I'm saddened by the family law system within the UK. I have witnessed how the courts primary focus is on father's rights (sadly even in cases in that fathers have been found guilty of repeated violence, contact almost always leads to unsupervised).
Mothers are currently being trampled over within the family courts. Because of pressure from father's rights groups.
I think it's important that people understand, just because allegations have not been proven, doesn't mean they are false. Yet in the family courts, if there is not enough evidence to to support a parent's claims, findings will be made to the opposite effect. I think polyograph testing should be brought into the court process! It would certainly weed out those who are abusive, and spare man thousands of victims of domestic violence, and concerned loving parents who are trying to protect their children, from further abuse. Most importantly it would help to protect children (any parent who has been abusive would run a mile from the court process, if this was brought in).
Regardless of the circumstances, the mother obviously isn't a danger to her child, or the courts would have had to release a statement to that effect. I am saddened, that a three year old boy who has lived with his mother for his whole life, is to be taken away from his mother. This is taking father's rights to a whole other level. And regardless of whether her allegations weren't found to be a fact, it is cruel to remove a small child from his mother. This will have a detrimental effect on his life.
We are moving in the direction of children being split down the middle, as if they are property, and if parents don't comply this will be the consequence, the courts will change residence. This is terrible for children.
This will inevitably end sadly for the mother, because there is no where for her to turn, and the law is on the father's side. My heart goes out to her xx
