Court Says Boy Has Two Fathers

(UK) Yeah, this makes a whole lot of sense.

In the case, the country's most senior family court judge, Sir Mark Potter, decided that a man who brought up the boy believing him to be his own child was entitled to parental rights - even though he has turned out not be the father.

The ruling means that the child now effectively has two fathers and that the person who raised him, referred to only as Mr A, has the same rights as the boy's biological parent.

The court ruled in the man's favour, despite the mother's plea that he will use his role as a father "in an officious and controlling manner, productive of strife rather than harmony".

So, not only are courts diminishing the sanctity of marriage as a union between man and woman, they are also diminishing the legal importance of conception.

The country's most senior family court judge should go on leave and take a course in biology. Either that or retire.
