A deep dive into a little discussed area. It occurred to me that this idea could have a significant impact on our crime problem. In the same way that the court summons men to pay child maintenance, we could summon fathers to be present at the birth of their children even if in handcuffs.
In the society in which we live there may be good cause for the “presumed” father of the child not to be present at the moment of birth. 😉
You know what they say: You know who your mother is, but of your father you can never be sure.
She was one of the ones I missed . . .
