Children in the State
System (30 June 2018)
A few months ago, I had a brief conversation with a social worker
concerning children caught up in the State 'care' system, the Rotherham et al
rape gangs, the respective roles of Social Services and parents, and
various other aspects of the State's assistance (at least, as the State sees it)
of families in recent decades. Because our chat was necessarily very
brief, I subsequently revisited in a little more depth some of the topics we'd
touched upon, collating them into a letter to the social worker concerned, of
which this document is just a part.
The State Has a Terrible Secret: It Kidnaps Our Children
(03 May 2018)
"Imagine you're a single mother. You get injured in a car
accident, and a kind friend offers to look after your two young boys
while you're in hospital. You accept with relief. Three weeks later,
when you get home, you're still a bit shaky, so your friend suggests
it might be best of she has the boys for another few days. You are
unsure, but she is persuasive. First thing on Friday you send a text
saying you will pick them up from school. A few hours later - you've
been awaiting her reply, slightly puzzled at the delay - a text
pings back: ... how about revisiting the situation on Monday?..."
Not For Me to Interfere (15
March 2018)
"I was doing voluntary work as an Appropriate Adult when I was asked
to support a 12-year-old girl of mixed race who had been referred to
the police by her social workers for unruly and violent behaviour.
She was bright, sassy, very charismatic and had been let down by
every adult and social care service she was in contact with. She was
currently living in a children's home..."
Shorten Degree Courses - and Cull the Leftie Humanities
(23
December 2017)
While Mr Johnson, and hopefully Ms Somerville too, are
thinking about shorter degrees, I hope they will take time to
consider another improvement to higher education: fewer degrees ...
the nation would benefit, and not just financially, from having far
fewer humanities students and in the case of politics, sociology and
social work, no students at all..."
Corrupt Practices Disguised as Child-Welfare Campaigns
(02 December 2017)
"[C]ountless children are today being removed from their
families by governments, for what too often turn out to be wholly
inadequate and often quite fraudulent reasons ... Every year, the
number of children being removed from their families like this
continues to break all records. The total number of children now in
state 'care' in the UK is more than 90,000. And the families being
thus forcibly torn apart are then plunged into a nightmare
underworld, which stands every basic principle of British justice on
its head ... We are undoubtedly looking here at a very serious evil
which needs to be exposed, challenged, and fought with all the skill
and determination we can call on..."
Is Gay [sic] Adoption Wrong? The Children Say Yes
(26 November 2017)
"Today children's needs come a definite second to parents'
rights either to have them or to offload them. Mention Dr Bowlby's
groundbreaking research on the baby's prior need for maternal
attachment and expect to be told that a baby is capable of multiple
attachments and substitute figures will do ... The logic of
subordinating children's needs to adult rights is obvious. Once
daycare or fathers can substitute for mothers, so too can anyone,
whether or not they are the best substitute in terms of the
children's needs..."
We Had So Much to Offer a Vulnerable Child - But Were 'Too Indian'
to Adopt (02 September 2017)
"I am not surprised that the mother of a white Christian girl
should be upset that her daughter was placed by Tower Hamlets
council on London with a foster family reported to adhere to a
strict form of Islam. But my experience is very different - one in
which cultural sensibilities were taken into account, but to an
extreme and absurd degree..."
Courts Told Never to Ban Media After Tower Hamlets Foster Case
(£) (31 August 2017)
"Courts were ordered never to ban
the media from their buildings yesterday after journalists covering
