Father wins £15,000 payout after being prevented from seeing children for two years

Our thanks to Ian for this. An extract:

The judge said neither the children nor their father could be identified.

He said the man and the children’s mother had become embroiled in a legal dispute over the children after separating five years ago.

The woman had initially made “serious allegations” about the man’s conduct towards one child and then claimed that he had sexually abused both youngsters.

Investigations had started, the man had been arrested and had not been able to see his children for two years.

But a social worker had suspected the children had been coached to make false allegations and staff had concluded the children’s mother had caused the youngsters “significant harm”.

Mr Justice Cobb said the children had eventually moved to live with their father and were “thriving”.

The children’s mother should be prosecuted at least on the grounds of seeking to pervert the course of justice. We can be sure she won’t be.

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

  1. Strange story. there must be hundreds of thousands of fathers who have been denied years of contact on the basis of false allegations who don’t receive a penny of compensation. I’m not sure what is different about this case.

    • The difference is that it was fought and unusually the social work services supported the father . I expect both conditions are rare.though the circumstances probably common now as an accusation of abuse such as made can secure legal aid for family court proceedings.

    • It happened to a friend of mine, more than twenty years ago. His former partner accused him of sexually abusing his four children. He wasn’t arrested and was not prevented from seeing them but his access was severely restricted and controlled; his contact was only allowed at the social services’ office and there was a social worker in attendance all the time.

      This sort of thing will continue for as long as men vote for politicians who allow and enable it.

  2. Well done to this father for having the courage to pursue the council and set a precedent. So many other men are emasculated and give up fighting, but this man didn’t and he won. No doubt he felt suicidal in those two years without his children. He deserves a J4MB medal of honour. More men should fight and sue these feminist-controlled state agencies.
    The award should have been far, far more punitive and with a few more zeros, e.g. £1.5 million, to act as a meaningful deterrent against councils, social workers and police breaching fathers’ rights on a whim. Today these government workers cannot get into trouble if they decide in favour of the mother at the expense of the father. However, a far more punitive award would result in men’s rights (and children’s rights to see their father) being considered for once.
    False and grossly exaggerated allegations like this occur in approximately 25% of all divorces. It’s now par for the course for mothers to make these false claims. They are encouraged to do so by their solicitors, radical feminist groups such as Women’s Aid, and the police. It makes getting immediate custody of the children automatic and long term custody 1000 times easier. This must be stopped.

    • In fact there has been a dramatic increase of such allegations following the end of automatic legal aid for family court cases unless there is an allegation (not proof or conviction) of domestic abuse. There has been an “internal” inquiry on this particularly in the Midlands where the accusations increased by a factor of 5.
      Its pretty clear that this “loophole” is being used to secure legal aid, and of course tar fathers as abusers without any actual proof.

    • Given the MOD’s propensity for huge compensation payments to typists or sprained thumbs and similarly trivial complaints, a payment of £1.5 million seems not at all unreasonable and rather on the low side for what the man went through. However, as always where public sector incompetence or malevolence are involved, the bill is paid by the tax payer, 75% of whom are men, so it is men who pay the cost of women’s inhumanity to man, which is not what we want to see.

      It is time that all who are paid from the public purse, whether at national or local level, are made severally and individually liable for the consequences of their actions, and otherwise punished as appropriate.

  3. It’s nice to hear of an ending as happy as it can be, especially as it was social workers who blew the whistle.

    I hadn’t got Luton down as an especially dad friendly place — I wonder if this was a one off or a straw in the wind.

  4. 15k is nowhere near enough and the mother who obviously will never see the inside of a custodial sentence should at least be made to attended therapy on many levels for child abuse( maybe the charge of child abuse should be handed to her).

    last but not least the whole family court division( judges especially) should be retrained for being so out of touch and unable to tell the difference between the truth and manipulation by lawyers and social services.

    could someone make them watch “the red pill” with a pop quiz afterwards to see if the information has sunk in or they stick to their entrenched values( a p45 for those that do)?

  5. Remember Victoria Hague who was jailed back in 2011 for coaching her daughter to make false sexual abuse allegations against her ex-husband, the girls father.
    This looks on the face of it, a similar case.
    It seems that we have gone backwards not forwards.
    The £15K compensation was from the council, not the evil b*tch of a mother.
    How the hell is this justice?

  6. How often does that happen? I wonder if Jess Phillips has anything to say about this. Another example of defenceless woman I expect.
