HELLO !!! LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

  

 

My name is IAN JOSEPHS . Social services have never hurt me,my family,or my friends,but their wicked abuse of power has simply shocked me into action ! I try to help parents who are desperately trying to recover or at least make contact either with their children or worse still with "newborn babies"  snatched by social services from mothers that have never caused them harm.Those social workers who snatch, and those lawyers,judges,and"experts" who combine to help them should ALL be sent to prison for a long time ! I will explain and justify this later on.Meanwhile,reading through websites can be tedious,so before I tell you more about myself and the "SS", and just in case you get bored reading this I'll begin with essential advice for those who are already suffering............

 

NEVER,NEVER,cringe and obey social workers who are hostile or disrespectful, no matter how many threats they make to "take your children" or "cut off your contact".Threats that in effect amount to moral blackmail should always be ignored with contempt. Always apologise very politely but never never obey !!........Their threats are bluff as even if you do everything they say, they will long before then have made up their minds to take your children and/or cut your contact anyway. So if you do obey them, they will after thanking you for making their task so easy, graciously let you "wave goodbye" to your precious children! BEWARE and REFUSE if they decide to make an unannounced "home visit" or worse still ask you to take your children to the hospital for a "checkup" on a Friday afternoon ! In the latter case they will keep you waiting until 5 or 6pm and then snatch your children when it is too late for you to get legal help or advice before Monday !They have no legal power only the courts have that, so if they dare to threaten you instead of helping you,NEVER give in to their outrageous blackmail,and NEVER, obey ANY of the loathsome creatures who dare to behave as described above ! 

 

Some critics of the "SS" in an attempt to seem reasonable and moderate claim that "there are many excellent social workers but also there are a minority who do not behave as they should".This to put it politely is a" mealy mouthed understatement of staggering timidity" ! Any worthwhile and sincerely motivated social workers who join the "child protection service" do not stay long once they see what goes on .Once they realise what they have to do they RESIGN !!That is why the "SS"are contantly advertising for new recruits.Nearly all of those who still remain "in the service" taking babies from sane mothers who have never caused those babies to suffer any harm are quite simply "SCUM "! 

 

If the worst happens and your children are snatched by force try and ruin the SS adoption plans ! Make sure your children cling on to you until the SS rip them away by force !  Shout and cry that wicked people are stealing them .Cuddle those poor children telling them that "mummy loves them" and will try to get them back ! Any children aged 4 or more will remember this  for the rest of their lives and will not believe the SS who will later tell them that "their mummy does not want them "and soon they will have a new "forever Mummy and Daddy! "It is worth upsetting your beloved children briefly to make sure that always in the future they will remember you loved them and wanted to keep them from the "child stealers !"

 

 NEVER,NEVER lose contact with your young children,just read the paragraphs below !! Send them your phone number buried in the middle of a cd rom (disc),written on a doll,written in invisible ink on a seemingly innocent postcard,or simply whispered in their ears at a suitable moment.

 

Alternatively if your name is Jane for example,register an easy email address (eg) mumjane@aol.com  Any child old enough to send an email will then be able to contact you no matter where you are or where they are! 

 

If on the other hand your baby or toddler is being snatched insist on breastfeeding a baby as this gives you extra contact.

Abstract.

 

 

"Per curiam. If the state, in the guise of a local authority, seeks to remove a baby from his parents at a time when its case against the parents has not yet even been established, then the very least the state can do is to make generous arrangements for contact, those arrangements being driven by the needs of the family and not stunted by lack of resources. Typically, if this is what the parents want, one will be looking to contact most days of the week and for lengthy periods. Local authorities also had to be sensitive to the wishes of a mother who wants to breast-feed, and should make suitable arrangements to enable her to do so, and not merely to bottle-feed expressed breast milk. Nothing less would meet the imperative demands of the European Convention on Human Rights."...

This case establishes the right of the mother to breastfeed,and is often ignored both by SS and judges!

 

 

Fight for parents,grandparents,aunts,uncles,and cousins all to have contact  under the Human Rights Act. (see section "get your children back")

 

 

Children of all ages even those as young as 6 or 7 years old for example ,can go to any public phone box and call parents reverse charges if they are quietly told how to do this,explained as follows:-

 

Dial 100 from any private phone or public call box and you will be offered 4 options(choices) Choose option4 which asks if you want to speak to an operator.You then ask the operator for a call reversing the charges. The operator will then ask you for your name and the number you are calling.(this must be to a fixed line not a mobile)Your mother or father will then say ok they accept the call and no money is needed from you, the child who is calling! If your children are still with you or at least in contact get them to practice telephoning you reverse charge so that if the worst does happen and they are removed then contact is NEVER lost !! Remember also that if no court order forbids you expressly and specifically from contacting the children there is nothing to stop you seeing them when they come out of school (even nursery school!). 

 

Remember that all children "in care" have "personal education plans"that the SS are supposed to share with you.Ask the local education authorities(NOT the SS !) for a copy of these plans and ask also to be put on their mailing list so you can continue to follow  your children's progress even after they have been snatched ! If you are not sure how to do this,call Pauline,a mother who knows how to "play the system" on 01514756007

 

PERSONAL EDUCATION PLAN FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN PUBLIC CARE - Guidance for Completion

 

 

 

Responsibilities

 

 

Social Workers will have the responsibility for initiating the planning process and integrating it with the Care Plan

 

Designated teachers must ensure that each child in Public Care has a PEP and will have responsibility for completing and monitoring it

 

 

 

Completing the PEP (SCS81) – before the meeting

 

 

 

Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be completed by the Social Worker.

 

 

 

The Plan should then be sent to the designated teacher and a time and venue agreed for an initial meeting

 

 

 

Whom to invite – the Social Worker should normally invite the foster carer or residential keyworker and parents, unless there are significant reasons why one or other parent should not attend, following the same guidance and rationale for LAC reviews.  In exceptional circumstances other interested adults could be invited, but care should be taken to keep the number of adults to a minimum.

 

 

 

The designated teacher will then select the most appropriate member of staff to complete the Plan and attend the meeting.

 

 

 

Prior to the meeting, consideration should be given to the young person’s strengths, achievements and ambitions.  The young person’s views are central to this section and they should be given support to express them.

 

 

 

Prior to the meeting, consideration should also be given to the young person’s priority educational needs/actions, which should be specific and time-related.  The PEP should make connections with, but not duplicate, other plans.  Where specific targets have been identified in pre-existing plans, these can be incorporated into the PEP.

 

 

 

 

 

Completing the PEP – detailed notes

 

 

Section 5          This can be completed before the meeting, by the designated teacher

 

If you know the school, you know how to contact your children when they come out ! If "ss" have already cut your contact, you can STILL meet your children when they come out from school unless a court order or injunction expressly forbids you to doso ;in which case send a relative or friend !

