Agree. Totally. So, Women ned to harden up: Leave their kids on the doorsteps of the dad...comprehensive files, photos, journals, records, photos, birth certificates, recorded iphone interviews with friends and family, notify police- in fact even better, get the police involved and get the police to hand over the child. It has to be radical noin-parenting. Heartbreaking but nothing will change otherwise.

Women definitely need to come together as one and fight the legal system, it does seem to be getting worst, especially with apps like tinder where men are meeting women and leaving them as soon as they're pregnant. (Not all men obviously) But I know 4 women who have been lied to by men on tinder and left single mothers.

The system really doesn't care! Maybe you could start a group and get some ideas rolling on how you could be the voice of change?

There are many women on this site who are fighting the same battle, how do we bring them all together?

Mumsnet also has given interviews to BBC news on women's issues so if it got big enough you could certainly raise awareness around the country and bring it to the doors of parliament.

Are you actually joking? He literally abandoned five children, he was abusive and neglectful. He destroyed the mental health of four otherwise doting wives. He is reaping exactly what he sowed.

Also, BNP!!!!

Yes, my father also abounded me and my 3 sisters along with our mother, but I would never relish in someone rotting away with dementia .. each to their own I guess.
