Well done, Family Court
Fri Feb 15, 2013
Editor: I read a letter on page 12 of your paper dated Friday, February 8, 2013, headlined “What is going on in the family court,â and asked myself what is really going on in SVG? Are things really so bad that people have to resort to such drivel to justify charging a few dollars. {{more}}
The name at the end of the article is Rockelle Payne. I know a Rockelle Payne, and I am sure she did not pen this article of her own volition.
After reading the article, I was so incensed, that I called the fatherâs telephone number in England and, bingo, the child answered. I said “Hello! is that *******?â She replied “yes, it is.â After exchanging pleasantries, we had a conversation that went as follows: I started by asking “did you really want to go back to England?â Her answer was an emphatic yes. “Are you happy there now?â “Yes! Mr P.â “Didnât you want to remain in St. Vincent?â “Noâ! “And you are sure about that?â “Yes, I am sure Mr P.â “Have you spoken to your Mom since you got backâ? “Yes, Mr Pâ. “Did you call her?â “No, she called me.â “How many times?â “Three times Mr Pâ. “And what did she say to you?â, “Nothing muchâ. “Did she let you speak to your brother?â “No! I wanted to, but she didnât let me; she said he would cry.â
I challenge Searchlight Newspaper, Rockelle, or any do-gooder, politically motivated lawyer or otherwise, to find anyone in the UK who would have a bad word to say about the father, whether in his role as a father, or any other aspect of his life.
I say “WELL DONE, FAMILY COURTâ.
