Glenn Sacks sees the same thing I saw in this recent Boston Globe story. It sometimes feels to me as if everyone has taken some kind of “stupid pill” and fails to see that a bond that develops between a father an child is just as important, just as necessary, as the bond between mother and child. This goes for fathers and infants, just the same as for fathers and teenagers. The reason that this entire issue of judicial discretion comes up, is that we have forgotten, as a society, that there are such things as fundamental rights. It was always just assumed by earlier generations that no one would ever question the right of a father or mother to see or hold or in any other way have contact with his or her own child. Even now, it “freaks me out”, that this kind of thing even needs to be expressed! How did we get to this point? Anyway, many thanks to Glenn for his stalwart stand against the insanity that has gripped our civilization.
