Fathers 4 Justice (or F4J) began as a fathers’ rights organization in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom branch was temporarily disbanded in January 2006, following reports of an alleged plot by members to kidnap the son of then current Prime Minister Tony Blair. Just months later the group bounced back, taking the BBC's live National Lottery Show off air. A book about the organisation written by it's founder Matt O'Connor is published this August 2007.

Origins

Fathers 4 Justice was founded by Matt O'Connor, a marketing consultant and father of three. O'Connor had become incensed with family law after a court temporarily barred him from seeing his two young sons outside of a contact centre, following separation from his wife in 2000. On 17 December 2002, O’Connor and a small group of supporters staged their first protest by storming the Royal Courts of Justice dressed as Father Christmas. In January 2003 O'Connor officially founded Fathers 4 Justice. Initially the group targeted the homes of family court judges and family lawyers' homes and offices with traditional protests.

Activities

The protest form that has most characterised Fathers 4 Justice has been its members dressing as comic book superheroes and other easily recognizable characters to scale public buildings and monuments. Stunts included supporters storming courts dressed in Father Christmas outfits, clapping the Government's ‘Children’s Minister’ in handcuffs, and most notably group member Jason Hatch climbing onto Buckingham Palace dressed as Batman. Buckingham Palace and the Victoria Memorial. ...


F4J's campaigning policy has always been that its organised publicity stunts and protests should be humorous, non-violent, and ultimately harmless. The group advocated non-violent protests aiming to cause disruption rather than damage. The choice of the superhero costumes was based on the claim that "fathers have the role of superhero in the lives of children". Protests have not been restricted simply to fathers as female supporters have adopted similar disguises and joined in the protests.


Protests of a similar nature occurred outside the United Kingdom, a protest by a member dressed as Robin the Boy Wonder was held for twelve hours on the Pattullo Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

On 19 May 2004, a major alert was caused when two members of the group threw purple flour bombs at Tony Blair during Prime Minister's Questions at the House of Commons.[5] This protest, along with a purple powder attack on the Liberal Democrat candidate in the 2004 Hartlepool by-election, Jody Dunn, appeared to signal a departure from the group's declared profession of nonviolence.

Internal strife

Shortly after the May 2005 election, Matt O’Connor called a truce with CAFCASS, the government body responsible for providing reports on the suitability of non-resident parent contact.[6] In June 2005 a breakaway group was formed, the ‘Real Fathers For Justice’. Disillusioned with F4J founder Matt O'Connor, the rebels called for democratic control of the pressure group and financial accountability. Since its formation the group has continued a campaign of direct action. On 6 February 2006 actvist Mike Downes pelted education secretary Ruth Kelly with an egg outside Salford Magistrates Court. In April 2006 two of their members climbed onto Westminster Abbey, with a dummy attached to a cross. In May 2006 activist Andrew Tindale handcuffed himself to Minister Beverly Hughes at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester. In July two activists ran onto the centre court at Wimbledon during the quarter final match between Roger Federer and Mario Ancic. The pair wore t-shirts with the Wimbledon logo and the slogan "Family Law: It's a Racket". Carrying Rackets and tennis balls, one of them managed to serve a ball at the Royal Box before being led away by security.

In November 2005, the group suffered further negative publicity when the prime-time ITV programme Tonight With Trevor McDonald exposed some of its members as violent and obnoxious in their behaviour. However, it was claimed that these were never members in the first place and the program gave no right to reply. Some members were expelled but the organisation defended its position and attacked the documentary. On 23 November 2005, Fathers 4 Justice ended its truce with CAFCASS and the Child Support Agency, calling for a public inquiry into family law.

F4J temporarily disbands

During January 2006 the British newspaper The Sun published a story in which it claimed that members on the fringes of Fathers 4 Justice planned to kidnap Leo Blair, the young son of former Prime Minister Tony Blair 'for a few hours as a symbolic gesture'. The Police said that they were not aware of such a plan, but probably it had never got beyond 'the chattering stage'.[7] Downing Street refused to confirm or deny the existence of a plot as it does not comment on matters concerning the Prime Minister's children.

