Helpless, Hapless, Or Hopeless?

It seems this is one of those stories that has it all:
A young mum has been prevented from seeing her 16-month-old daughter by social services because her housing association failed to repair her front door after it was smashed in by police.
A mistake? Well, no:
On April 6, a friend of Miss Brier rang on her door bell but there was no answer. Concerned about Miss Brier’s welfare she called her mobile phone but again there was no answer.

Knowing that Miss Brier had a history of mental health problems, her friend called an ambulance who instructed police officers to knock down her front door.
And that was an error and she was fine all along? Well, no:
She was rushed to hospital and treated by doctors.
And her complaint now is..?
Miss Brier said: "I spoke to someone called John Constable who said they would fix the door but weeks later no one had even contacted me.

"It’s really upsetting because now social services have deemed my flat as ‘unsuitable’ for my daughter. "
I don't think it's your flat that's unsuitable, sweetie. I think it's YOU...

As ever, further clarification comes from the comments:
Rainbowblue, London says...

If she is so good, why was she barred from every licensed premises in Sutton ? I saw her picture up and asked what it was for. Likes a drink don't she, where's her kid then whilst she p*ssed up in town ?
Now, what was all that fuss about the SS being to quick to take kids away from parents, eh? Seems like they are always prepared to go the extra mile.

For some...

Good, fucking low life sluts replicating should be forcibly sterilised. The test, if you can't financially support your child you lose it. No ifs or buts, off you go, without your ill conceived child, no benefit, no house...... There's nothing wrong with this bint apart from she's a parasitic waster prepared to use her child for her own selfish means. The child is better off without her. Useless waste of life.
The children - state funded military boarding school

So she was training to be a firefighter when she just happened to fall pregnant? I bet the brigade breathed a sigh of relief when that happened.

Mind you, I bet the only hose that she got to handle was the one that got jammed between her legs.

Social services were right to take the child away. The welfare of the child must come first, and she must not be returned to her mother.

It wasn't "her front door", it was the housing assoc's.

Their door. Their decision.


How to ensure your front door gets repaired? Have your own front door and organise and pay for the repair YOURSELF.

having sex does not equal producing a child.

being pregnant does not equal having a child.

why then are there so many parents unwilling or unable to support there own children?

did all of their situations change?
were they unaware that they were about to give birth?

taking children from people unable and or unwilling to provide a home and a future is not cruel in fact supporting them is.

to the woman in this story - well done love you have done everything to fuck up not only your life but someone who had no choice in the matter either. you selfish, twisted, sick fuck.

if she had spent half as much time, money and effort sorting her life out as she did getting pissed and pregnant then she would have a point. as it is she is only mentaly ill because deep down she knows what a fuck up she is.

"The test, if you can't financially support your child you lose it."

Unfortunately, that wouldn't deal with all those who CAN financially support their child, yet choose no to...

"So she was training to be a firefighter when she just happened to fall pregnant? I bet the brigade breathed a sigh of relief when that happened."

Indeed! They dodged a bullet there.

"Social services were right to take the child away. The welfare of the child must come first..."

Far, far too often, it doesn't.

"How to ensure your front door gets repaired? Have your own front door and organise and pay for the repair YOURSELF."

In her interview she actually says 'The only other thing I can do is buy a new door but it costs something like £500 and I can’t afford that.'. I wonder how much she spends on booze?

"taking children from people unable and or unwilling to provide a home and a future is not cruel in fact supporting them is."

And it's self-perpetuating too.

"if she had spent half as much time, money and effort sorting her life out as she did getting pissed and pregnant then she would have a point."

But when you can get a legion of the SS to run around after you, why would she?

"how did we get to this, where women hold a gun to the head of thier children, men and the state?"

We stopped consequences. And then personal responsibility fled out the door after them...

"Social workers know care is an expensive disaster and will hang on to any excuse to leave the family in situ making life impossible for neighbours."

And yet, there's plenty of cases where they've attempted to take children on the flimsiest of excuses (usually mothers who are 'a little bit dim' or who argue with the SS or medical profession).

They do tend to be babies though.
