What the petition asks
Us dads tend to get portrayed as “deadbeats” , “wastes of space” or a “joke” in this day and age , things get hard in life for many different reasons. But in reality we just want to be able to see our kids but we can’t because ‘some’ mothers stop us when it suits them.
I am doing this because it is unfair for those fathers out there including myself who put effort in to seeing their child but get no where from the mother ‘exercising there rights of parental rights’ this shouldn’t be the case our kids need to see the dad , bond with them just as much as the mother , in addition it’s comes down to being treated unfairly and how ‘some’ mothers can act upon this. It is heartbreaking for some of us and all we want to do is Improve for our children.
