Angry men

MANY BARBADIAN MEN are angry at being denied access to their children by “spiteful” mothers, though they are paying child maintenance and have been granted visiting rights by the law courts.
Chairman of the Men’s Educational Support Assoiation (MESA) Ralph Boyce made this disclosure yesterday after a service at the Vauxhall Methodist Church in Christ Church, where the installation of MESA’s nine executive members took place.
Boyce told the DAILY NATION that in order to urgently address the matter, the provisions must be made in the law to “establish a relationship between paying child maintenance and seeing the child”.
He said that often men visited MESA’s Garrison, St Michael office, sometimes in tears, and lamented that while they were paying the maintenance the mothers were preventing them from seeing the children.
