One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life  (Psalm 27:4)

The State as Parent
State Intrusion into the Sanctity and Privacy of the Family

"We must remove the children from the crude influence of their families.
We must take them over and, to speak frankly, nationalize them
"

"[T]he most vulnerable children in our society ... are in our care; we, the state, are their parents"

"The first thing that a totalitarian regime tries to do is to get at the children,
to distance them from the subversive, varied influences of their families,
and indoctrinate them in their rulers' view of the world"

"Above all things, the child needs protecting from the state"

"The first thing that a totalitarian regime tries to do is to get at the children,
to distance them from the subversive, varied influences of their families, and indoctrinate them in their rulers' view of the world"

[
UK Supreme Court, Judgement, The Christian Institute and Others v The Lord Advocate (Scotland), 28:07:16, para. 73]

"Put starkly, the state by its actions has denied these parents the right to decide for themselves, within the privacy of the family,
what in their view, as devoted parents, is in the best interests of their children - a matter which, to speak plainly, is no business of the state"
[
Sir James Munby, President of the Family Division of the High Court of Justice, 19:01:2017, para.21]

"Perhaps those words will now be quoted to every Government busy-body, every ardent searcher for parental non-conformity,
every state employee who believes interfering in family life is 'only doing their job'.
Perhaps this edict will echo from doorsteps and family homes where love resides with all of its human blemishes and quirks.  I'd like to think so"

No Business of the State]

 

Medway  (2010-2018)

"Your son will never come back home" [Ian Sutherland, Medway Director of Children's and Adult's Services, to Eugene Lukjanenko].  Please note that Ian Sutherland is married to Ruth Sutherland, CEO The Samaritans.

Father in Care Case Faces Protest Charge  (17 May 2018)

"The story first started in 2010 when Mr Lukjanenko's son, 'J', as we must call him, was taken into care for the first time. His father, who is a single parent, left his son, 8 at the time, home alone. 'J' got into some trouble with a neighbour's son ... The fire brigade attended ... It then emerged Mr Lukjanenko had left 'J' alone in the house. Rather than warn Mr Lukjanenko not to leave his son alone gain, Medway Council took his son away. There is little evidence the Council tried to keep this family together. That is what social workers are supposed to do, except in the most extreme cases of abuse or neglect..."

Eugene Lukjanenko is Out of Prison  (05 April 2018)

"Dear friends! Thank you so much for your ongoing support! I was released on the 23rd of March. ... I would commend highly Elmley prison officials who did their best to facilitate my son visiting me in prison and negotiating with Medway. So prison officials act as human rights protectors, they simply could not understand why I was imprisoned. I need to be confidential as the process is not finished yet. You know me and my son's aim is to be reunited..."

VIDEO:  UK Column News  (05 February 2018)

The boy's grandfather was a survivor from the Jewish death camps "this was causing emotional harm to the child, and also that the father had experienced anti-semitic treatment while he was in Eastern Europe aswell, so this was causing a problem for the child, therefore Eugene was an unfit father and the child had to be removed from him. This is the most unbelievable piece of child stealing by the State ... Medway Council's case: '[the son] has difficulties in being able to say, talk or highlight anything negative about Mr. Lukjanenko.'..."

Hero Dad Eugene Lukjanenko Near Death in HM Prison Elmley  (23 January 2018)

"Prisoner A6309EC was unjustly imprisoned for eight months by a 'family' court judge in November last year, for the 'crime' of contempt of court (yes, that would be the same court that kidnapped the hero father's son) ... 'Family' Courts regularly break the law and get away with it, or make up the law as they go along, because the secrecy of 'family' courts means that judges', lawyers', police officers' and social workers' dirty deeds are extremely unlikely to be the subject of proper public scrutiny. But hero dad Eugene Lukjanenko used social media to get his message across to a wider public, despite all the powers of the State tyranny deployed against him. That's what got him jailed: telling the truth to the public about the serious corruption and depravity of the 'family' court system..."

Family Court Judge Must Explain Why Pianist Jailed  (20 January 2018)

"Former Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming says the man is on hunger strike in a prison hospital after being jailed for contempt of court by a family court judge late last year. ... The man, who was living in Kent, has been embroiled in a long-running family court dispute with social services at Medway Council over the care of his teenage son. Detail of the dispute has emerged in rulings published on legal websites in recent years following private family court hearings..."