 

 

 

Above all do not lose heart if the "SS"decide to snatch your babies or your children.Because it is so important,let me repeat what I said earlier! Social Workers are NOT police! They have no authority to give you orders and most of their threats are PURE BLUFF !! Disregard their threats to "take your children",or if they already have them ,to "stop contact" if you do not obey their orders.If they have reached the stage of threatening you THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS.If you obey them it will just make their task easier. They will break their word and take your children ,or stop your contact  later even if you have "cooperated" by doing everything they ask! They will then just regard you with contempt as a "pushover" and you will lose your children for good !You have no need to obey these petty tyrants unless they have a court order!Nevertheless, I beg you ,please do not let arrogant social workers provoke you into anger or violence so they can later claim you were "unstable". Do however continually remind them that their duty is to help keep families together not split them up. Politely insist that they always treat you with respect and dignity and that they do NOT make angry threats !.Do not get angry with them,show instead that YOU control the situation by making sure they "lose their cool" and get angry with you !Quietly oppose them them in your home,fight them hard in the courts and never never give up ! Believe me, in the end you CAN WIN !!

 

 

JUST LOOK AT THE RISK A YOUNG GIRL RUNS WHEN TAKEN INTO "CARE" !

Sunday Mail August 27 2006 - Care home girl abused by 25 men in 2 years - A 14-year-old girl placed in a council children's home was prostituted to a group of depraved middle-aged men because staff were powerless to stop her going out. The horrific story of 'Becky' is highlighted in a BBC programme presented by Fiona Bruce this week which reveals how she was sexually abused by 25 men over two years - despite being known to social services and having been placed on the Child Protection Register. 

 

  Source: Daily Mail Published: 27th August 2006  

 

 "Even when she was put in a children's home - six months after her earliest allegations of abuse -staff allowed her to be used as a prostitute for fear their intervention might infringe her human rights."

 

Social Services do NOT have the power they pretend to have over you and your children ! They rely almost entirely on threats and on BLUFF !! If they admit they have no power to stop a 14 year old in their care from working as a prostitute for 2 years,they certainly cannot stop children in care from phoning their parents, meeting them,or visiting them for a meal as long as they return to the fosterers or care home afterwards!

Do not be bluffed by social workers or even your own useless solicitors! If they tell you are not allowed by law to show your documents to anybody else tell them they are years out of date!Section 62 ,para 251, of the children Act 2004 allows you to show your documents and discuss your case in detail including names with as many individuals as you like! You are however still forbidden to reveal to the press,the public or sections of the public any information that might help identify the children concerned.Tell family ,friends,advisers, and any other individuals anything you like no matter what bossy social workers and expensive lawyers might tell you !! 

 

 

 

Section 62: Publication of material relating to legal proceedings

 

The Children Act 2004 para 251.     Section 62(1) amends section 97 of the Children Act 1989 to make clear that the publication of material from family proceedings which is intended, or likely, to identify any child as being involved in such proceedings (or the address or school of such a child) is only prohibited in relation to publication of information to the public or any section of the public. This section will make the effect of section 97 less prohibitive by allowing disclosure of such information in certain circumstances. In effect, this means that passing on information identifying, or likely to identify, a child (his school or his address) as being involved in court proceedings to an individual or a number of individuals would not generally be a criminal offence .

 

 

 

Legal aid lawyers are for good reason known in the trade as "professional losers". Most of them collect a hefty fee for advising you not to resist social services,but to go along with all they say! Often they tell you there is no need for you to go to court at all, and if you do go they refuse to let you speak whilst they agree to surrender to the care orders and/or adoption placements demanded by the "SS"! So my advice is, REPRESENT YOURSELF !! At least then you will be able to put your own point of view to the court and will be able to ask awkward questions of social workers and their so called "experts".

Several single mothers I have advised had lawyers who lost every case for them but when later they represented themselves they WON !! Some of them are quite willing to help you and explain by phone how they did it!

The section listed in one of the small boxes at the top of this page, "Get your children back" tells you in easy steps exactly how to write a convincing statement for the court using a very simple template plus the bullet points that are applicable in your case.Please use these aids and also all the other information on this site to give yourself the confidence,the morale,and the fighting spirit to make sure you have the best possible chance of success in the family courts.!As to how to tackle social workers and the like.....Please read on and you will come to "The 8 Golden rules"

 

These will show you the best way to deal not only with social workers, but also with health  visitors  ,"experts",therapists, psychologists ,psychiatrists , "professionals," "Mystic Meg" and in effect the complete unholy rabble of bossy social service bureaucrats and moneyhungry charlatans !

 

Who are these people really?

 

 The whole collection of judges,lawyers ,social workers, and so called "experts" giving evidence in secret family courts closely resembles one of those fanatical American religious sects ! Any hapless parent that contradicts them and declares their innocence of any wrongdoing is "in denial" !Any suspicion a parent raises that these people are dishonest or untruthful is taken as a sign of paranoia!Any anger or hatred exhibited by parents towards those who have taken their children is "diagnosed" as a "personality disorder" and "anger management courses" are advised!Nobody can sensibly question religious extremists and fanatics and that is how it is in the secret family courts.The words of social workers and "experts" are always believed in preference to those of the parents. Thousands of children and worse still new born babies are routinely removed to meet government "adoption targets" on feeble pretexts such as "risk of emotional abuse" In the UK this is the greatest and most shocking scandal of out times !

 

www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/prebirth-protocol-july-2005.pdf

 

Parents are routinely sent to prison if they reveal details of how their children were confiscated and given for adoption by strangers by "establishment judges" in centres of torture and despair known as "the family courts".

 

The reason for this is always touted as the need to protect the children's identity at all costs!Unless of course there is money to be made by "advertising" them for adoption like pedigree dogs in magazines and newspapers with colour photos ages and first names for easy identification by the neighbours!!Here are some prices for those who are interested !

 

http://www.adoptionuk.com/images/Featuring%20%20April2007.pdf

 

 

 

The following extract from a judgement in the House of Lords confirms that alone in Europe the UK CONTINUES to allow and encourage the barbaric practice of taking children from loving and desperate parents and giving them to strangers for closed and secret adoptions without parental consent

 

House of Lords - Down Lisburn Health and Social Services Trust .

 

Baroness Hale of Richmond.Judgement 

 

  34.  There is, so far as the parties to this case are aware, no European jurisprudence questioning the principle of freeing for adoption, or indeed compulsory adoption generally. The United Kingdom is unusual amongst members of the Council of Europe in permitting the total severance of family ties without parental consent. (Professor Triseliotis thought that only Portugal and perhaps one other European country allowed this.) It is, of course, the most draconian interference with family life possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE GOLDEN RULES!!

 

 Do PLEASE remember the golden rules :- (By all means print this off and keep the copy near at hand if SS approach!Show these rules to your lawyer or social worker to prove that you KNOW your rights!)

 

REMEMBER THESE EVEN IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE I HAVE ADVISED! 

