War on dads and children damages millions of children's life chances
Bold new book offers hope & practical solutions.
London, England: Today Vincent McGovern released a fully expanded & updated edition of his book “ THE WAR ON DADS & CHILDREN HOW TO FIGHT IT, AND WIN!”. Foreward by The Right Hon Ann Widdecombe DSG “Any man denied access to his children will take heart from this book”.
The War On Dads & Children - How To Fight It, & Win by Vincent McGovern and edited by Martin Daubney, makes a compelling case that the entire British family court system, biased Legal Aid rules and a powerful, lobbying domestic violence industry is ruining outcomes for an entire generation of children, costing the taxpayer £ billions - and is even fuelling a knife crime epidemic.
The listlessness of fatherless boys makes them much more susceptible to being radicalised by negative “father figures” like Andrew Tate - or even ISIS. And while the media makes much of “toxic masculinity” The War On Dads & Children – How To Fight It, & Win makes a compelling and evidence-based case for the positive masculinity of fathers. The book is part personal polemic and also a unique how-to-beat the legal system that has turned British fathers into outcasts – at the expense of children’s rights.
In 2007 Vincent, an ordinary stay-at-home, dad-of-three, found himself childless and living in his garage, the target of the rigged system. But he fought back. Vincent became a self-taught expert in the dark arts of British family law. He won an unprecedented five Ombudsman enquiries against Brent Council, Court Social Services & the Solicitor’s Regulatory Authority.
In 2014, after personally addressing the European Union’s Children’s Commissioner, Vincent forced a world-first investigation into a nation state’s family court system – into the particularly grotesque practice of “enforced adoption” of children. That resulted in a 53% reduction in forced adoptions within one year. Vincent had made history.
In 2008, Vincent became Chair of Central & North London branches of shared parenting charity Families Need Fathers and has helped 12,000+ attendees to remain involved with their children.
Fathers have a hugely positive impact on children’s life chances
The cost of family breakdown is £49 billion per year to the UK, greater than the defence budget, with 300,000 couples separating every year.
The UK has 3.8 million fatherless children; 1 in 3 children live without their father, yet 84% of the public support shared parenting.
86% of all applications to family courts for increased access to children are from fathers, yet 40% of mothers admit to obstructing contact with the child’s natural father.
Under COVID, things worsened. While 95% of resident parents are mothers, many weaponised lockdowns by restricting access to children for fathers, driving a wave of male suicides
“Dad-deprived boys” suffer in 70 measured ways, from school achievement, employment, drug/alcohol abuse, bullying, homelessness and lack of empathy. Fatherless boys are more likely to become criminals, go to jail, and kill.
Jails are epicentres of dad-deprived boys: in the UK a staggering 76% of youths in prison grew up in a fatherless home. It is even higher in the USA, at 85%.
Fatherless girls are more likely to become teenage mothers or go on to become welfare recipients. They are twice as likely to have problems with the law by age 25.
Says Vincent: “I went to hell and back to stay in my children’s lives. Now I’m determined to help as many parents as possible, to help overthrow a system that is stacked against fathers”.