the case of a Christian girl fostered by a Muslim family were
refused entry. Security staff were told to bar reporters from the
East London family court the day after the judge in the case praised
The Times for acting responsibly in raising 'very concerning maters'
of 'legitimate public interest'. Journalists were given increased
access to family court hearings by the government in 2009 after an
award-winning campaign by the The Times for open justice..."
Social Care: A Poem (30 July
2017)
"It is striking how often ordinary people, who find
themselves the victims of extraordinary wrongs, turn to poetry to
express themselves. ... I would like to publish these as I come
across them, for they say more than I can about the battle we fight
for truth and justice..."
The Depths of Britain's 'Worst Ever' Child Care Crisis
(24 September 2016)
"In a statement that should have
made us all sit up and take note, our top family judge, Lord Justice
Munby, last week warned that social workers are now taking so many
children into care that our 'child protection' system is facing an
unprecedented crisis. ... in over-reacting to the Baby P fiasco,
social workers have become astonishingly trigger-happy, removing far
too many children from their parents for wholly inadequate
reasons..."
Cameron's Talking Pie-in-the-Sky on Child Protection
(21 May 2016)
"A characteristic of modern governments is that, when
confronted with some massive genuine problem, their response is,
first, to ignore or deny it, but then eventually to half-admit that
there is a problem and come up with some half-baked proposals which
don't really address it at all. We saw yet another example last
Wednesday when our poor Queen had to read out an illiterate little
paragraph promising that her Government would introduce a Bill to
'ensure that children can be adopted without delay, improve the
standard of social work and opportunities for children in care in
England.'..."
Small Plants and Little Caterpillars
(16 January 2016)
"It has been fashionable for some
decades now, particularly amongst those who like to think of
themselves as experts in child-rearing and/or politically
progressive, to argue for child-centred parenting. They mean
by this that the child's 'wishes and feelings' must be at the
forefront of parenting..."
Social Workers Should Be Better 'Parents' To Vulnerable Children,
David Cameron Says (14 December
2015)
"The Prime Minister made an emotional appeal to childcare
professionals as he set out plans to allow the Government to take
over immediately poorly performing councils' children's services..."
David Cameron Has No Clue About Our 'Care' Industry
(24 October 2015)
"At the Tory conference, [David
Cameron] noted that the suicide rate among children formerly in care
was four times the national average, and that 70% of prostitutes had
likewise been in care (although the more usual figure is 50%). He
might have added that care-leavers represent more than a quarter of
our prison population and that only 9% reach university ... Cameron
[said] that the answer must be to 'speed up the adoption process'
... Alas, all this demonstrated, again, was how little Cameron
understands about what is going on in our 'care' system..."
Sentimental Headlines Mask Child 'Protection' Big Business
(31 October 2015)
"'National Adoption Week'
recently won front-page coverage from one tabloid newspaper with a
picture of a three-year-old child, Grace, headed: 'Heartbreaking
adoption plea: All I want is a mummy and daddy'. ... One odd feature
of this practice is that anyone else publishing pictures like this
would risk imprisonment for flouting the draconian secrecy rules
protecting the identity of every child in 'care'..."
The Judge Who Believes That Lawyers Always Tell the Truth
(29 August 2015)
"Among the many shocking features of our dysfunctional 'child
protection' system, one that stands out is how consistently families
are let down by the legal profession - not least by lawyers paid a t
public expense supposedly to represent their interests, who then
appear to do the very opposite..."