 

1:- Never contact social services for help or advice .Usually you should not report a partner who batters you or even a stranger who sexually assaults your young child, as if you do the SS will as often as not take your children into care(and later for adoption) to "protect them" from risk !If they have your children and you are fighting to get them back,NEVER NEVER tell social workers how you think you are going to defeat them, or what you are going to do next !Remember ,without mentioning it to "them",that even if your children are "in care" social workers do not have the legal power to stop your children going to a call box to phone you or even meeting you for a meal as long as they return "home" to the fosterers afterwards! 

 

2:- Never believe a word they say and always insist they put their promises down in writing.Always be pleasant and polite to social workers,and remember that they may deliberately try to provoke you into shouting or violence that they will exaggerate in court leaving you with a criminal record and no children!When they shout at you forget your "pride" and look very hurt saying "why are you being like this to me?" or"I thought you were so nice until now, please don't bully me!" Be very respectful "tongue in cheek", but never follow their "helpful advice" especially if they say your only chance of getting your children back is to split from a partner, or parent you love and respect! They will try and turn you against each other as the "divide and rule" principle makes sure you are confused and demoralised when you lose your case  and your children too ! Quite often they arrange deliberately awkward contact times with your children. This can result first in the loss of your job and then as a consequence of that ,your accommodation also.Object loudly and forcefully in court to their plans and fight hard to keep your job and your house or appartment. 

 

3:- NEVER,NEVER,NEVER, sign any documents they present to you,even if they say "you have to!" Social Workers rely on BLUFF.In reality they have NO POWER and no right to threaten you or give you orders of any kind!Only a COURT via an order from a judge can give you orders,and you always have the opportunity to contest those orders in court either before or after they are given to you.No matter what threats,or promises they make ,you can be 100% sure that if you get intimidated into signing they will break their word and expect you to keep your's! so, DO NOT SIGN !! 

 

 4:-Never, never agree to let your children go into foster care (especially if they say it is temporary) Never "agree" the thresholds even if you are advised that this will ensure the return of your children,because if you do you will have admitted neglecting or abusing your child and the only question left will be to decide if you have really repented and are capable of "change"! Usually the answer is no !Sometimes your own lawyer may tell you to agree the thresholds and/or agree to an interim care order otherwise "you will never see your children again !"That is a wicked lie designed to save the lawyers work and to help you LOSE your children ! BEWARE ! 

 

5:-Never answer questions at case meetings , in court, or when you are being assessed by so called "experts,"(psychiatrists,therapists,psychologists,  counsellors,professionals, and the like) with more than 5 or 6 words (they write down anything unhelpful you may let slip). Try indeed to answer "yes" or "no" whenever possible . Never explain or elaborate as this only gives extra material to those who wish to discredit you.

 

6:-Protect yourself against social workers barging uninvited into your home by fitting a small chain inside your front door.This means that if you do not unlatch the chain when you see who is calling that person would have to push the door hard enough to break the chain which would be a "forced entry "and a criminal offence if committed without a document from  the court such as a "recovery order" specifically allowing entry using reasonable force .Unless they have good reason to believe someone in the house is in danger of severe physical harm police also would have to have a warrant before breaking the chain . Usually they will not have one and would have to convince a judge that a serious crime had been or was about to be  committed before one was granted.

 

7:-If social services request a look at your medical records (probably to try and find something to discredit you) ALWAYS write to any doctor or psychiatrist that has seen you as follows:-

 

"I respectfully request you to keep all my medical notes strictly confidential as I intend to take legal proceedings  against social services and any other persons who might obtain my medical details without my express authorisation".

 

8:-Never write a letter to anyone connected to Social Services as you might include something that could damage your case in the family court.Only accept a solicitor if he/she promises to allow you a free hand to speak in court! You should be asked this simple question in the winess box "Have you anything you would like to say to the court?"Without this promise you may be "gagged" and you can lose your case without being allowed to say a word! 

 

And YES! They really,really do make up false evidence as "The Times" points out.............

 

 The Times October 19, 2006 - Blind justice without a name -Camilla Cavendish - If social workers really are manufacturing evidence in child abuse cases, their anonymity is assured Read article...

 

And YES some people are making a fortune out of the misery of others !

 

The Guardian - March 28, 2007 - by Lucy Ward - Concern over vulnerable children placed in isolating care homes - Councils are paying up to £6,000 a week to place children with extreme and complex needs in "one-person children's homes" without any proof that this will help them. Read Article...

THE SITUATION NOW

 

YOUR NEWBORN BABY IS IN DANGER  !!

 

In October 2005 more than 200 MPs from all parties signed a motion(EDM869) proposed by Eric Pickles MP calling for an end to the secrecy of the family courts.

 

http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=29194&SESSION=875

 

Look at this statement made in parliament by the secretary of state for health !!

 

Jacqui Smith [holding answer 9 April 2003]: .......... 

 

The Government's priority is to increase the number of children adopted from care while not compromising the quality and stability of adoptive placements. The most effective measure of performance is to deliver adoptive placements that last and that are properly supported...................

 

Adopters want BABIES or Toddlers not older children !

 

LOTS OF MONEY TO BE MADE BY ADOPTION AGENCIES TOO !!Local authorities that do not snatch enough children to meet their "adoption targets" get into trouble !

'Shaming' policy on adoption attacked

 

By Nicole Martin

 

 

 

 

 

THE Government's decision to highlight eight local councils with poor adoption records was criticised yesterday.

John Hutton, the health minister, named the councils in Barnet, Lambeth, Slough, Newham, Peterborough, Coventry, Northamptonshire and Torbay as targets for a new adoption task force. But adoption agencies and social services said the "naming and shaming" approach could be detrimental to the 5,000 children waiting to be adopted in Britain.

Felicity Collier, chief executive of the British Agencies for Adoption and Fostering, said that the policy could worsen the recruitment shortage in social services, where a fifth of posts remain vacant. She said: "What really concerns me is that if I was an adopter and I lived in one of the areas that the Department of Health announces is lagging behind the pack, adoption might look unappealing."

Moira Gibb, president elect of the Association of Directors of Social Services, welcomed the task force but doubted the effectiveness of identifying authorities.

Mr Hutton denied that the Government was "naming and shaming". He said: "There is a steady rise in adoptions. But we have to keep the momentum going. The task force will help by identifying barriers to change and supporting those councils that need help."

 

 

 

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/18/nchild318.xml

 

 

 

The following was a parliamentary question to ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what targets have been set for local authorities by central Government regarding adoption; and when each target was introduced.

 

 Parmjit Dhanda (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Education and Skills) | Hansard source

 

The Government have set a number of targets on adoption, in particular to increase the numbers of looked after children who are adopted from care.

