well the issue goes deeper into the Rape of the Nuclear Family gig, does it not, ie the whole drive of the Family Law Industry/Feminism and the billions of dollars pa poured into the quangos says kids DON'T need fathers. ie one of the good things about 2 parents is at least ONE can look after kids at all times.

Here are a few sticks to threaten the State or Territory with: http://is.gd/dr8vL, http://tribune.grputland.com/2009/08/wake-up-australia-stamp-duties-on-new.html.

Jinny, in the interests of accuracy, I have some questions for you.

(1)What was the actual time you left, and the time you returned?

(2)Did the leaving of the children alone happen just this once, or on more occasions?

(3)Exactly what were you doing for all the time you were away from your children?

A mate of mine had his 40th birthday on his yacht & celebrated with a couple of friends & his 6 year old daughter. When his friends needed to leave the yacht he took them ashore in his little dinghy while his daughter stayed on board. As luck would have it a rather young female constable insisted he do a breath test & of course having had a few beers he registered over the limit. This constable arrested him on the spot & packed him into the Police car & took him to the station. Meanwhile his daughter was panicking on the yacht & all my mate's pleas to let him go back to get his daughter fell on deaf ears. Fortunately, someone witnessed this idiocy & three hours later he was allowed to go back to his yacht. The little girl had nightmares for weeks. Such are the morons in Public office & they're given power over thinking people. Ah & yes, that happened in Queensland not in Iran or somewhere similar.

If that story is 100% accurate, and it may not be, then the police officer broke the law and could very easily be charged with an offence.

of course this story totally conflicts with the Dianne Grumble case where a single mom was on a cruise with her 11 yo daughter and left her alone to get laid by as many blokes as possible.

the court case into her self inflicted overdose said not a peep about the "mother's" total deriliction of the pronked "parenting role", but became a witch hunt [a Grimble Grumble] into those that were invited to jump her bones.

if the story here is true, could it possibly be that the 40 year rule of radical feminists is about to do a U Turn?

I don't think so
