Biology does not always give entitlement to be a parent - one has to be a responsible parent otherwise one damages a child. The damage is beyond repair. It's just not safe on that front. The police do not think so either.

you posted a good point and I agree. The law does provide for this as custody and access regimes are to be determined by applying the best interest test. However, "police" are in no position to determine this as they lack the pedigree and credentials for same.

On the financial front, he'll do everything possible to avoid taking responsability until the day he dies, unless it means going to jail - which would happen if the laws for child support neglect were stronger.

I agree, some individuals are like that, but not all. I am not clear how a person would be able to fulfill an support obligation if they were in jail and hence costing tax payers money to be institutionalized in such facilities. I do believe the FRO has the right concept for collection, but they are in dire need of improvement and turn around time.