Fathers 4 Justice founder Matt O'Connor condemned the alleged action and threatened to shut down the campaign. Within days, Fathers 4 Justice had been disbanded.[8]


However, an F4J splinter group, the 'Real F4J', continued operating. On April 13, 2006, Maundy Thursday, two members climbed 40 feet up Westminster Abbey with a dummy on a cross, claiming that fathers are being "crucified" in the courts over access to their children.[9] April 13 is the 103rd day of the year (104th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On May 20, 2006, Fathers 4 Justice protested during the showing of the BBC lottery show "The National Lottery: Jet Set". The show had to be taken off-air for several minutes after six Fathers 4 Justice protesters ran from the audience onto the stage displaying posters[10]. The protesters were soon removed from the studio and the lottery draws continued as usual, albeit rushed so the show finished in time for the annual Eurovision Song Contest.

There was no widely publicised further action until 29 November of that year, when veteran campaigner Jonathan Stanesby climbed onto the roof of family court Judge David Tyzack's home, dressed as Santa Claus. The story was publicised after Stanesby claimed the judge was holding a shotgun. Judge Tyzack had, however, taken the gun out thinking the noise on the roof was a bird[citation needed]. Stanesby explained to reporters he was still restricted to seeing his daughter one weekend every two weeks.

Impact

Fathers 4 Justice's main impact remains upon media coverage and legal treatment of fathers' rights issues in the UK. The use of high-profile and disruptive stunts has garnered significant UK media coverage. Matt O'Connor has sold the rights to his story to Harbour Pictures, the firm behind the film "Calendar Girls"[citation needed]. It has been written by Shameless writer Danny Brocklehurst. Calendar Girls is a British film of 2003, based on the true story of a group of Yorkshire women who produce a nude calendar to raise money for leukemia research, under the auspices of the Womens Institute. ...


A significant, unintended result of the F4J campaign has been the exposure of flaws in security at high profile British institutions such as Buckingham Palace and the House of Commons, at a time when the British government is particularly concerned with the threat of terror attacks by al-Qaeda-affiliated groups.

Donations to the group went to a non-profit limited company owned by O’Connor. F4J does not have charitable status, but in June 2005 the group launched a related charitable foundation, Fathers 4 Justice Foundation, to work with young offenders from fatherless families.


Criticism

Critics of the organisation claim that the inequalities which F4J claim to fight against are exaggerated. For example, one of the primary goals of F4J is to establish equal parenting rights after divorce, claiming that in 40% of family court cases the father is denied or is restricted in contact with their children.


Often opponents and supporters appear to inhabit completely different worlds. Court staff and supporters cite the 'best interest of the child' principle, and point out that in the majority of cases contact orders are made. F4J activists frequently object per se to attending court in order to be granted contact with their children, to contact with their children being constrained by legal order and promote the adoption of an assumption of 50/50 parenting. Defenders of the status quo hold that the 'best interests' of the child must be paramount, and that on occasions this will mean limiting the access of an absent parent to their children. Other critics have challenged that while there are occasions that fathers are prevented from seeing their children, there are other cases of absent fathers failing to maintain contact even when allowed by the courts, or making agreed maintenance payments[citation needed]. However, the relevance of this is disputable since some mothers are neglectful too.


Fathers For Justice claim that the good intention of lawmakers (The Children Act was intended to make child contact matter easier) has been undone by an institutionalised sexism which discriminates against fathers. Critics counter that judges are required to operate under a "presumption of contact" principle in family courts which forces them to provide, whenever possible, contact between fathers and their children. Mainstream media outlets such as the terrestial television channels have gone as far as to attack this principle (which is in any event over-riden by the 'best interest' mantra) for being biased in favour of men, as they say it has led to children being forced to see fathers who have abused them in the past[citation needed].

Members of the group are also alleged to have conducted a variety of intimidating attacks in order to terrorise court staff and family lawyers. These attacks include throwing purple (the group's colour) paint on the outside of CAFCASS buildings, pushing rotten meat/fish through letterboxes, sending fake bombs, hate mail and verbal abuse. NAPO (the union for CAFCASS staff) have compiled a file of the incidents. Fathers 4 Justice have admitted to incidents involving CAFCASS property but deny involvement in the harassment of individuals. (see: fraught nature of protest, above) During protests outside CAFCASS offices individual case workers were identified by name in a similar style to animal rights protesters. One office was invaded by F4J members who tied up an employee said to suffer from a heart condition.[12] The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS) is a national non-departmental public body for England and Wales set up to safeguard and promote the welfare of children involved in family court proceedings. ...