Association of Directors of Children's Services conference. Do we

Will Cameron's New Policy Chief Ensure Children Are Protected?
(11 July 2015)
"The most notable distinction of
Camilla Cavendish, the former Times journalist recently appointed by
David Cameron to oversee his Number 10 Policy Unit, was the campaign
she ran between 2006 and 2009 to expose the failings of our 'child
protection' system. For a series of articles showing why this had
become one of the most shocking scandals in modern Britain, she won
the Paul Foot award for campaigning journalism, summed up in 2008
when she listed '10 wholesale reforms' needed to get this horribly
corrupted system back on the rails. These included an end to much of
the secrecy that more than anything else had allowed this corruption
to flourish unreported..."
A Rising Tide of Anger Across Europe at 'Nazi' Social Workers
(07 June 2015)
"Even I was rather surprised to
see a newspaper headline reporting that the president of the Czech
Republic had accused the social workers of another European country
of acting 'like Nazis'. As it happens, he was not talking about our
own much-loved social workers but those of Norway..."
Child Protection Boss Paid Off With £134k...
(23 May 2015)
"A controversial child protection chief has quit her job with
a six-figure payoff - only to be immediately rehired on almost
£1,000 a day. Deputy children's commissar Sue Berelowitz, who was
criticised for failing to speak out about sexual abuse by British
Pakistani gangs, took voluntary redundancy from her £99,333-a-year
post on April 30. She received a pay-off worth £134,000. But the
next day she was rehired as a consultant, leading an inquiry into
family child abuse that she had been in charge of in her former
role..."
Children in Care - the Scandal That This Election Will Ignore
(04 April 2015)
"In the past few years, record numbers of children have been
taken by the government into a broken system. Over the coming weeks,
I hope to explore some of the huge political issues that will
scarcely be mentioned in this claustrophobically unreal election
campaign. This week it is what I have often described here as one of
the most disturbing scandals in Britain today, the catastrophic
state of our highly secretive ;child protection' system..."
Why Don't the Family Courts Obey the Law?
(14 February
2015)
"For two years, Lord Justice
Munby, the head of our family courts, has been heroically fighting
to restore some semblance of justice and common sense to our
horribly secretive and corrupted 'child protection' system, which I
have been reporting on here since 2009 as one of the most shocking
scandals in Britain today..."
Homosexual Marriage: Listen to the Children
(03 February 2015)
"As activist judges, a secular left media, and PC politicians
all work overtime to implement the radical homosexual agenda,
including homosexual marriage, the very people we should be
listening to in this debate are being completely ignore and
overlooked..."
Child Protection Party (31 January 2015)
"It has always concerned me that
the power differential between those who control the Child
Protection System and those who are subjugated to it is extreme. The
emphasis on removing children rather than working with the families
and solving the problem creates a power struggle which the children
and parents are not going to win..."
Suspended and Sent For 'Equality Training': Christian Magistrate Who
Said Adopted Child Needs Mum and Dad, Not Gay [sic] Parents
(18 January 2015)
"A Christian magistrate ... told
colleagues behind closed doors during an adoption case that he
thought it would be better for a child to be brought up in a
traditional family rather than by a gay [sic] couple. He was shocked
a week later when he found he had been reported to the judges'
watchdog for alleged prejudice
[Note from Bayith: because on Planet PC
the wants of homosexuals always trump the needs of children],
and was suspended from sitting on family court cases. ... He has
also been ordered to go an equality course before he is allowed back
in the courtroom..."
It Shouldn't Be a Crime To Be a Bad Parent
(03 December 2014)
"The criminal law is powerful: breach it
and you can lose your liberty. In a parenting context: breach it and
your children can also be taken into care. So, it is a cardinal
principle of a free society that criminal law is restricted to
dealing only with behaviour that should properly be criminalised.
Yet by expanding the offence of child cruelty to embrace emotional
harm,. the UK government's so-called Cinderella Law will criminalise
many aspects of normal family life. ... the line between the
innocent parent and the convicted parent will be at the discretion
of a law-enforcement officer. And that is a horrifying prospect..."
Hand Over Your Children to the State - The Emerging Reality of Child
Protection (26 November 2014)
"Ms Kidson ... was accused by
Hereford Social Services of trying to poison her young teenage
daughter, when in fact she had just sought a medical opinion at the
clinic of Dr Thierry Hertoghe based in Brussels. ... In March last
year without any contact with Ms Kidson, police and Social Workers
came to her home, arrested her and took the daughter into foster
care. Despite her mother being found not guilty the daughter has
still not been allowed home. On the surface this is yet another case
of the extraordinary and uncontrolled power of Social Services and
Child 'Protection' teams. Taking a peek at matters in Scotland
however we can see where the child 'protection' path really leads
and it does not look good..."
Withdraw Thy Foot... (October
2014)
"Social Services 'professionals' and
'experts' truly think their own families, their own children, their
own parenting methods, are safe from state interference and state
control. Today, it is true, they are. Today, the subjective winds of
Cultural Marxism's politically correct dogmas are behind Social
Services personnel. Today, they ask
the 'served' the question 'Do you think Social Services should be
involved?' and the 'served' give them the required answer,
because they fear what will happen to their children if they don't.
Today, it's only the 'lumpenproletariat' and the 'dissidents' who
find themselves monitored and their children removed. But the
winds always change direction eventually..."
Under 'Family Friendly' Tories, Yet More Children Go Into Care
(23 August 2014)
"It was curiously timely that
David Cameron's promise last week to put 'the family' at the heart
of all his government's policies should have coincided with the
release of figures showing that last month the number of
applications by social workers to take children into 'care' was the
highest on record..."
The Systemic War Against Fathers
(28 February 2014)

