According to a newspaper article, the mother has only contact with one of her ex partners, none of the children have any contact with their natural fathers, nor has the Child Support Agency.

If the mother, and I say if, is found to be behind the abduction of this child, social services should either make contact with the children's natural fathers to accept their responsibly or place the children with credible foster parents.

The natural fathers if located should either lose assets to recover child care benefits that have been paid out, or loss of their own benefits or salary. The state should not pick up the bill for raising children of irresponsible parents.

Hi- You're welcome to post as a guest at Mudcat, but we expect you to use a consistent name and to conduct yourself in a civil manner. The name Guest,guest (such as it is) has been compromised because it was used by a variety of people over the last few days. Therefore, all new messages posted under the name Guest,guest after midnight tonight, will be deleted (and it would be a show of good will to begin using another name immediately). Please pick another name, and use it consistently - and be nice. You're a guest in our house.
Thanks.