VIDEO:  UK Column News  (10 January 2018)

"The argument successfully given by Medway Council's Children's Services was that Mr. Lukjanenko was not a fit father, and the was risk of 'future emotional harm' of Mr. Lukjanenko's son, because, before Mr. Lukjanenko's own birth, Mr. Lukjanenko senior - the boy's grandfather - had been a Jewish victim of the holocaust, and Medway Council's case was that the boy had nothing bad to say about his father, and therefore it must be an abusive father/son relationship..."

Eugene Lukjanenko is in Prison  (02 December 2017)

"Eugene is a loving father trying to do a good job of raising his son and his 'reward' is eight months of prison in England ... Mr. Lukjanenko cannot live comfortably after his son was stolen from him by the British S.S. (Social Services). It is an amazing though not uncommon story these days..."

YOUTUBE:  Eugene Lukjanenko a UK National Hero for Children and Families  (08 May 2017)

"Westminster: Give back our children and stop Forced Adoption. God commands believers to make peace with each other and protect each other against evil. Come, let us unite and rescue all children who are taken away from their family. 'Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them' (Psalm 17:7). Justice for Andreea S.B., Camelia S., Hermina N., Claudia R., Andreea A.C., Dina S., Baby Santiago, Eugene L., Olga C.  'How long O LORD' (Psalm 13).  'Children are a heritage [gift] of the LORD' (Psalm 127:3).  God bless the children."

Stories Being Tracked: Interview on American Freedom Radio  (21 September 2016)

"Eugene is unwavering in his attempt to see his son. He has made the simple request that he be allowed to see his son once a week and continues to be told he can only see his son four times a year. ... Despite warnings from the child's GP about the detrimental impact that removing this child from his father's care would have on the child, Eugene's son is still being held in foster care against his wishes and in violation of his human rights as a child to live with his father. The child has been told that he cannot go home again until he is 18 and that he can only see his father for 6 hours a year. This boy is not permitted to either phone his father or to communicate with him by letter and is under 24 hours supervision to prevent his reunion with his father..."

"Eugene Soiferties [Lukjanenko] tries to get his son back after [her was] taken from him by Medway [Children's Services]."

YOUTUBE:  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."

Is Gay [sic] Adoption Wrong? The Children Say Yes  (26 November 2017)

"Social services and judges in our society commend gay [sic] adoption as a matter of gay [sic] rights and not as a response to children's needs. Social services, so reluctant to remove Elsie from Scully-Hicks, did not hesitate in the case of a Christian heterosexual couple, Vincent and Pauline Matherick, who had fostered 28 children. Officials took from them an 11-year-old boy they were fostering because they refused to teach him about homosexuality. But in Elsie's case, social workers were terrified of questioning the dominant orthodoxy that same-sex couples make equally good or better parents. This myth is based on 'fake research'..."

Cultural Marxism That Cost Elsie Her Life  (09 November 2017)

"Of course, no lessons will be learned from the avoidable death of 18-month-old Elsie, because the lessons that need to be learned conflict with the politically correct beliefs which dominate the social work profession, the media and the political class..."

The Disturbing Questions Raised By Poor Little Elsie  (09 November 2017)

"Most couples are warned that it is unlikely that they will be able to adopt a baby of Elsie's age, as tends to be the preference. Adopting a baby is hard and yet Matthew Scully-Hicks managed it with ease. Could this be because he was fast-tracked and, if so, why? ... What the Serious Case review ought to look at is why, months after Elsie had begun to exhibit a series of injuries, the social worker who visited didn't see fit to do any sort of follow-up or checks..."

Birth Family: Baby Murdered ... 'Would Still Be Alive if She Wasn't Taken From Us'  (08 November 2017)

"In a piece looking at whether 'political correctness' played a role in the toddler's death, newspaper columnist Sarah Vine cited a whistleblower at Elsie's local child protection services, with 30 years' social work experience, who suggested that the 'Scully-Hickses may not have been vigorously vetted or challenged about Elsie's injuries because it seemed such an attractive idea to place the child with a gay [sic] couple'."

 

Tower Hamlets  (2017)

Adoption Should Be Colour-Blind Not Culture-Blind  (03 September 2017)

"It is racial discrimination to treat race as a primary factor in adoption. It is not religious discrimination to treat religion as a primary factor in adoption. One should never discriminate on the basis of race. One should discriminate on the basis of religion - at least in some areas. By discriminate, I don't mean being prejudiced against someone, I simply mean recognising a category distinction..."

