Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI believe the answer is yes. More importantly I would like the contact to be meaningful. I don't want to see "McMums". Children can get by on 1 parent - I did. But its *usually* better with both parents involved.
What is more difficult is where a parent does not want contact with a child. You can guess my thoughts on such scum. But how can you force that?
BTW children almost always want contact, unless there is Parental Alienation Syndrome(PAS). Maybe that was what happened in this case? Hard to tell as details are hidden(quite rightly).

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostWhile you are rant and wail about the parents, and personal attacks on me, how about a thought for the child? It must be totally devastating.
I hope there will be some sort of sharing of parental responsibilities so that contact with both parents can be maintained.
For a system totally geared to the mother, she must have done some very bad stuff to lose custody. Does not mean she should not be fully involved with the child's upbringing though. For the sake of the child.
