I feel sorry for men to not have better right regarding their kids. When it goes well with the mother, everything is good but if trouble begin, women can make a father's life miserable.

"Sperm donar frozen out by parents".
Does the sexuality of the players have an additional importance?

But there are more than enough men who don't give a sh** about their kids and leave the family, don't even pay child support.

Gay sperm donor frozen out by lesbian mums.
What does "frozen out" mean?
As a side thought, Do you think the Local cares about their reputation?

Donor sperm is usually anonymous and frozen, but this one was probably kept warm in a turkey baster. So the headline is (Gasp!) probably untrue!

I knew enough men in that situation, witnessed many comments/behavior. Also I know enough the relevant law to say that the balance is greatly in favor of the woman, especially in the UK.
So let's all play fair and keep the balance, as you said.

Cheap Headline, though.

which makes it a bit confusing as it's a thread about a dad who wants to be the opposite of those things. Deadbeat dads are awful, yes, kidnappers are way more awful, yes. Nothing at all to do with a dad who wants to be involved. Which goes with your first post  and now I'm lost  .

Its just us suckers who think reputation matters.
Has The Local ever returned to any of the threads it started? Has it ever clarified any of its statements or corrected anything in the light of the input of others or even apologised for its tiresome bumbling incompetence.
Humility and integriity don't generate income. Therefore The Local doesn't do them.

We talk about great dads, those who DO want to be involve, who do want to be part of a child's life. Who takes great care of the child.
I agree with you totally. It is easier to make a father looks bad and not just from the mother. Sometimes (often) the justice system contribute to it.
In this case, the guy wants to be involve, he should have the right. It is not a anonymous sperm donor, but someone who accept to do it in exchange if being part of his son's life.

I like EF. I think it is intelligent and a "cut above" most other online forums. I think the conversation is pretty smart and I'm pleased with myself for being (I hope) a solid part of it.
Then I read the journalism of the owners and it makes me feel a bit grubby and cast in the same mold as Daily Mail readers.
Mr Local - do you really think that this level of journalism matches the demographic of (largely) expats in Switzerland? I think you badly misjudge your audience
