You suggested the child custody issues in the UK are heavily slanted towards women which is demonstrably and patently false. They're slanted towards the person who has been the primary caregiver in that child's life which tends to be the mother. Child access issues are skewed in favour of the father's wishes so heavily that it's bordering on criminality. Children have been abused - and in some thankfully very rare incidents, killed - thanks to court-ordered access for violent fathers. You will find no such stats for mothers. Arguing that the situation is not gendered is at best unscientific and not supported by the data at all... at worst it's a straight up lie based in bias.

My point that I was trying to make is that often the woman will win custodial battles and actually the child can be used as a weapon in such cases. The mother might be the primary caregiver because they haven't allowed that child access to their father or restricted it.

Edit; you say no stats there have been two very big case file reviews that I know of where a baby or child has died at the hands of their mother from abuse.

Oh right, thanks for telling me my own occupation and skill level along with my professional qualifications. I have included that within my CV. Thank you for your service . And I'm not banded btw
