“The fathers who only see their children on a computer screen: It’s a heartbreaking sign of our times…” From the Daily Mail. The article goes on “A landmark legal ruling in 2011 has led to a rapid rise in ‘Skype dads’ … With children living half way around the world relationships can suffer”.

But read on and the context is divorce rather than the immigration rules. I haven’t noticed the same coverage of the recent Children’s Commissioner report, oddly, just a standard Press Association news report.
