I would never deny a father access to his child based solely on what the unwed mother writes down on a piece of paper.
If he is on the birth certificate, he is the father.
Is there a reason we are just denying these fathers the right to see their children? I find most custody issues with this situation just done out of pure spite, it only hurts the child.
If there IS a reason to stop the father from seeing the child, it needs to be court documented (even police protection order!)
