In a recent letter to the editor, Arthur Dash critiques the misuse of statistics in a study cited by Rhondall Feeles of the Single Fathers’ Association of TT. Feeles referenced an unnamed laboratory study claiming that 143 out of 440 men who underwent paternity tests over five years were not the biological fathers of their children. Dash argues that extrapolating this statistic to the broader population is misleading, as it misrepresents the global rate of paternity discrepancies, which is realistically between one to four percent. Dash emphasizes that men seeking paternity tests often already suspect they are not the fathers, skewing the results. Moreover, even using Feeles’ data, two-thirds of the men tested were indeed the biological fathers, highlighting a troubling trend of men contesting child support responsibilities. Dash also points out that many women, especially those facing domestic violence or financial constraints, are reluctant to seek court orders for child support. The Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action (CAFRA TT) calls for addressing these issues to promote gender equality and respectful family relations. They advocate for readily available paternity tests without stigmatization and emphasize the importance of extended family networks in childcare. The letter concludes by urging society to reject harmful stereotypes and support families in navigating complex relationships.