The Multicultural Adoption Case  (01 September 2017)

"It is the foster carers who appear to be most at fault in this case for their lack of respect for the girl's Christian heritage such as it is. They appear to have clearly breached requirements to respect the religion of the child in their care. Questions should also be raised about how they were ever approved to be foster parents in the first place. Christians have been barred from fostering or adopting for their ethical views. One wonders how these Muslim carers were approved given the disrespect they appear to have shown for Christian practices."

Child in Muslim Foster Home Row May Be Taken Out of Britain  (£)  (31 August 2017)

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'. ... The banning of reporters from the court building yesterday led to concerns about the lack of transparency in the family courts, which have far-reaching powers..."

Judge Orders UK Authorities to Return Christian Girl Housed with Hardline Muslims to Her Family  (30 August 2017)

"A judge has ordered a Christian child placed in a conservative Muslim household to be rehomed with her family, as it is revealed the local authority involved attempted to block journalists from exposing the story. The five-year-old girl has been taken into the care of her grandmother, as her family had been requesting, and removed from the care arranged by the London borough of Tower Hamlets..."

PRAISE GOD!  Judge Rules Child Must Leave Muslim Foster Home  (£)  (30 August 2017)

"A girl at the centre of a care dispute was removed from her Muslim foster parents yesterday and reunited with her family as a judge urged councils to seek 'culturally matched placements' for vulnerable children.

Christian Parents Begged Council to House Child with Grandparents Instead of Hardline Muslims  (29 August 2017)

The child's "family has spent the past six months pleading with the council - which has previously been accused of corruption and favouring Muslim interests - to allow the girl to be cared for by family or friends. ... Anne Longfield, the children's commissioner for England, questioned the council's decision and said that her office would contact the director of children's services at Tower Hamlets. ... The council was also accused of fostering tribal divisions and identity politics, frequently rewarding Muslim organisations with resources in return for their support."

Parents Begged Tower Hamlets Council to Let Child in Muslim Care Stay with Grandmother  (£)  (29 August 2017)

"A council that forced a Christian child to live with conservative Muslim foster carers has blocked a number of attempts to move her to families where she would feel more at home. ... The east London council has most recently opposed attempts to place the child into the temporary care of her grandmother. ... Tower Hamlets has refused to respond to requests from The Times to explain why it has twice chosen to place the girl in an environment that is wholly alien to her heritage and upbringing."

The Infidel Foster Carers of Tower Hamlets  (28 August 2017)

"The BBC and the Guardian are carrying out many hours of investigative journalism into the horrendous story of a five year-old Muslim girl forcibly removed from her family by a BNP controlled council, and subsequently placed in the care of a fundamentalist Christian family who spoke no Urdu and who encouraged the girl to hate all aspects of her own culture and religion. If the above paragraph were true, I think we could guarantee the left-lib MSM would be having a field day over it, but alas it is not true. The real story here is of a five year-old English, Christian girl removed from her mother by Tower Hamlets council and placed with a Muslim family ... This travesty of social, moral and cultural justice was broken by the Times and thus far has been resolutely ignored by those caring and compassionate liberals within the BBC and Guardian..."

Five-Year-Old Christian Girl Placed into Foster Care of Strict Muslim Families  (28 August 2017)

"Even for Tower Hamlets, now routinely referred to as 'the scandal-ridden borough of Tower Hamlets, this latest failure of care is beyond the pale. ... If [Tower Hamlets] Children's Services are incapable of looking after a five-year-old child who is completely dependent on those legally charged with protecting her then control of Children's service should be taken away from Tower Hamlets Council and handed over to Commissioners from the Dept for Communities and Local Government. ... A Muslim child has the right to be fostered with a family that respects the child's faith and upbringing. A Christian child has the right to be fostered with a family that respects that child's faith and upbringing. This is basic stuff. No qualifications required to work this out. ... How many more of our children have woken up this morning in an alien or unsafe environment..."

Christian Five-Year-Old Girl Forced into Muslim Foster Care Has Cross Removed, Told to Learn Arabic  (28 August 2017)

In local authority reports ... a social services worker describes the sobbing child begging not to be returned to the foster home. ...

