| Summary |
Brisbane man Jayson Dalton took the lives of his two small children, Jessie and Patrick, and then killed himself. Dalton had been a doting father who lavished love and attention on his children. So why did he take their lives? The tragedy followed what Jayson Dalton told his children was "a bad day in court". On the Friday before, he had failed in his application to the Family Court to have "shared care" of his children. For the children's mother, Dionne Dalton, it was the final betrayal by the man she had loved and married three years earlier. Four Corners tells the story of this family breakdown in the context of the Government's recent initiatives to reform the Family Court system, and the rising political influence of men's groups. Liz Jackson has obtained exclusive and intimate interviews with members of both of the families affected, legal representatives and the men who counselled Jayson Dalton in the weeks before his death.--Kanopy |