 

The following target was included in the Department of Health publication "Improvement, Expansion and Reform: The Next Three Years (Priorities and Planning Framework 2003-2006)":

 

"Maintain current levels of adoption placement stability (as measured by the proportion of placements for adoption ending with the making of an adoption order) so that quality is not compromised whilst increasing the use of adoption as follows:

 

By 2004-05 increase by 40 per cent. the number of looked after children who are adopted, and aim to exceed this by achieving, if possible, a 50 per cent. increase by 2006, up from 2,700 in 1999-2000. All councils will bring their practice up to the current level of the best performers.

 

By 2004-05 increase to 95 per cent. the proportion of looked after children placed for adoption within 12 months of the decision that adoption is in the child's best interests, up from 81 per cent. in 2000-01, and maintain this level (95 per cent.) up to 2006, by locally applying the timescales in the National Adoption Standards, taking account of the individual child's needs."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Already more than 20 MPs  from all parties have signed the more recent motion proposed by John Hemming MP:(EDM 626)

 

 

LOCAL AUTHORITY ADOPTION TARGETS

15.01.2007

EDM 626

http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=32301&SESSION=885

 

 

 

Hemming, John MP

That this House notes that local authorities and their staff are incentivised to ensure that children are adopted; is concerned about increasing numbers of babies being taken into care, not for the safety of the infant, but because they are easy to get adopted; and calls urgently for effective scrutiny of care proceedings to stop this from happening.

 

Just look at this announcement by the borough of Bromley !!

 

 Public Service Agreement - Adoption

The London Borough of Bromley and the Government  made a Local Public Service Agreement (LPSA) for the three years, April 2002 to March 2005, to further improve services to local people. Adoption was one of thirteen service areas to be awarded extra funding - £93,000 over the three years - to meet or exceed the Government's target of improving the numbers of children adopted from public care by 50%. Where a service area is successful in meeting the agreed target the Council will receive £0.5 million in additional funding.

 

What did this mean for us in Bromley?

 

In 2004/05 18 children needed to be adopted from care to meet the agreed target.

 

To achieve these targets we had to recruit more adopters to meet the needs of the increased numbers of children requiring adoptive families. This was  to be achieved through additional recruitment by the Bromley Adoption Team and through membership of the Adoption South East Consortium (consisting of five other local authorities).

 

  THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION:-  After 17 children have been successfully adopted in Bromley,and if your child is 18th in line to be considered,your precious child will also be very very precious to Bromley as it will be worth £500,000 to the borough to make sure he/she is adopted !!

 

 

 

YOU ARE NOT ALONE   !!

 

Key adoption targets missed (Official government papers)

 

 

 

 

 

The government has missed its key targets on adoption, despite making them a priority area for action for councils more than three years ago.

 

The government’s overarching target, included in the Priorities and Planning Framework 2003-6, was to increase adoptions by 50% by 2006 from 1999 levels.

 

However, the latest figures show that just 3,700 children were adopted in the year ending 31 March 2006 – a 34 per cent increase since 1999 and a 3 per cent fall on last year’s figures.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

More than 60,000 children are "in care" of the State.Thousands of these have been taken from loving parents not for anything that has happened to them, but because "experts" said one day something might happen.As a result,every year, thousands of children and newborn babies have been ordered by secret family courts(no public admitted) to be  removed  to avoid future risk of physical, or more often "emotional abuse". (a vague accusation impossible to disprove).Unlike any other court parents have to prove their innocence against accusations and worse still predictions by "professionals" and "experts"If they fail to do this(and usually they do fail to disprove these forecasts) they lose their children.

 

More than 700 babies and young  children are taken every year from the few parents who manage to pluck up the courage to go to court and fight ! Once there they despairingly beg stern unbending family court judges to let them keep their own children. The judges in the secret family courts however inevitably respond  by threatening parents with prison if they reveal to anybody details of proceedings in the secret family courts.The identity of the children must be protected at all costs they say with an intimidating judicial frown ! They follow up this stricture by authorising social services to advertise the unfortunate babies and toddlers as "adoption candidates" in magazines like "adoption UK" and on the internet on sites such as "www.ukkids.info "like pedigree dogs,with large colour photographs ,first names, dates of birth and character descriptions for easy identification by "the neighbours". These children are finally given away via "forced adoption" to anonymous strangers for the rest of their lives.

 

MOST OF THESE FAMILY COURT JUDGES SHOULD BE SENT TO PRISON themselves to pay for their crimes ,but in fact a parliamentary question recently revealed that these renegade family judges reglarly send more than 200 people a year to prison in strict secrecy with no public hearing at all !.The judges are the real criminals not the hapless and helpless parents !All this is happening in the UK right now !! Read on for details and proof.

Every story,every legal quotation, and every statistic on this site has been carefully checked and verified from official government published figures,acts of parliament,published judgements from actual cases,and articles in reputable newspapers such as the Times or TV programmes such as "The real story"

 

In 1926 the first "Adoption Act"was passed legalising the concept of adoption in the UK,the parent's consent could be dispensed with if those parents could not be found ,had abandoned the child,or who were plainly mentally incapable.This dispensation happened very rarely.The vast majority of adoptions concerned mothers who were not married and who were persuaded by parents to give up their babies to avoid the "terrible disgrace" that this was at the time.

 

In 1976 the second "Adoption Act" was passed allowing secret family courts to order the adoption of children and even newborn babies against the express wishes of their parents.A barbaric measure unique in Europe that was to cause more misery to both parents and children in the UK than any other laws passed in the last 2 or 3 hundred years !Since then "Acts" have been passed in 1989 and 2002 that have facilitated and speeded up this appalling forced adoption process.In the year 2000 Tony Blair called for a 40% increase in adoption figures (supposedly to stop children languishing in care) and targets were set for local authorities throughout the UK. As a result of all this , record numbers of loving parents have seen their children and especially newborn babies(the best adoption material) literally stolen to fuel the adoption industry.

In France,Spain and other continental countries social services only remove children from their families if there is clear evidence of physical or sexual abuse suffered by children at the hands of other family members.

 

 Remember what the House of Lords had to say ? 

 

 

The following extract from a judgement in the House of Lords confirms that alone in Europe the UK CONTINUES to allow and encourage the barbaric practice of taking children from loving and desperate parents and giving them to strangers for closed and secret adoptions without parental consent

 

House of Lords - Down Lisburn Health and Social Services Trust .

 

Baroness Hale of Richmond.Judgement 

 

  34.  There is, so far as the parties to this case are aware, no European jurisprudence questioning the principle of freeing for adoption, or indeed compulsory adoption generally. The United Kingdom is unusual amongst members of the Council of Europe in permitting the total severance of family ties without parental consent. (Professor Triseliotis thought that only Portugal and perhaps one other European country allowed this.) It is, of course, the most draconian interference with family life possible.

 

 

"Emotional abuse" as a concept is simply unknown and so is using the threat of "risk" as an excuse to take children from their families and give them to strangers.Compulsory adoption of children taken from parents who are begging in court to keep them is practically unknown in Continental Europe where this cruel and abusive UK practice is regarded as little short of horrific! 