The Lunatics Take Over the Asylum in 'Caring'
Britain (04
January 2014)
"One of the most terrifying weapons our
'child protection' system uses against parents wishing to hold on to
children who have been forcibly removed is to have them helplessly
imprisoned in an asylum, certified under the Mental Health Act,
where they can no longer give social workers and other
'professionals' any more trouble..."
Today's Child-Snatchers Are As Evil As
Philomena's Nuns
(08 December 2013)
"We are very good at judging the
past and sneering at the misdeeds of our parents and grandparents.
We are not so good at seeing or condemning our own faults. A clever
new film, Philomena, is a good example of this. Judi Dench does a
wonderful job of portraying a badly wronged woman, robbed of her
child by cruel and bigoted Irish nuns in a grim convent, with the complicity of the State and the law. ... Modern audiences walk
out of the cinema congratulating themselves that they are not like
those nuns, and would never tolerate such things going on in their
midst. But as they do so, they are barely aware of a monstrous
scandal, similar in every way, now happening all over the
country..."
Children Advertised Like Pets For Sale
(24 August 2013)
"There are few things our 'child protection' system is keener
to enforce than the rigorous secrecy rules that it claims are vital
to protect the identity of children who have been removed from their
families. ... But when it comes to sending these children for
adoption, all the rules are suspended. ... Anonymity doesn't apply
in the case of adoption. It is hypocritical, and the result is
distasteful. ... [Children are] being advertised, much in the same
way that pedigree dogs or cats are offered for sale..."
Pelka: Social Workers Let Down the Children Who Really Need Them
(03 August 2013)
"It hardly needed Coventry's
senior MP to call for the resignation of the head of the city's
children's services to tell us that the awful death of little Daniel
Pelka represents one of the most glaring examples of a failure by
our 'child protection' system since the case of Peter Connolly hit
the headlines in 2008..."

New Family Court Guidelines Won't Improve a Rotten System for
Children (27 July 2013)
"Excitable coverage was given
last week to new draft guidelines issued by Sir James Munby, the
judge in charge of our family courts, which it was claimed would be
a groundbreaking move towards lifting the blanket of secrecy that
has allowed our 'child protection' system to become such a national

Our 'Child Protection' System is an International Scandal
(20 July 2013)
"A remarkable meeting recently
took place at the House of Commons, organised by John Hemming, the
only MP who for years has been battling on behalf of those thousands
of families being torn apart each year, for no good reason, by our
weirdly dysfunctional 'child protection' system..."
What Our Judges Forget When They Send Children Into Care
(29 June 2013)
"Since the start of 2008, when
the 'Baby P' scandal was in the headlines, applications by social
workers to take children into care have more than doubled, from
fewer than 400 a month to nearly 1,000. In England alone, 67,000
children are now in care. Yet many are so unhappy that, according to
the police, some 10,000 a year 'go missing'. Having followed
hundreds of such stories in recent years, few things have struck me
more forcefully than the number of children taken from their
families, often for the most dubious of reasons, who then, in
'care', report abuse and ill-treatment far worse than anything
alleged against the parents from whom they are removed..."
We Need to Rethink 'Bad' Parents (29 May 2013)
"We all make mistakes when
parenting. We try to be a friend rather than a parent, or we are too
strict when comfort is needed. ... Imagine what our parenting would
be like without resources to fall back on - like money, family,
friends and connections - and what might be revealed if our lives
were constantly scrutinized in public housing, in public hospitals,
in public child care, and at our child's public [state] school. This
is the situation for many..."
Scotland: Every Child to Have 'State Guardian'
From Birth (27 May 2013)
"Every child in Scotland is to be

justification of preventing 'child abuse'..."
Now It's a Social Worker For Every Child in
Scotland (25 May 2013)
"For anyone familiar with how our
'child protection' system often works in practice, rather loud alarm
bells might be rung by a Bill currently going through the Scottish
Parliament that takes the state's intervention in family life to a
startling new level. Under the Children and Young People (Scotland)
Bill, every child from birth will be given a 'named person', charged
with keeping an eye on that child's interests until it reaches
adulthood..."
Care Plan Sees Dystopian Future Arriving Early
(08 May 2013)
"About ten years ago, a bit bored
with my attempts to change the world, I decided to write a dystopian
science fiction novel. The conceit of this never-to-be-written book
was the complete collapse of privacy illustrated by the 'supporters'
that everyone was given when they had a child. In this futuristic
hell, as soon as a woman gave birth, a support worker would come and
live in her house..."

