Bad mothers get community service and fines

Written by Lee Doyle on September 10, 2008 – 1:41 am

New laws in the UK have threatened parents who are blocking child access and ruining their childrens lives. This will come as a breath of fresh air to the many groups set up for the countless parents and family members who never see their children or grandchildren.

Sadly this has had some bad feedback from so called experts (Anthony Douglas) from Cafcass, who are suposed to advise the courts in what they they think is the best interest for the children.

‘I’m not convinced unpaid work will change the way people think or behave,’

‘It might be the right thing to do in a handful of cases. But what we really need is more specialist family support services with counselling for both children and parents.’

So not only does he think this should not be used, he is trying to keep Cafcass in the spotlight and give him and his workers more paid work. Cafcass was given the worst grade in a report by Ofsted and was told they were putting children at risk. They have been linked to countless forced adoptions and are one of the main subjects my readers email me about.

Harry Fletcher, spokesman for the probation union, Napo, said it could see thousands of people, mainly women, criminalised. ‘It could mean that distraught mothers do unpaid work alongside persons convicted of criminal offences,’ he warned. ‘It would conflict with childcare responsibilities.’

I love the choice of words here “It could mean that distraught mothers do unpaid work” like the other parents or grandparents are not DISTRAUGHT enough with not seeing their children or grandchildren! These “women” knowingly BREAK court orders and should have consequence! Right now they can break the orders and have NO (Thats right ZERO) consequences for breaking them… Apart from a judge Read more »

Things I miss about you

Written by Lee Doyle on August 21, 2008 – 9:53 am

Here are just some of the things I miss about being a Father, and being with the one I love.

Things I miss about my partner

  • Going to bed knowing someone else is there
  • Waking up beside you
  • Watching a TV show and having you lay beside me.
  • Making you dinner
  • Fighting with you other stupid things
  • Holding you hand
  • The smell of your hair
  • Having you force me out of bed
  • Looking into you eyes and knowing what your thinking
  • Making you smile
  • Your voice
  • You

Things I miss about being a Father

  • Waking up to the words “Daddy”
  • Play fighting
  • Teaching you new things
  • Making you smile
  • Learning new things from you
  • Reading you bedtime stories
  • Singing bedtime songs with you
  • Doing stupid dances to silly songs
  • I miss all of you
  • I miss the things I am missing right now and will never get back

Edit: A poem I wrote:

Wish I could say, wish I do,
Wish I could wake up next to you,

Wish that is was, wish that it can,
I wish everything went to plan,

Roses are red, violets are blue,
I hope that all my wishes come true,