 

In the UK (and also North America) the SS ask compliant judges in SECRET family courts to authorise the (often permanent) removal of children whom they consider to be merely "at risk" of either "physical abuse "or that ever so vague concept " emotional abuse"Most of our family court judges should themselves BE SENT TO PRISON for these "crimes aganst humanity !. OUR Social Workers,like gypsies claim to forsee the future,and based on their forecasts, often backed up by highly paid "experts" boasting the same gift of foresight, children and even newborn babies are brutally removed and given for adoption to strangers thus avoiding this "risk".Parents who are naturally angry and upset when their children have been taken are often declared to be emotionally unstable. Such parents  of course cannot defend themselves against these expert "forecasts".Criminals are punished for crimes they have committed,whilst UK parents (and their children) are punished (often for life) for faults that social services believe that they might commit in the future!!NO WONDER IN EUROPE THEY THINK OUR SOCIAL SERVICES ARE COMPLETELY CRAZY !! 

 

In the UK even perfect mothers are at risk of having their babies snatched at birth.Social Services only have to find some  allegedly violent incident in the past of the baby's father and the mother loses her baby to the adoption industry even when in many cases she knew nothing of these allegations when she fell pregnant. More often than not, the father was never charged by the police, let alone convicted of any offence.Hard to believe? Well this happens far more often than you would think! It means in effect that EVERY MOTHER IN THE UK is at risk of having their newborn baby "confiscated" by the "SS" if the father has some episode in his past that maybe the mother knew nothing about when the baby was conceived !

 

A couple I helped recently had their baby removed the same day it was born! The distraught mother was told that she was blameless ,but that her partner,the baby's father some years previously had been accused by his ex wife of violence towards her in a custody dispute ! No charges were ever brought by anyone but this unproved accusation was enough for the horrified mother to see her baby taken by social services with a view to adoption.After several court cases a second baby was born and threatened with the same fate so the useless lawyers were sacked and the couple represented themselves with such success that both babies were eventually returned to their care under a supervision order( which is still being contested!)

Fight every step of the way and you can win! Submit and you are doomed!

 JOANNA will tell you how she and her partner got their babies back and will advise you by telephone :-07724056999 or by email joanna_06@blueyonder.co.uk

 

No wonder that social workers in "child protection" are now perceived NOT as protectors but as childsnatchers who break up the very families they are mandated to cosset and preserve.They are now trained to show no pity and no remorse when they take babies at birth from mothers that have never harmed them .Social Services are unfortunately thoroughly obssessed by an urgent need to meet government adoption targets and reap financial rewards.This need supercedes all traces of  pity or compassion.Adoption is "big business" and very profitable for those who do not hesitate to deal in a murky industry where children are just a "commodity"!

 

"Legal aid lawyers"who often work closely with social services are waiting,only too ready to "represent" bereft parents and urge them to "cooperate" with the SS and all will be well. Alas it almost never is..... 

 

Talking of "legal aid lawyers", the vast majority of these highly paid and highly useless parasites are widely known as "professional losers ". They simply advise you NOT to fight the social services and to "go along" with everything the social workers tell you!For this easy and entirely useless legal advice they charge enormous fees and go home laughing, ready to fleece their next victim !

 

Ring Pauline on 01514756007 for her opinion of her solicitor who,faced with her determination to fight for her children, actually promised in turn to fight too . He verbally guarranteed that he would stop care orders from being put on her children at the appointed half day hearing."They haven't got nearly enough"he said!What happened next?

 

Of course he never even turned up in court (he sent his clerk!) .He had promised that the SS witnesses would be rigorously cross examined in court and that witness summonses would force them to attend.In fact they did not come. The Guardian sent a written statement and the SS barrister himself "reported" the support worker's opinions to the judge.No cross examination was possible but the judge believed their slanderous hearsay rather than the mother who had testified in person on oath and who also had produced an excellent "psychological" report on herself from the court appointed "expert"which described her parenting skills as first class. Pauline alas did not like or respect her social worker and for this alone,believe it or not, she lost the last 2 of her 6 children!She has no criminal record,no problems with alcohol or drugs,no learning difficulties,has a university degree and an intense repugnance for  social workers(personality disorder?)who in turn cannot understand why anyone should dislike them! They were as usual vindictive towards her because(as the judge put it) of her "inability to work with professionals" .Her newborn baby has been taken for adoption and her 6 children split up from her and from each other.

 

She has wisely decided to represent herself on Appeal!She also wishes to form a support group for parents who have had their children "snatched"by social services so ring 01514756007 for mutual support.

 

 Samantha had 4 children removed after she ejected a rude and nosey social worker from her home(they said she must have a personality disorder!)She and her mother Philomena lost 3 cases in a row and 3 children to adoption when "represented" so when the SS threatened to take her new baby as soon as it was born she contacted me,and I advised her to represent herself.She did this successfully retaining her new baby and recovering her eldest child even after the SS appealed against her first win but Samantha still beat them again !She or her mother Philomena will advise you and tell you how they did it on 07947468340.

 

 Battered women (and sometimes men too!) are now too frightened to notify the police.Not because they fear a partner's reprisals ,but because the police inevitably inform social services who arrive not to help but to confiscate their children !Also parents with mild learning difficulties, parents who let their houses get dirty( or even merely untidy on just one occasion),parents who take their child to the doctor or to hospital "too often", parents whose children are too often "late for school",parents whose children suffer minor injuries from an accident where police are either not involved or who bring no charges whatever, and even parents whose only fault is that they dare to insult or show disrespect to social workers , all run the risk of seeing their children,and even their newborn babies snatched to meet the adoption targets .

 

 

THE SITUATION NOW !

 

As stated earlier, more than 200 MPs think the secrecy is very wrong! 

 

House of Commons

 

http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=29194&SESSION=875       

 

The Daily telegraph quotes "Often, concern for a child's welfare can turn into a battle between parents and social workers. Whether innocent, guilty or just struggling, parents are afraid when social services become involved in their lives. Bill Bache, Angela Cannings's solicitor, says parents view social services as "the Gestapo" and social workers know it. "Our image is of trendies in sandals who snatch babies," says one Essex child service manager"

University of Bristol research showed that at least 50% of parents with learning difficulties have their children snatched for fostering or adoption by social services!http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4752887.stm Eric Pickles M.P exposed in parliament one appalling case where the mother was "slightly slow" and the father perfectly normal.They sucessfully brought up one child for three years but when a second baby was born SS seized both children for adoption on the grounds that even though they admitted that both children were healthy,happy,and well clothed nevertheless their welfare was paramount and they would be more likely to fulfill their potential with a more prosperous and better educated adoptive family !

