Letter: Conduct of the campaign against the CSA
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Yasmin Alibhai-Brown states that 'A World in Action television programme . . . secretly filmed two FNF (Families Need Fathers) members giving advice . . . on how to abduct children from their mothers'. FNF rejects and condemns parental child abduction. Quite apart from the strongest moral and child welfare objections, fathers (unlike mothers) cannot hope to 'succeed' unless they have a viable life in some overseas country.
We are, however, aware that the legal and other obstructions put in the way of divorced and separated fathers wishing to stay involved in the lives of their children drive some to desperate and illegal acts. The way to reduce abductions, and perhaps also murders and suicides, is to recognise children's rights to two involved parents.
Yours faithfully,
BRUCE LIDINGTON
Vice-chairman