Bullying, Bungling, Social Services
(13 April 2013)
"Did you know that they: falsify reports and twist facts;
claim meetings have taken place that have not; alienate children
form their natural family to make adoption quicker; blackmail
grandparents into looking after children without support; have
meetings in secret without notifying those involved; shut out family
members who are willing to help; take control and you have no
recourse; still get away with this despite authorities being made
aware of the problem; remove children from families without good
reason. We continually received complaints, concerns, worries, and
fears form families about Social Services and how they operate..."
The Worst Scandal I Have Seen in My 50-Year
Career (13
October 2012)
"Scarcely a week goes by without more
evidence emerging to indicate that our 'child protection' system is
so dysfunctional that it should be looked on as a major national
scandal. ... For three years I have been investigating scores of
cases of children seized from their parents for what appear to quite
absurd reasons. This outrage has not yet come to the centre of
national attention only because our child protection system hides
its workings behind a veil of secrecy. I have been amazed to
discover how our family courts routinely turn all the cherished
principles of British justice upside down. The most bizarre
allegations, based on hearsay, can be levelled against parents who
are then denied the right to challenge them. ... I summarise three
of them here..."
Psychiatrists Snatching Our Children? That's
Stalin's Trick (24 March 2012)
"I must continue to warn, as long
as I can, against the threats to our freedom now massing on all
sides. My blood ran cold at the story of a psychiatrist who is
alleged to have labelled parents with mental 'disorders' so that
their children were snatched away from them..."
Social Services Deliberate Destruction of a
Family (12 December 2011)
"Their system works like this: First, Social Services get
their set against you - under the heading of 'RISK'. It may be next
door neighbours, school, jealous/vindictive family, a previous error
on your part, but one you have paid for and are now 'free' of. It
doesn't matter; you are now on their radar..."
The Real Scandal of Our Care System is Still Overlooked
(05 November 2011)
"Two figures alone might give us a hint that something very
odd is going on in the care system supposedly set up to protect the
interests of the children under the 1989 Children Act. Once again,
the number of children taken into care has broken all records this
year. There are, at present, more than 65,000 of them in England..."
Best Interests of the Child (23 June 2011)
"The concept of the 'best
interests of the child' is a universal theme expressed in a variety
of international ... instruments of law and practice. But is it
anything more than a theme? Does it actually have content? I am not
certain that it does. It is cited with conviction in child
protection care proceedings and custody battles but why?..."
Ombudsman Could Investigate Child 'Snatching' By Courts
(06 March 2011)
"The move follows claims by
campaigners that social workers are too eager to take children into
care in cases where there is little clear-cut evidence they have
been abused by their parents. They also claim that secretive family
courts too readily endorse the actions of social workers at the
expense of children's best interests..."
Family Law Division, Cafcass, Contact Centres
(08 September 2010)
"Bias, vested interest, conflict of interest, lies & deceit
... National newspapers and the media are increasingly reporting the
abuse and victimisation of parents by Courts, Social services, and
supporting organisations in cases where the children are falsely
seemed to be abused and/or at risk. There has also been a sudden
explosion of cases of 'child snatching' by the State, whereby
children have been taken from parents under cover of lies, false
evidence and perjury in Court, perpetrated by the very governmental
organisations claiming to protect families and children..."
Wake Up Watchmen - Our Children Are Being Stolen by the State
(15 July 2010)
"UK Courts are now empowered to
gag the press, media and internet UK-wide from reporting family
court cases. That they can initiate this action from within a court
that is already barred to the public and where press representatives
are threatened with court action if they dare publish, is the clear
start of a police state. The greatest lie is that the gagging is to
protect the interests of the child. In fact the interests of the
child comes a very poor second to the need for a cluster of firms
and individuals to earn fees form the court case and 'protection' of
the child..."
Social Worker: 'All Homeschoolers Get

