Interesting. An extract:
“Simon Cobb of PAPA, which stands for People Against Parental Alienation, invited families to lay flowers to honour lost loved ones who have committed suicide while going through the family court process.
Simon, who was carrying a sign that said “say no to the death penalty”, said that PAPA aims to stop “loving parents” from being “unjustly stopped” from seeing their children while going through family court.
He said: “Because this process is often slow and inconsistent, you get a situation where parents have to go through months and years without seeing their children, which is pretty much grieving somebody that’s still alive.
“I’ve been made aware of hundreds of people who have committed suicide. There isn’t statistics kept on this, but I would say the national statistic would be in the thousands for a year.” “
By “parents” and “people”, of course, he means overwhelmingly “fathers”.