 

What did Felicity Collier(Former head of BAAF the official adoption asociation) say in "The Guardian" in her very typical "defence" of the SS in this shocking case 

 

 

 

The Guardian article quoted Felicity Collier as follows:- The campaign in question was a series of articles claiming that over-zealous social workers in Essex were snatching children from families because the parents had learning disabilities. Collier is still furious about it. "The case of the parents who weren't bright enough had full judgments and it was clear that there were many reasons, and that this decision was not taken lightly," she says. "The fact is that there are people with learning disabilities that are fine parents, but there are also those for whom looking after their children is very difficult."

 

Please note that Felicity Collier never at any time gave ANY SPECIFIC EXAMPLES of the children suffering in any way when living with their parents.No denial that the eldest child was healthy and happy for 3 years in their care. Just an indignant cclaim that the seizure of the children was "justified" with no reasons why.The judgement published on the Essex Council said exactly the same ! The judge concluded that the parents could no longer cope but he never said why,which made it impossible for the parents to defend themselves since nothing specific was ever alleged against them !

Mrs Justice Pauffley handed down judgment in the above case on 8 August 2005. It related to an application by Essex County Council for orders freeing two children for adoption, A (4 years) and B (14 months).

BBC News January 26  2007 - Babies 'removed to meet targets - Babies are being removed from their parents so that councils can meet adoption targets, MPs have claimed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6297573.stm

 

I REPEAT AGAIN because it is so significant that more than 20 MPs from all parties have already signed an early day motion deploring the taking of babies from their mothers not for their welfare but simply to enable social workers to meet their government adoption targets.

The Times December 21, 2006 - Family courts are the B-side of the law by Camilla Cavendish -  What a strange, fumbling kind of justice system it is that condemns a woman as an unfit mother (real name Sarah) for the heinous crime of trusting her husband. Yet this is what seems to have happened in a recent case that I feel compelled to write about, even though legal restrictions force me to leave out much of the detail. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,28009-2513335,00.html

 

Yes this "Times" article conclusively shows that EVERY parent in the UK could be threatened by the "SS"! Even completely blameless mothers are at risk from Social Services! If a mother dares to marry (or cohabit) with a man who has no criminal record but who has in some way "offended" social services she may have her baby snatched away at birth and given for adoption to complete strangers ! If the mother protests her innocence, as happened in the two cases above of Sarah and Joanna (green para)  she will simply be told that it is her own fault for choosing the wrong father !!

 

How is this for court secrecy ?

 

 

Sarah,the mother in described in "the Times" article above has taken her case to the European Court of Human Rights at Strasbourg .She and her husband Ian have been threatened with imprisonment if they reveal any details of the proceedings in the "secret" family courts.This they were told was to protect the identity of the child. Meanwhile her baby "Crystal and many other little victims have been callously advertised for adoption by social worker hypocrites in the Daily Mirror for around 3 million readers to view and select like pedigree dogs !(see the advert reproduced in the "reform" section of this site).Sarah and her husband Ian will advise other deprived mothers how to contact and apply to the European Court if you phone them on 02084823019.

 

Another mother who lost all her children but has succeeded in appealing to the court of human rights at Strasbourg is "Sharon" who will also help you to do the same!Her number is 01512952268 or her mobile is07877316250.

 

 

Furthermore,if one of your children suffers what the coroner rules as a TRAGIC ACCIDENT do not expect sympathy or comfort from social workers,expect instead a merciless attack !! (followed by the removal of the other children !)

 

Daily Mail November 23, 2006 - A DEVASTATED couple had a child taken away by social workers as their 20-month-old son lay dying in hospital. Tyler Black, who had fallen into the family pond 24 hours earlier, died the day after the other youngster was removed.The coroner attributed no blame for what he described as a tragic but not suspicious  accident.The social workers however still refused to return the surviving child to the grieving parents !!

 

 

  I live and work in Monte Carlo where I own and run a language school. I have an Oxford University law degree but I am not a solicitor or a barrister. So. . . . Who am I really ? and Why do I do what I do ? 

 

I am NOT repeat NOT another "mother Teresa"and I rarely give to charity (in case I end up paying for the director's rolls royce!) but fighting the often brutal actions of Social Services is a cause very close to my heart. Social Services have never hurt me, my family or anyone close to me so I have no personal axe to grind but I HATE THE ABUSE OF POWER and particularly the way the bullies in social services ruthlessly destroy the very families they are supposed to protect. As a matter of principle I never charge a fee and never accept any money whatever for any expenses.Anything a parent tells me is strictly confidential but if parents do want me to involve the press by way of protest I also solemnly undertake that if ever I get offered a fee by a newspaper for introducing a family or writing about parents whose children have been taken then I promise to give 100% of any money received to the family concerned and keep nothing myself.I have no wish to imitate those disgusting people who make money out of the misery of parents who have had their children snatched by Social Services!! 

 

I get two or three new calls from parents nearly every day and advise each one as best I can.Forgive me if I ask you to repeat details and phone numbers each time you telephone or contact me as with around 100 cases going on I need reminding of the basic facts to avoid confusing one similar case with another!  I have businesses to run so can only spare the time to fly over to the UK and go to court for parents as a "Mckenzie friend" in the very worst cases(free of charge) for mothers with no criminal records,drug or alcohol problems who have had their babies snatched at birth by Social Services.This happens more often than you would think !!I will however always find the time to give my advice by email or telephone to ANY parent who contacts me concerning a problem they have with the SS (social services)!

I have sympathy for fathers 4 justice who are so often wrongfully denied access to their children,but it is still infinitely worse for both parents to lose a child or newborn baby to " forced adoption" since this nearly always means that they have no idea where the child is to go and usually they never see that child again for the rest of their lives ! That is why my main fight is against those wicked people who force weeping parents in court to give up their children for adoption by strangers. 

 

HISTORY 

 

This sorry story dates back to the six years 1960-1966 when I was a Kent County Councillor and a mother came to me for help because social workers had taken away her son,Trevor, aged 12 of near genius IQ because he got bored at school and played truant! She was denied all contact and when I asked where he was and if as the mother's elected representative I could at least see him myself I was told to mind my own business ! I found him at a special private school owned by the deputy leader of the Labour party at the time that was charging exhorbitant fees more than 3 times those charged at ETON or HARROW !Young Trevor informed me that the boys were paid the sum of one shilling (5p) when required to sleep with any of their "over affectionate" teachers at this very "special" children's home! Eventually after acrimonious debates in the council chamber and a court action he was returned to his mother and I was asked to help many other parents whose children had been removed for absurd reasons.

 

I applied in court for the discharge of care orders. I called the parents and sometimes the children themselves as witnesses in court against my own Council and I never lost a case so I was not best popular with my colleagues and the social workers! However after 6 years of neglecting my language school (then in Ramsgate) I decided not to stand at the next election as I really had to earn my living and look after my family so I reluctantly gave up the battle. . . . . for a time

 

In 2004 there was suddenly a lot of publicity when it was admitted that thousands of children had been wrongly taken from mothers who had been diagnosed with munchausen's syndrome, meaning that mothers who took their children to hospital too often were deliberately hurting them to draw attention to themselves ;This was one of the absurd notions of the now discredited professor Meadows which had no scientific basis that could possibly justify attributing the syndrome to so many unfortunate women. Worse still was his completely unproved theory that two cot deaths in the same family were 70 million to one ! Hundreds of women were condemned for murder. Their surviving children and babies born subsequently were taken away and given for adoption by strangers. Only later was it realised that genetic factors made it far more likely for cot deaths to repeat in the same family than elsewhere and odds reduced to about 60 to 1.

