Re: Daniel Smith. All children need both parents for security and discipline.

Children would then show respect and, of course, lots of love.

Children suffer when a couple split, therefore the absent parent should still have access to their child to ensure they are happy and stable.

I don't blame the fathers who have been demonstrating about not having access. Isn't it likely that a lot of vandalism is because the children are insecure and must get attention even if it means breaking the law?