November 2008)
"The Smiths (name changed to protect privacy), an HSDLA member

The Families In Your Churches May Not Be Safe

Family Justice: the Secret State That Steals
Our Children (06 July
2008)
"Two weeks ago I got a phone call from a woman I hadn't seen
for four years. She was calling to tell me that she was moving
abroad, unable to bear the pain of living in the same country as the
daughter she is no longer allowed to see. ... Her story had been
just so incredible. She described a world where courts need no
criminal conviction to remove your child, only the word of a
psychiatrist or doctor, and can deny you the chance to call any
expert in your defence. A world that uses the 'welfare of the child'
to gag you from discussing your case. Where even if you prove
yourself innocent on appeal, your children may already haven been
adopted: in which case you will never be allowed to contact them
again..."
How Social Services Are Paid Bonuses to Snatch
Babies for Adoption (31
January 2008)
"For a mother, there can be no greater horror than having a
baby snatched away by the State at birth. The women to whom it has
happened say their lives are ruined for ever - and goodness knows
what longterm effect it has on the child. Most never recover from
this trauma. ... [S]ocial workers seize the newborn, sometimes
within minutes of its first cry and often on the flimsiest of
excuses. Yet this disturbing scenario is played out every day..."
Vulnerable Children Cry For Help

Face the Facts: Forced Adoption
(24 August 2007)
"This week we investigate so called 'forced adoptions' - part

parents who say their children have been taken from them
unjustly..."
Guilty of Child Abuse! (23 August 2007)
"For
a brief time this week, until it was taken down, there was an
extraordinary posting on YouTube. It was a covert recording, made by
a 34-year-old mother, of her meeting with the social worker who
wants to take her next baby into care. Had it been staged, critics
would have called it a caricature. A robotic official orders the
sobbing mother to stay in the hospital until his colleagues come to
remove her new baby. He refuses her desperate pleas to be monitored
with the baby at home. He explains in the tones of a traffic warden
the inconvenience of delivering her breast milk. He then lets drop
an astonishing admission: that Calderdale Council is pursuing a
court order despite there being "no immediate risk to your child
from yourselves". Will he say that in court? We will not know, of
course, for the court will sit in secret. Such a chilling drama
plays to our deepest fears of state tyranny. There is something
wrong with the system..."
Adverse Effects of Child Protection on Public

Letter to Prof. Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer,
DoH, from Jean Robinson, on behalf of AIMS: "Dear Liam, You may
recall that we sent you our analysis of our first 50 or so child
protection cases when you first started looking at problems with
medical expert witnesses. ... We are now so concerned at the adverse
effects of child protection procedures in the UK that we felt we had
to write to you. ... The following list is not exhaustive, but gives
examples of typical problems..."

The Rank Hypocrisy of Family Court Judges
(24 May 2007)
"I was gratified this week to
find than an article I wrote in December [see
Family Courts are the B-Side of the Law below] has
been quoted in full by the Court of Appeal. It is flattering that Mr
Justice Munby takes The Times seriously. It is of more import
that he decided to publish his judgment on the case that I wrote
about six months ago. For it is only when judges make their
reasoning public that we can start to debate the grounds on which
children should be taken into care..."
The Forces of Secrecy are Prevailing
(29 March 2007)
"Last week a High Court judge
denounced the 'nightmare' suffered by a couple who were wrongly
accused of harming their baby son. They were separated from that
child for 12 months, the first and formative year of his life.
During that time the mother became pregnant again but had an
abortion, because she could not bear to risk the authorities taking
that child too. So those who rushed to judgment ruined four
lives..."
Babies Are Being Snatched For Adoption
(29 January 2007)
"The government is denying that social workers are targeting
babies for adoption. Listening to desperate calls from pregnant
women or mothers of new babies and toddlers on our help-line would

Family Courts are the B-Side of the Law
(21 December 2006)
"What a strange, fumbling kind of justice system it is that
condemns a woman as an unfit mother for the heinous crime of

Guilty Until Proved Innocent: the Grotesque
Reality of Family Courts
(17 June 2006)
"There is something I wanted to write about today. But I
cannot. I cannot even tell you that I cannot tell you, because to do
so might be to imply what it was I wanted to write about. And that
might lead you to infer that I was referring to a situation that I
should not refer to. Get it? No? I am beginning to understand why so
few journalists write about cases in the family courts. The lawyers
are patiently diminishing my file of potential cases week by week.
But at least I am learning about the armoury of secrecy that social
services can deploy which prevents scrutiny of the the removal of
children from their parents..."
In Good Faith? A Bad Excuse (02 March 2006)
"Since the High Court overruled
the General Medical Council and reinstated Professor Sir Roy Meadow
it has been 12 days and counting. Yet the implications have
not yet been fully understood. You can get away with being
wrong, the judgment seems to say, as long as you were wrong in good
faith. You should not be disciplined by your professional
body, even if that body deems that you have broken its rules.

