Pres­i­dent of the Fa­thers’ As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (FATT), Rhon­dall Fee­les, is re­ject­ing crit­i­cisms of his or­gan­i­sa­tion’s re­cent claims on pa­ter­ni­ty fraud that were made at a press con­fer­ence on Tues­day. He is in­sist­ing that the da­ta he pre­sent­ed is cred­i­ble and ground­ed in re­al cas­es.

Fee­les was re­spond­ing to a state­ment is­sued by the Caribbean As­so­ci­a­tion for Fem­i­nist Re­search and Ac­tion (CAFRA TT), which ques­tioned the va­lid­i­ty of FATT’s fig­ures and cau­tioned against the mis­use of sta­tis­tics in the na­tion­al de­bate on pa­ter­ni­ty test­ing.
