I'm furious and horrified about this.
A man has been handed a Domestic Violence Protection Order against his ex after subjecting her to violence - he can't be within 100 metres of her or contact her...but magistrates have ruled that he can be present at the birth of their child.
So when a woman is vulnerable, in excruciating pain and naked she has to have the man who abused her standing there. That's his legal right.
I'm absolutely fuming and wondering what can be done.
I just hope the midwives refuse to let him be there - that's if the victim has the confidence to speak out against him. We all know how perpetrators yield their power and intimidate their victims, rendering them afraid to speak up.
