LOVE tug schoolgirl Molly Campbell yesterday vowed to run away
again if she is sent back to Scotland to live with her mother
Louise.
Insisting she wanted to stay in Pakistan with her dad Sajad
Rana, tearful Molly, 12, said: "I don't want to go back
to that horrible place, there's fighting there all the time.
"I really don't like my mum now. I'm getting older and
can see what she's really like.
"There's nothing to make me go back to Scotland. I used
to get called 'Paki' at school. I'm just going to run away again.
I really love my dad. We're very close and I want to stay here
with him."
Fathers groups are often given a bad press but so often we have
to ask what is wrong with a system that does not take notice of
what the children want. We have so many cases where the child
has no say at all take the Orkney one below, another one in renfrew
where there is proof of a young boy being abused, yet the authorities
refuse to admit it. Of course 14 of us can agree with Misbah about
the Western Isles but thats an old story, and again the authorities
refuse to admit to thier lies.
