Family Court Secrecy - A Monstrosity That Shouldn't Exist In The UK...

The 'Times' today has a story to make your blood boil:
So why on earth did they flout the law? Why didn’t they wait for the hearing? “Because Sam would already have been adopted. The goodbye meeting [when a mother meets her child for the last time before adoption] was scheduled for September. She was to tell him that she was having a baby and that the baby would replace him. They were hoping to place him with a lesbian couple in London.
The 'Times' is campaigning for a change to the Family Court system (having won an injunction against Medway council's gagging order to tell this small part of the story), and does not want to name the social workers involved in this case.

But they should be named. And then sacked. And prevented from ever having anything to do with child protection for the rest of their lives, in any capacity...

  3. As a father of 3 children I can honestly say I would be prepared to kill any social worker acting like this with my children.

    It's just self defence.

  4. Idiots like teacher.paris should know that social workers in Germany used to take children from "unsuitable" parents and place them in adoption or in state run institutions, precisely as in this story. For example the Lebensborn Project. And in exactly the same way the press was gagged to prevent the facts getting out.

    There is a commonality between fascism and socialism. Both believe in a centralised state presided over by philosopher kings. I suggest you read Jon Ray or the book Liberal Fascism
