about something like that, would they ??? Then, because of todays Politically Correct culture, and 'where there's blame, there's a claim' attitude, the courts have to tread so slowly it looks like they're going backwards!! I had 2 1/2 years of legal fighting to see my little girl, and it nearly broke me physically, emotionally and financially. I can't imagine what these unfortunate fathers must be feeling to lead them to do this kind of stunt.
I only hope enough people can see through the 'sillyness' of these actions and see the desperation that drives fathers to do it!
Bull!
p.s. I also think it's really funny that it's so easy to get ast the security defences... apparently 'Madge' is right 'pissed orf' !!
