It
is estimated that in the UK alone some 2.5 to 4.5 million children
under 16 do not live under the same roof as their father.
Very
little is known about this large group of parents, the UK government
makes no attempt to help children stay in touch with both parents.
Fathers
who go to court routinely end up complaining about gross human rights
abuses that occur behind the closed doors of secret courts, where
the press is not admitted, where the public is banned, where there
are few rights of appeal, and where court appointed experts, who
are often untrained, get treated as if they know what's best for
children.
Fathers
throughout Europe are getting organised. Many have stopped obeying
orders that aim to force fathers who care about their children to
remain silent about the goings-on in Family Courts.
Demonstrations
and public protests, often outside the homes of the people who are
responsible for evicting fathers from children's lives, have become
a regular feature.
After
many years of silence, women too are protesting against the unintended
consequences of feminism, which they see as destroying their family
rights, their brother, neighbor or friend.
Grandparents,
aunties and uncles too are taking to spending many a Sunday joining
protest rallies outside the homes and churches of judges.
Social
policy which treats fathers as disposable will have to end.
Fathers
and those who love them are simply getting together and getting
involved in these demos.
With
so many voices now speaking up against the maltreatment of fathers,
it is clear that change is inevitable. |