 

These cases were in the Criminal Courts so they got fully reported and this provoked me to write to the Daily Mail detailing some of my experiences on Kent County Council all those years ago. They published my letter and I was surprised subsequently to receive several requests from mothers and parents trying to recover and in some cases just to contact children snatched from them by social services. I am now comfortably off, my 7 children are adult, and I am in my seventies with the time, and still with the energy to once again take up the battle with social services !

WHO PROFITS FROM THE ADOPTION RACKET?

Local Authorities(stars,beacon status, and financial rewards under public service agreements .Kent for example got £21million)

Very highly paid "professionals"  presume to "assess" the parenting skills of distraught mothers who have had their children taken into care.(around £3000 per 2-3 hour session ),"legal aid lawyers" (a case in the family courts costs an average of £70,000 per day so total legal costs of over £500,000 for one case are not unusual! ,)Therapists, psychiatrists , and counsellors who are paid around £3000 for a few hours work eagerly predict that parents might "emotionally abuse" their children at some time in the future.  Tame medical experts  somehow always side with social services against the parents.(They also receive around £3000 for one afternoon session plus a report)

Foster parents(up to £400per week per child plus allowances for Xmas and holidays)Special schools charging up to £7000 per week per child(as shown on tv channel 4, Adoption and fostering agencies charging up to £18,000 per placement.

 

HERE is how Kent County Council were rewarded for hitting and even surpassing their "ADOPTION TARGETS" (£21million!)

 

 

 

Extract from the Telegraph:-

Official figures show that only six per cent of the 60,000 children in care gain five or more A* to C GCSEs and more than a third are not entered for a single GCSE.

 

Conviction rates for young people in care are three times the rate for other juveniles. One in four girls leaving care is pregnant or already a mother. A recent case which caused outrage involved a 12-year-old living in a children's home in Blackburn who became pregnant while working as a prostitute.

 

Dismal outcomes are the norm despite the £2.5 billion a year spent looking after them. It costs £100,000 a year to keep a child in a children's home, more than four times the fees at top private schools such as Eton or Winchester.

 

Fostering can cost up to £30,000 a year, compared with the £7,500 a year that state boarding schools charge parents for accommodation, with the £5,000 cost of education covered by the local authorities.

 

The whole system of  Social Services,family courts,lawyers,"experts", special schools, fostering and adoption agencies depends on one thing alone....!Cash,lots of Cash !!

Social Services frequently claim children are "at risk" of "physical "or more often "emotional" harm from their parents,so is all this money spent putting children into care worthwhile?Here is just one example, which I MUST repeat again because it is so IMPORTANT !

 

JUST LOOK AT THE RISK A YOUNG GIRL RUNS WHEN TAKEN INTO "CARE" !

Sunday Mail August 27 2006 - Care home girl abused by 25 men in 2 years - A 14-year-old girl placed in a council children's home was prostituted to a group of depraved middle-aged men because staff were powerless to stop her going out. The horrific story of 'Becky' is highlighted in a BBC programme presented by Fiona Bruce this week which reveals how she was sexually abused by 25 men over two years - despite being known to social services and having been placed on the Child Protection Register. 

 

  Source: Daily Mail Published: 27th August 2006  

 

Social Services do NOT have the power they pretend to have over you and your children ! They rely almost entirely on threats and on BLUFF !! If they admit they have no power to stop a 12 year old in their care from working as a prostitute for 2 years,they certainly cannot stop children in care from phoning their parents, meeting them, or visiting them for a meal as long as they return to the fosterers or care home afterwards!

 

Research found that 42 per cent of young prostitutes had been in care at some point

Published: 14 December 2006 By the "INDEPENDENT"

 

 

The Government's own research highlights how the care system is not simply a negligent parent but at times probably more dangerous than the family from which some children have been taken. A study commissioned by the Home Office has looked at the link between hard drug use, sex work and various vulnerability factors. The results are astonishing, if not heartbreaking.

 

Less than 1 per cent of the child population is looked after by the state, but the research found that 42 per cent of young women prostitutes interviewed had been in care at some point in their lives. "This is an extraordinary figure, which demonstrates that looked after children are very vulnerable to involvement in drug use and sexual abuse through prostitution," the report concluded.

 

Gay foster parents abuse young boys,mother"s complaints ignored by social services!

Foster carer convicted of abuse and cruelty towards children in her care

 

writes Mithran Samuel

 

 

Former Gloucestershire foster carer Eunice Spry was convicted yesterday of multiple charges of abuse and cruelty towards children in her care, all of whom she was given parental responsibility for.

 

Spry, who was convicted at Bristol Crown Court, carried out the abuse over a 20-year period on three children, each of whom she either adopted or was given a residence order for. 

 

Council let known paedophile become foster parent

PATRICK BARNHAM AND RAYMOND HAINEY

A COUNCIL allowed a paedophile to become a foster parent, despite knowing he had been convicted of abusing a young girl, it was revealed yesterday.

 

William Alexander and his wife, Jessie, were approved as foster carers by Aberdeen City Council in 1993 - 14 years after he had been found guilty of lewd and libidinous behaviour and practices with a youngster.

 

His conviction - and the fact the local authority knew about it - emerged yesterday after he was convicted of abusing three young girls during the late 1990s. Children's campaigners last night raised questions about how Alexander was permitted to take on the role.

 

A jury of nine men and six women took just 40 minutes to find Alexander guilty of five counts of lewd and libidinous behaviour and practices at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. Sheriff Colin Harris deferred sentence until next month and Alexander, 57, from Bridge of Don, was released on bail.

 

Council officials last night defended the decision to allow Alexander to foster. A spokesman said: "Aberdeen City Council was aware of Mr Alexander's previous conviction, but did not consider that it posed a risk to the young person involved."

 

The spokesman said the couple's registration was suspended in May 2001 after a young person made an allegation of "inappropriate behaviour". They were formally de-registered six months later. He added: "We are aware of the circumstances surrounding the prosecution and conviction of Mr Alexander and have undertaken a complete review of the circumstances surrounding his approval as a foster carer, including reviewing the case files of all the children and young people placed in his care.

 

"Aberdeen City Council wishes to express its sincere regret at the nature of the offences and the distress this has caused the young women involved."

 

The trial heard that Alexander abused two 14-year-old girls and one seven-year-old girl between 1995 and 1997.

 

One of the teenagers was lying in her bed when Alexander entered her room and abused her. The court heard the girl was drunk at the time.

