All I can say about this is why bring the kids into it. Talk about self importance getting in the way. This bloke, and Farquarson who drowned his 3 kids in a Winchelsea dam, should have just killed themselves, What they wouldn't like to hear is that the kids would've got over it too, and probably found themselves a more suitable male role model anyhow.
On a side note probably the only decent thing Howard did in his 10 years was even up the ratios for Dad's, both access wise and with access to family payments. What this fool today didn't realise is the hard work and suffering without their kids that a lot of Dads have gone thru to get him the rights that he already had- and then he goes and sets back single Dads 20 years with one foolish action.
