One More Way in Which Fathers Have No Rights

Not PC sent me this story from the Vancouver Province, which is about a court battle a father lost to have his newborn children given hyphenated last names. The mother instead registered the two sons under her own last name and fled (kidnapped) with the boys. "When he found her living on Vancouver Island, he said, she told him "to go to hell." "She said if I didn't like it, she'd say I was being violent and stalking her."" Excerpts of the judicial decision are included, which explicitly state that as a father, he has no rights. It's a very frustrating and depressing story. Source: The Province [Canadian newspaper]
