Say Sorry to All - Fatherless Children need
Apology Too
The Fatherhood Foundation commends the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
for saying sorry to the Aboriginal children stolen from their fathers
and mothers but what about the current stolen generation?
Warwick Marsh, of the Fatherhood Foundation said, "It is very sad that aboriginal children were removed from their fathers by white authorities, but what about today's stolen children, both black and white, who have been forcibly removed from the care of their fathers by Australia's Family Law Court. Over a million children live apart from their biological father.
"Both the previous government and the current government rejected the commonsense solution of a presumption of equal shared parenting in the event of family breakdown. We call for an apology to the children of Australia who have been so grievously affected by its ideological hatred for fathers."
Dr Robert Kelso, who has lectured in Public Policy and Ethics and who has conducted research on the effects of Family Law Act in Australia, agrees with Mr Marsh "The Family Law Court is the most divisive court in the nation's history. The court has failed to protect aboriginal children and its associated entities such as the Child Support Agency have produced one of the highest rates of male suicide and male unemployment in the western world."
It is good that the Prime Minister should say sorry to the Aboriginal people, but he should also say sorry to Australia's children for the denial of contact and love of their father. He should also say sorry to the children of Australia for the destruction of their family unit and the loss of their economic future
The Prime Minister should also say sorry to the children of Australia for denying them contact with their extended family, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Justice is not too much to ask
How much longer must our children wait?
