Another gross miscarriage ofjustice by British social workers

Why would they not return a child to a loving father who wants her? It'sjust vindictiveness and shows absolutely NO regard for the welfare of the child

The man at the centre of one of the country's [New Zealand's] most publiccustody fights is about to lose his daughter for a second time. Kiwi StephenJelicich, who took baby Caitlin into hiding in 2005 in the middle of a bittertug-of-love with his former Welsh wife Diane Ellis-George, has revealed hisdaughter is about to be adopted.

Ellis-George, a nurse, died two years ago of breast cancer and Caitlin was putin the care of her 27-year-old half-sister in the UK. In 2005, Jelicich sparkeda police hunt with his actions after an Auckland court awarded the mum custody.After nine days on the run, he gave himself up.

Jelicich said he had hoped Caitlin, now aged 7, might eventually "bereturned to me" - but he could not afford to fight for her any longer. Thehalf-sister told him recently she would soon adopt Caitlin and "there'snothing I can do about it".

A teary-eyed Jelicich said he had come to accept Caitlin would grow up inWales. But he was immensely grateful the half-sister had allowed him a little intoher life now. He skyped Caitlin only a couple of months ago and sent herChristmas presents and sometimes penned letters too. "I let her know herdad is here and loves her and will always be here - and I hope to see her whenshe's old enough and wants to catch up."

Jelicich, 46, now a farmer in the Manawatu, has since become the proud dad to a3- year-old daughter whom he wants to shield from publicity.

Asked if she helped heal his heart, Jelicich replied, "no". Bothdaughters "are separate", very much loved and neither could replacethe other, he said. "You are going to make me cry again. I'm still notover it and will never be over losing my daughter," he said. "There'sa hole in my heart and nothing can ever fill it ... not a day goes by that Inever think of my daughter."

He revealed that he was a typical parent when it came to a relocation dispute -he had spent $30,000 fighting his case, almost exactly what Otago Universityresearchers say parents spend on these types of cases. He is still paying offthis debt.

The cost was worth every cent, he said, because "you can't put a value onhaving your child with you" and at least he knew he tried everything hecould.

Jelicich said any parent who faced similar circumstances would have spent alltheir cash trying to get custody. He was not surprised some Kiwis spent closeto $200,000 on custody and separation disputes.

He said fighting for custody through the courts was like "whacking yourhead against a brick wall ... but how could you not try [for custody]?"

absolute tragedy

poor soul-the system extorted all his money now he has no money left to pay the ransome

Perhaps, just perhaps if the younger Brothers work with the older Brothers and START spreading the word about this sort of stuff - we could change public policy about Fathers - Children and Families

This kinda shit-just continually makes me wonder why more men don't f'n Kill someone?


oops....I forgot....they kill themselves



Like.....fuck already!

Every day or more, a man hangs or shoots himself for such cases as this. It is today's tragedy and feminist's greatest triumph I suppose. We do the work mostly for them.

After a few postal workers flew off the handle, they coined the phrase "going postal" on someone. I wonder what coin phrase male suicide will get? "He got feminized"?

"He got feminized"?

Thats a good one!