 

Duncan MacKenzie, prosecuting, told the jury: "She told you in graphic detail what was done to her in the bedroom by the accused and how she felt when that was happening.

 

"Drunk or not, she was fully aware of what was being done to her and by whom."

 

Alexander's previous conviction was at Stonehaven Sheriff Court in June 1979, when he was fined £80.

 

A spokesman for the charity Children 1st last night raised concerns about the council's handling of the case.

 

He said: "I cannot think of circumstances where it would be appropriate for someone convicted of sexual abuse against children to become a foster carer. You would not expect someone with a conviction of that nature to be approved as a foster carer."

 

The spokesman said the girls involved would need considerable assistance to help them come to terms with their ordeal. He added: "They will need a lot of support and care to get over this."

 

Outside court after the trial, Mrs Alexander bundled her husband into a waiting car with a leather jacket draped over his head.

 

About a dozen of the couple's neighbours lined up outside the court to hurl abuse at Alexander.

 

One of them, John MacDonald, said: "He got what he deserved at last.

 

"Those poor girls he molested are scarred for life."

 

• Social workers in Aberdeen were harshly criticised in the wake of their ineffective supervision of the paedophile Stephen Leisk, who murdered Scott Simpson, nine, in 1997.

 

A report into that case found that the senior social worker supervising Leisk let himself be conned by the sex offender.

 

The social worker came under fire over a series of fundamental failings in his supervision of Leisk in the weeks leading up to the boy's murder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Foster father raped me!

 

Wednesday 24th January 2007

 

Source: http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/

 

 

 

Yes,it's true that hundreds of parents physically abuse their children but it's also true that THOUSANDS of  foster parents, step parents ,adoptive parents ,and yes even social workers themselves working in children's homes do exactly the same!All deserve to be punished when detected, but in fact most of the cases CONTESTED by parents in the family courts concern either "emotional abuse" or worse still "risk of future harm" the  two latest "excuses" to take babies and young children from their parents and give them to complete strangers to meet adoption targets!As far as I know there is no recorded case where parents recovered their children in court against opposition from social services and subsequently abused or injured them.Surely this indicates that mothers who come weeping into the family courts begging for the return of their children should be given the benefit of any doubt?

 

EXTRACT FROM" NATIONAL STATISTICS"

 

Between 1994 to 2004 there were steady decreases in the proportions of children who were aged 5 to 14 who were adopted, and a significant increase in the proportion adopted who were aged 1 to 4. In 2004, 49 per cent of children adopted were in this age group compared with 26 per cent in 1994, while 13 per cent of adopted children in 2004 were aged 10 to 14 compared with 23 per cent ten years earlier.

 

 

THE GOLDEN RULES!!

 

Once again I will repeat the golden rules as they are so important ! Do please remember them all ! (By all means print this off and keep the copy near at hand if SS approach!Show these rules to your lawyer or social worker to show you KNOW your rights!)

 

REMEMBER THESE EVEN IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE I HAVE ADVISED!   

 

1:- Never contact social services for help or advice .Usually you should not report a partner who batters you or even a stranger who sexually assaults your young child, as if you do the SS will as often as not take your children into care(and later for adoption) to "protect them" from risk !If they have your children and you are fighting to get them back,NEVER NEVER tell social workers how you think you are going to defeat them, or what you are going to do next !Remember ,without mentioning it to "them",that even if your children are "in care" social workers do not have the legal power to stop your children going to a call box to phone you or even meeting you for a meal as long as they return "home" to the fosterers afterwards!

 

2:- Never believe a word they say and always insist they put their promises down in writing.Always be pleasant and polite to social workers,and remember that they may deliberately try to provoke you into shouting or violence that they will exaggerate in court leaving you with a criminal record and no children!When they shout at you forget your "pride" and look very hurt saying "why are you being like this to me?" or"I thought you were so nice until now, please don't bully me!" Be very respectful "tongue in cheek", but never follow their "helpful advice" especially if they say your only chance of getting your children back is to split from a partner or parent you love and respect! They will try and turn you against each other as the "divide and rule" principle makes sure you are confused and demoralised when you lose your case  and your children too ! Quite often they arrange deliberately awkward contact times with your children. This can result first in the loss of your job and then as a consequence of that ,your accommodation also.Object loudly and forcefully in court to their plans and fight hard to keep your job and your house or flat. 

 

3:- NEVER,NEVER,NEVER, sign any documents they present to you,even if they say "you have to!" Social Workers rely on BLUFF.In reality they have NO POWER and no right to threaten you or give you orders of any kind!Only a COURT via an order from a judge can give you orders,and you always have the opportunity to contest those orders in court either before or after they are given to you.No matter what threats,or promises they make ,you can be 100% sure that if you get intimidated into signing they will break their word and expect you to keep your's! so, DO NOT SIGN !! 

 

 4:-Never, never agree to let your children go into foster care (especially if they say it is temporary) Never "agree" the thresholds even if you are advised that this will ensure the return of your children,because if you do you will have admitted neglecting or abusing your child and the only question left will be to decide if you have really repented and are capable of "change"! Usually the answer is no !Sometimes your own lawyer may tell you to agree the thresholds and/or agree to an interim care order otherwise "you will never see your children again !"That is a wicked lie designed to save the lawyers work and to help you LOSE your children ! BEWARE ! 

 

5:-Never answer questions at case meetings , in court, or when you are being assessed by so called experts,(psychiatrists,therapists,psychologists,  counsellors,professionals, and the like) with more than 5 or 6 words (they write down anything unhelpful you may let slip). Try indeed to answer "yes" or "no" whenever possible . Never explain or elaborate as this only gives extra material to those who wish to discredit you.    

 

6:-Protect yourself against social workers barging uninvited into your home by fitting a small chain inside your front door.This means that if you do not unlatch the chain when you see who is calling that person would have to push the door hard enough to break the chain which would be a "forced entry "and a criminal offence if committed without an document from  the court such as a "recovery order" specifically allowing entry using reasonable force .Unless they have good reason to believe someone in the house is in danger of severe physical harm police also would have to have a warrant before breaking the chain . Usually they will not have one and would have to convince a judge that a serious crime had been or was about to be  committed before one was granted.

 

7:-If social services request a look at your medical records (probably to try and find something to discredit you) ALWAYS write to any doctor or psychiatrist that has seen you as follows:-

 

"I respectfully request you to keep all my medical notes strictly confidential as I intend to take legal proceedings  against social services and any other persons who might obtain my medical details without my express authorisation".

 

8:-Never write a letter to anyone connected to Social Services as you might include something that could damage your case in the family court.Only accept a solicitor if he/she promises to allow you a free hand to speak in court! You should be asked this simple question in the winess box "Have you anything you would like to say to the court?"Without this promise you may be "gagged" and you can lose your case without being allowed to say a word! 

 

And YES! They really,really do make up false evidence as "The Times" points out.............