Social Services Myths and Realities
(2006)
"To whoever needs the information required to challenge
social services: Family court secrecy protects the identity of
the children; Social workers pathetic 'damned if we do and damned if
we don't' excuse for their actions; Social workers, judges, foster
carers and heads of special schools all do what they can to reunite
children with their parents; 'The welfare of the children is
paramount'; The British legal system is widely admired through the
world and the family courts are fair and highly respected in other
countries..."
Social Services and Golden Rules for Parents
(2006)
"Take extreme care if you need to
contact social services for help and advice. Social services are
removing children because the parents have a low IQ, the house is
untidy, the parents are arguing, or that there is no 'routine' set
for the children. Cases like these have been documented recently in
many newspapers and on TV. It is a public disgrace..."

Families Denied Justice
(16 January 2005)
"The iron law of all bureaucracies is 'first we protect
ourselves'. In an ideal world they would look to free themselves
from scrutiny by operating under the cover of secrecy. They would
strive to deflect criticism by maintaining the pretence that it was
in the public interest to operate in absolute privacy. If they could
go further they would then make a breach of their secrecy a crime
punishable with all penalties up to and including imprisonment. In
an ideal world all bureaucracies would want to achieve the state of
perfect irresponsibility achieved by the Family Division of the High
Court..."
If They Come For Your Child: Guarding Against
State Intrusion Into Your Home (1994)
"Aggressive policies of child
protective agencies have resulted in many families being unjustly
torn apart. Intervention is often based on nothing more than
suspicion of potential abuse, often reported anonymously by others
outside the family. State intervention is based on a philosophical
world view that is at odds with biblical faith, ... children are
viewed as belonging to the state, not to the parents or to God..."
It Can't Happen Here
(March 1993)
"Twelve-year-old David didn't
like his Christian parents' discipline. He didn't like having to go
to church; he didn't like having to do household chores. He didn't
like being told that he couldn't listen to rock music or wear
t-shirts depicting satanic symbolism. He didn't like being told he's
too young to date. So David told his school counselor that his
parents were abusing him. His counselor contacted Child Protective
Services and requested intervention..."

Forced Adoption UK
(30 October 2015)
[Please
note that the sound disappears periodically.]
"Great Britain is one of two
European countries where 'forced adoption' takes place, whereby a
child's biological parents are given no say in the decision to give
up their offspring. The stated motive for the practice is putting
the child's interests first, but opponents insist that social
workers often abuse their powers simply to meet targets. Human
rights activists have raised concerns about the fairness of the
system. They believe child protection services often act on false
allegations and operate under vague definitions of child abuse to
forcibly remove children from their natural parents. Many families
have had to flee the country just to keep their kids."

PETITION:
The Secrecy of the Family Courts Should Be
Lifted NOW (20 May 2011)
"This petition was started by Jane Davies in the streets of
Carmarthen and published on Unity - Injustice. It is an expression
of campaigning efforts by many individuals, organisations and John
Hemming as the first and foremost MP. ... 'We, the undersigned,
believe that in the best interest of the Child, and because it is
impossible to defend a system from accusation of bias and
discrimination if it operates behind closed doors, the secrecy of
Family Courts should be lifted NOW'."
Social Care: A Poem
by
Anne Murray
"It has
become apparent that, in this modern day,
our health and social services are rife with compliancy.
"And if you
dare to tell them, this system isn't right,
Prepare yourself for battle; you're going to have a fight.
"They twist
and turn the subject; to them we're all the same,
They will take away your dignity, and blacken your good name.
"Then
you'll be abandoned, to suffer a bureaucratic fate,
Targeted by the social sharks; that use our babies as bait.
"The
destruction of the family will be their only goal,
It has become apparent: the social care system has no soul"
Withdraw
Thy Foot...
"God gave children to parents,
not to
the State, to love, nurture, teach, discipline, and train up into adulthood. It does
not take a 'village' or the
'Collective' or State-run 'Care' homes to raise a
child; it takes a loving and biological/adoptive/foster family.
Please see the article
Communism and the Family for the ideology underlying the
'Collective'.

power of their hand. ...
So they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage"
