feminist4fathers (and mothers): Fathers4Justice and Another Place

MEN'S NEWS DAILY HOME PAGE

Children deserve fully functioning, natural, loving, dedicated relationships with both of their parents, equally, in and out of marriage, whenever possible. Joint physical custody and co-parenting can benefit families, especially children. I'm an advocate for collaborative or cooperative, shared or co-parenting, as well as laws that encourage equality: a strong presumption for both parents', as well as extended family's involvement in children's lives.

Fathers4Justice and Another Place

I'm happy to report that the original Fathers4Justice in the UK is back at it again...but this time on the ground instead of up on a building or bridge.

From the August 24 Daily Post:

FORTY of Antony Gormley's Another Place statues were dressed in superhero costumes yesterday as Fathers 4 Justice mounted a protest on Crosby beach. more here

excerpts:

Messages were attached, quoting statistics such as: "100 children lose contact with their fathers every day because of the family courts." Another read:: "100 men commit suicide every year as a direct result of the Child Support Agency."

Mike Green, Liverpool branch coordinator, said the group chose to decorate 40 statues because 40% of fathers who go through the family courts lose contact with their children within eight years.

He added: "The artwork is very apt for our cause. There are 100 men looking out to sea, and we are looking out for our children because they are in another place as well."
