The Scottish and UK Wide Child Welfare Courts are lagging behind in the aspects of genuinely Protecting the Rights of Children!

I think the resources I'm linking with this brief discussion is  relevant and informative to all Scottish fathers and their children. It's about a Charity known as Family Need Fathers (FNF) Scotland that works with and for Families with particular focus  on Fathers who are denied contacts with their kids post divorce/separation.

The aforementioned Charity is one of the key points for Scottish fathers who are left with no choices, but subjected to unfair, extremely biased, excessively one sided, blatantly unfair and unduly lengthy Scottish Children's Welfare Court proceedings. In the long term, such unfair process of the said courts undoubtedly causes in the children involved serious and lasting psycho-emotional, mental and spiritual damages leading to perhaps a life long mental health difficulties. Ample researches substantiate this argument. It seems that some of the judges, reporters, Curatrax, Lawyers and Solicitors prefer obviousness whilst ignoring these facts entirely focussing on erroneous decisions of those who are assigned to protect the very rights of Children. Needless to say about the fact that the fathers whose life are left in an abyss of despair and loneliness not knowing where to turn to. Such an action of the courts qualify to blatant human rights violations. For that matter, if the fathers and children are disallowed contacts unlawfully, the presence and practices of courts simply becomes meaningless. It is and remains noble however. Instead it becomes a place where those who are supposed to safeguard the rights of children procedurally show their allegiance to one another.

Another aspect of such endless saga is that the fathers involved in such lengthy, emotionally and psychologically draining process incur tremendous financial losses. They are also required to provide for their separated/divorced mothers whilst being treated like alien and disallowed contacts. It's such a paradox for any civilised person to comprehend. Unsubstantiated allegations always remain on the fact that either father will cause threat to mother or kids even if the violent person is someone who claims that she/he is abused.

There are numerous case studies (Scientifically validated) emphasising the fact that both mothers and fathers can do harm and be threat to their kids if they have got issues that compromises their parenting capabilities due to several factors. If this is the case, an expert assessments are relevant to make that kind of independent and unbiased judgments. Erroneously judging fathers and kids without these and others tools that are put in place to be used to carry out such an assessments, it will be unwise and makes the entire system uncivilised and potentially counterproductive. If the systems that are created to satisfy the necessary requirements justices demands work to satisfy the hatred of women to men; it obscures the civility of this ancient land of Scots whose ancestors pioneered numerous technological and scientific inputs providing solution to difficulties of the world faced during the enlightment eras.

Therefore, denying fathers  contacts to their kids based on an erroneous assertion about father's being threats to their kids once they are no longer with their partners isn't only unfair and unlawful, but it is and remains fundamental wrong urgently needing fundamental change in attitude of courts judges, lawyers/solicitors and others statutory and voluntary organisations involved in safeguarding children.

The Scottish government must think these issues seriously to take progressive actions step by step to safeguard Children and assure fair treatments of fathers--not as a foreign bodies entered into once system taken out of it by antibiotics. On most occasions, this is the manner in which the Scottish Children welfare courts operate. 

One can imagine how damaging it would be to children (at their tender ages in particular) who are suddenly told that they can no longer see their dad who once was a part of their entire being without justifiable reasons.  This is what the Scottish Child Welfare hearing courts are mostly engaged in on several occasions. Business shouldn't be at the sufferings of kids and fathers.

The evidences show that there are hundreds of thousands of kids left at the hands of excessive alcoholics and druggists parents about whom the courts do little or nothing whilst busying themselves with denying contacts and delaying the cases of responsible fathers and their children. This must be stopped and all should be treated equally and fairly, if the child welfare courts to be independent and satisfy the ethos on which it was conceived.  After all this isn't a dictatorial country where the rule of law is and remains mockery.

If your children live in Scotland then they will be subject to the Scottish legal system.
The Scottish statute law relating to children is substantially similar (but not identical) to that in England. However, divorce law is different, legal procedures are very different, and different case law applies. Please refer to the information on the FNF Scotland site for further details.
