This is the heart rendering story of Dave Chick who was denied access to his daughter after been found guilty of violent and threatening conduct on the basis of probability.
Once contact is stopped through unjust accusations the courts must decide can it be in the best interests of the child to start it again. Dave thought so and scaled a series of cranes dressed as Spiderman to highlight his case and that of the fathers’ rights movement.
Dave's story takes us from the family courts, up a near by crane and ends with a nomination for the Channel 4 Political contribution award 2003, it proves that one man can make a difference. I can't help but think Robert Bruce would have been equally inspired by Dave's story as he was his own spider.
Every father owes a debt of gratitude to Dave Chick for his high profile high wire protests. Spiderman, Spiderman, goes anywhere a spider without a restraining order against it can.
