This is so appalling. It makes me wonder how many other extremely vulnerable children are suffering in abusive 'care' homes. They don't all have fathers staying in close touch with them, but it seems that even having a loving father can mean he's just used as someone to pin the blame on. It's totally disgusting and unbearable.

Perhaps too early to make a considered comment. However, what a tragic story. It's reminiscent of some Fathers for Justice stories across the border. The father has been put in a difficult position, and the system is not flexible enough to manage this. The reasons for this will become apparent next video I guess.

Thanks John.

It is a big story, hence a seven-part interview series. I hope you continue to follow it. One episode per week is the plan

Apologies David but this is too small to read for me. I tried to enlarge but failed. Probably my lack of skills. Can you send a link?

Hello John, the newspaper clipping was really just an illustration and to let you see a picture of John-junior. I will drop you a pdf copy by email.

Did you like the video?

Hello David, I have now made a comment. I did not notice the video! Must have been preoccupied! The video was well produced from my viewpoint. I though you handled it well. asking the right questions yet allowing John to answer, and getting him to clarify if there was confusion. He appears genuinely caring and not malicious.
