Dave:  Fuel for the fire, if you wish...

... And how does physically appearing in a passport office prove  
parentage?
With family structures no longer conforming to some norm, typical parent
models no longer apply.  And what about single parent families.  How  
does a
woman prove, "I never saw him again after that night?"

I wish my government was as concerned about protecting us from guns.   
I am
sure that the number of children shot in gun accidents, or worse,
intentionally, far exceed the number of children abducted by a parent.