Ofsted Condemns Tower Hamlets Children's Services as 'Inadequate'  (07 April 2017)

The report is only 34 pages long and we would urge residents to read it for themselves. ...

Forced Transgender Boy Quickly Returns to Normal After Removal From Mother's Care  (22 October 2016)

"A seven-year-old boy has been removed from his mother's care by the high court, after he was found to be suffering from 'significant emotional harm' due to his mother raising him as a girl. The judge in the case slammed social services who had simply accepted that the boy should be treated as a girl. ... Justice Hayden said 'flares of concern' for the boy's wellbeing had been raised by a 'whole raft of multi-disciplinary agencies', and that he couldn't understand why social services had 'disregarded so summarily' those concerns..."

Last Thursday, however, in a miraculous victory for common sense, Judge Bromilow finally cut through the ever more tangled legal nightmare surrounding the case, by ordering that the girl be returned to the care of her mother, for much the reasons that those close to the family have been vainly trying to argue all along..."

Last autumn, when the girl was admitted to one of our leading children's hospitals, the mother tried to advise the medical staff on how to communicate with her daughter ...

They then began living happily with a new partner by whom she had two more sons. Because of her past involvement in violence, however, Denbighshire social workers intervened to say that, unless she handed over her oldest son to his father, they would also remove her other two boys.

A Disturbing Case of Child Removal That You Can't Read About  (28 June 2014)

"Circulating the internet has been a harrowing, two-hour recording of a Scottish family waiting for social workers and police to arrive to take two small children into care. Mostly we hear the father trying to talk calmly and reassuringly to his sons, who are chatting cheerily about how they want 'to go to the beach', although they all know that is going to happen. Finally, the social workers enter, saying they have an 'emergency protection order' to remove the children, because of their 'concern' that the family might leave the country. The children are heard crying as they are carried away. ... [this story] had for years been widely reported in Scotland as one of the most bizarre examples of over-reacting social workers imaginable. Even now there is no allegation that the parents had harmed their children in any way. The local community is said to be outraged at what has happened..."

Judge Accuses NE Lincolnshire Council Social Workers of 'Ruling Out' Grandparents of 3-Year-Old Boy They Wanted to Place For Adoption  (28 November 2014)

"Judge Simon Jack said [the social workers] had been 'visibly biased' and, as a result, the council's case 'severely undermined'. ... Speaking to the Today programme, one of the sets of grandparents said they challenged the authority ... they asked Mr Swaby: 'Who do you think you are - God?'  They said he replied: 'In this situation, yes. Get used to it, your grandson will go for adoption.'..."

North East Lincolnshire Council (Applicant)  -v-  G and L (Respondents)  (05 June 2014)

JUDGE JACK: "The Local Authority were seeking originally a final care order with a view to placement for adoption in relation to J. ... The local authority effectively ruled out both sets of grandparents. ...

When eventually she met her present Hindu partner and had a second child, Hertfordshire social workers won a supervision order to ensure that her new son was being properly cared for. But the Indian father, ... could not hide his [perfectly understandable] increasing impatience at the constant intrusion of social workers into his family's life, to the point where they applied to take the boy into care. A judge accepted that the child was 'thriving' but ruled that, because of the father's 'hostility' to the social workers, the boy should go into foster care..."

In many cases, it seems that children are torn from their parents for no good reason, to such an extent that this has become one of the  most disturbing scandals in our country today. One of the many startling features of this system is the remarkably casual grounds often given by social workers for seizing children in the first place, and the peculiar methods then used to justify their actions.

Incredibly, the re-evaluation of the policing of the family as an enlightened thing has included attempts to rehabilitate the long-discredited Cleveland child-abuse scandal of 1987, when 121 children were removed by social workers in Middlesbrough on the grounds that their parents had abused them.

Social Care: A Poem

by Anne Murray [First published here]

"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"

than that he should offend one of these little ones"
(Luke 17:1-2)

"Let none of you suffer ... as a busybody in other men's matters"
(1 Peter 4:15)

 

"Never, anywhere in the Holy Bible will you find God giving civil government
any authority to rear or direct the rearing of children ...
God told parents, not the government, to 'train up' their children."
(Laura Rogers, Societal Structures vs. Restructuring, as quoted in Berit Kjos, Brave New Schools, p185)
