A single woman who was chosen to adopt a boy subjected him to four years of beatings and abuse.Whoops!
The adoption was one of the first by a single mother after social workers and adoption agencies began looking for single parents and gay couples to adopt, in some cases in preference to married couples.And why…?
Surely it’s the child’s welfare that should be put first, not whatever mad theories are whirling around the social work seminar network this week?
Still, as long as she was experienced in child rearing and…
Oh. Wait:
The 43-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had never lived in a long-term relationship or been married when social workers decided she was suitable to adopt.Hey, let’s dispense with all that ’experience required’ nonsense in things like gas fitting, nuclear technician posts and airline pilot positions too, what could go wrong?
I guess they figured because she was a woman, she’d be a natural at that child-rearing thing. It comes with the equipment, doesn’t it?
Yesterday she was given a conditional discharge after admitting child cruelty.Eh…?
Sorry, I need to see that again:
Yesterday she was given a conditional discharge after admitting child cruelty.Oh, for f…
It’s enough to make you weep. Read what she did to the child:
The boy - whose age during his time as an adopted child was given only as under 12 - came from a troubled background, Exeter Crown Court heard.Yeah, it’s a bit more extreme than the ‘naughty step’.
Within a short period after he went to live with the woman, she began to use violence to try to control his behaviour.
Incidents included smacking him in the face and digging fingernails into his chin, kicking him while he lay on the floor, lying on top of him, and grabbing his arms.
On one occasion she pushed his face into a plate of hot spaghetti as a punishment.
Still, maybe she was one of those cunning people that the SS just can’t seem to spot when they are right under their noses? Maybe she was adept at disguising injuries via the careful application of chocolate, and was never in when the SS came to check up?
Well, no:
During therapy sessions, the boy spoke of physical abuse and said that he did not want to go home.And of course, since prevailing social worker belief is that children don’t lie (see various ‘Satanic abuse’ hoaxes), that’s when the problem came to light and the…
Oh. Wait:
However, the abuse continued until last year when a social worker noticed pinch marks on his arms. The boy has since been found a new home and the woman has been told she cannot adopt again.Ah. Guess the ‘children don’t lie’ meme is merrily thrown out the window when one of the pampered pets of the Righteous is in the firing line…
Still, at least one SS was switched on enough to notice that maybe unhappy child + visible marks might = bad news on the publicity front.
And the ostensible reason for this poor child’s plight? A crazy theory, of course:
In the late 1990s, social workers began to choose single parents as adoptive mothers on the grounds that children who had been born to single parents are better brought up in one-parent homes.*sigh*
children who had been born to single parents are better brought up in one-parent homes.
ReplyDeleteThere's the reason!
It's obvious now I think of it.
Children born to self harmers should brought up by self harmers. Children born to drug addicts should brought up by drug addicts. Children born to abusive parents should brought up by abusive parents.
You don't have to make it up anymore. In fact the crazy things people suggested in jest a few years ago are now actually happening. Mental. Yet, try and make a complaint and see how far that gets you, one very sore forehead from banging it against that wall.
ReplyDeleteAs I eat toast with bites I might reserve for a social worker's shin, the comforting passage from the Gospel according to St. SS, "Lessons will be learnt" springs to mind as an instant emetic.
ReplyDeleteEvery tick box, result minded social worker knows that a pair of married heterosexuals are likely to raise, sorry harm, children with traditional ideas and beliefs. 'Single' social workers who are themselves childless, acquire temporary positions as Baroness Bombursts of Child Care until inevitable dismissal for gross incompetence. In the meantime, the post offers free scope to recruit the most gullible and myopic amongst child catcher candidates and set them loose with their brutal ten point checklists.
And by contrast there is that couple whose two boys were mown down by a drunk footballer and they aren't allowed to adopt because 'they are still greiving' and that other couple with a hubby with the 'wrong' BMI.
ReplyDeleteOr the kids with the chaotic drug taking mother who will be better off with a gay couple rather than their grandparents...
The list is endless.
It seems very clear to me that the SS will do everything they can to control/judge the nice law-abiding bunch whilst propping up those who aren't in the name of equality.
Total poo.
And only today I left a comment on Mummylonglegs' blog that people who systematically abuse children should be slowly abraded to death starting with a belt sander in the rusty sheriff's badge, and here's one getting a fucking conditional discharge. Words fail me.
ReplyDeleteYou do wonder where these idiots get their ideas from. Who on earth thought that a single inexperienced mother would be better than a stable two-parent family?
ReplyDeleteAt least she wasn't a smoker, or overweight, though.
ReplyDeleteSo, never let it be said that the powers-that-be don't have 'standards'.
A conditional discharge for 4 years of abuse?
ReplyDeleteAre the sentencing guidelines being set by Austrians?
Who on earth thought that a single inexperienced mother would be better than a stable two-parent family?
ReplyDeleteStable two parent families are so often middle class today. They might even vote Tory. Ergo, not suitable for the SS agenda or their pliant MSM.
"In the late 1990s, social workers began to choose single parents as adoptive mothers on the grounds that children who had been born to single parents are better brought up in one-parent homes."
ReplyDeleteIt all fits in with keeping kids within their culture, see?
Black kids can't be adopted by white families becasue then they'd mis out on their unique heritage. Probably grow up literate and law-abiding and marry before having kids.
Bastardy is an hereditary cultural position akin to a race.
Pass it on.
Given that the standards for child welfare are higherin Malawi, maybe Madge should try to find a baby in Britain.
ReplyDelete"It's obvious now I think of it.
ReplyDeleteChildren born to self harmers should brought up by self harmers. Children born to drug addicts should brought up by drug addicts. Children born to abusive parents should brought up by abusive parents."
Pretty hard for the SS to avoid that train of 'logical thinking', isn't it?
"It seems very clear to me that the SS will do everything they can to control/judge the nice law-abiding bunch whilst propping up those who aren't in the name of equality."
In the name of something. I'm not sure it's equality, though...
"Are the sentencing guidelines being set by Austrians?"
You have to wonder...
"Given that the standards for child welfare are higherin Malawi, maybe Madge should try to find a baby in Britain."
Lol!
