Rubbish, they're in the context of people who have a conveniently available punching bag that can't fight back when Mum and the new boyfriend get pissed and decide to do some "teaching"; or Mum's had a bad day with Centrelink; or Dad's not paid the CS on time, or some other, usually stress-driven triviality.
As always, your position is "all men are bastards, all wmen are saints" and you'll regurgitate as much dishonest disinformation as you can throw up to try to convince yourself of that. I do so hope you're not in a position of sole authority over some poor, helpless child.
mong:"large group of child deaths is from fathers in the context of domestic violence, separation and post-separation."
the domestic violence aspect is routimely claimed in any contentious divorce and I suspect that sometimes becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When one is treated as having offended simply for the making of an accusation, there can seem little reason not to actually offend, even if no offence has ever before been committed. Besides, there are also many such deaths caused by women in the same context, yet very few DV allegations are made by divorcing men.
I don't expect you to grasp any of that, dear. Just please do try not to take out your frustration on the kids.
