Child taken into care in Australia for being too fat

This story from Australia shocked me so much that I had to share it.  How can social workers justify taking a child into care for being overweight?  There are a million reasons why a child may be overweight, there are even medical conditions which can cause obesity, so it is particularly shocking that a child can simply be taken into care for possibly having an illness?

Instead of taking the child away from a loving home, pay for him to have weight loss surgery, and have his diet regimented and closely monitored if you actually give a fuck about the kid.  Don’t just steal the kid from the one place in the world where he is going to receive unconditional love.

Why are we allowing these judgmental cunts to take our children away just because they decide that they don’t like us?  What about the children who are actually being abused?  How about taking them into care instead?  What a fucking joke.

If there is one message I can get through to you today, if you are dealing with Social Services, do not be a push over.  Do not roll over and accept this crap.  Stand up for yourself, make your voice heard.  If you are being abused by social workers, you can defeat them.  Teach the bastards a lesson, and make sure they realise that they fucked with the wrong person.

(Herald Sun) Social workers take obese boy from mother’s care

AN eight-year-old American boy, who weighs more than 90kg, has been taken from his family and placed into foster care after social workers said his mother wasn’t doing enough to control his weight.

The Plain Dealer newspaper reports the Cleveland boy is considered severely obese and at risk from such diseases as diabetes and hypertension.

The case is the first state officials can recall of a child being put in foster care strictly for a weight-related issue.

Lawyers for the mother say the county overreacted when authorities took the boy last week, saying the medical problems he’s at risk of developing don’t yet pose an imminent danger.

Social Workers go to jail in America but would it ever happen here?

Great news this week in America as two social workers are sent to prison for failing a child.  It is refreshing to hear that some of these bastards who ruin children’s lives could face some accountability for once, but how long before we see this in the UK?  The UK is always a few years behind America, it always has been, so surely it won’t be long before we see these monsters who parade around as “child protectors” being flung behind bars for endangering the lives of innocent  children?  Bring it on…

Dad, 2 social workers get prison in final Danieal sentences
BY MENSAH M. DEAN ~ THE SAD STORY of Danieal Kelly concluded yesterday after the final three defendants convicted for contributing to the handicapped girl’s 2006 starvation death received prison sentences.

“I know I let my daughter down,” a downcast Daniel Kelly, 40, said moments before he and two social workers were each sentenced to 2 1/2 to five years in state prison.

In July, a jury convicted the absentee dad of child endangerment for turning Danieal over to his ex-wife – her mother – even though he knew she was an unfit parent. The child wasted away to 42 pounds and died at 14 in her mother’s filthy West Philadelphia home in August 2006.

Dana Poindexter, 54, a former city Department of Human Services social worker who failed to do paperwork and check on the girl and her family as he was required, also expressed remorse.

“I always see her face at some point during the day,” he said.

Mickal Kamuvaka, 62, who ran the social-service agency contracted by the city to monitor Danieal’s family, declined to speak. Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart ruled that her sentence would begin after a 19-year federal sentence she is serving related to the case.

Poindexter was convicted of child endangerment, perjury and reckless endangerment. Kamuvaka was convicted of the same charges, as well as involuntary manslaughter, forgery and tampering with evidence.

Inquiry likely into fears child could die due to social workers’ ‘unmanageable’ workloads

An inquiry looks certain to be held into revelations Cardiff council social workers fear a child could die because of staff shortages and overwhelming workloads.

The inquiry will next week be ordered as a matter of urgency and could be held as early as the end of this month.

Councillors on the authority’s Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee will take evidence from frontline social workers and their managers.

It’s anticipated the task and finish group will report back with its findings and recommendations by the end of the year or early in the New Year.

A meeting of the committee to discuss the inquiry was called within hours of our revelations that social workers fear “unmanageable” caseloads could result in a child’s death.

Leaked documents showed staff in the council’s children’s services Intake and Assessment (I&A) Team are suffering “stress”, “very low morale” and feel senior managers haven’t taken on board their concerns.

Councillor Bill Kelloway, committee chairman, said: “We have been aware that there have been recruitment and retention issues. We receive a number of reports during the year and we always ask the question about whether it compromises the safety of children and we always receive assurances that it has not.

“Obviously we were not aware of the views of some of the employees. We would like to speak to them directly, as well as their trade unions.”

The I&A team assess the needs of the city’s most vulnerable children, including those in danger of abuse or families in need of extra support.

The revelations were made in the leaked minutes of a meeting, held in September, between 16 social workers and social work assistants.

In one case, a social worker was dealing with 49 cases at one time – more than three times the number of cases normally recommended. Newly qualified staff have between 29 and 35 cases and one social worker who has only been qualified for a year has a caseload of 39, according to the minutes.

Recommendations brought in following the murder of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie in London 11 years ago state workers should have 10 to 15 cases.

Cardiff staff felt the high caseloads, lack of supervision and training, and “hostility” between teams lead to “dangerous practice” and fears “about having a child death on their caseload”.

The minutes also claim the situation had “deteriorated” since staff raised concerns in a letter – dated from February – sent to senior managers.

Coun Kelloway, Penylan’s Liberal Democrat councillor, said it was well known that child welfare referrals had increased since the case of Baby P, the 17-month-old who died in London four years ago after suffering more than 50 injuries.

Councils, he said, were also struggling to attract qualified social workers as agencies tended to pay higher wages.

“At the moment, a group of employees have had a meeting and expressed a view that has been recorded in minutes and is now in the public realm,” Coun Kelloway said.

“It’s a point of view that should be of concern to anybody who reads that, but there may be another point of view.

“If the concerns that are expressed by the social workers have foundation to them then they are raising matters that require urgent attention.”

Catriona Williams, chief executive of Children in Wales, the national umbrella children’s organisation, said she was “genuinely concerned” about the overall increasing demands on children’s social services departments.

“We are very aware that the larger the number of the caseload the less time that is spent with each of the cases and therefore there is a limit to what can be achieved. Matching need to resources should be constantly under review,” she said.

“It is critical that there is a collaborative approach within the council to get the best services for children and this does require openness between all parts of the service delivering support and protection to the children.”

The council has insisted the concerns had been treated seriously and were being addressed.

A spokeswoman said the authority had seen an increase in child protection and children in need referrals, in line with the national trend. She said changes had been made to how work was distributed and dealt with to ease workloads.

Woman’s search for adopted son

A GRANDMOTHER wants to track down her first-born child after she was forced to give him up by her parents.

Irene Hewitt, 60, has been desperately searching for her son, who she named Michael Beven, since she gave him up for adoption ten days after he was born on March 23, 1967.

The grandmother-of-two fell pregnant with Michael when she was 15 and living with her parents in Tilbury. She was forced to quit her job at Thames Board Mill before giving birth to Michael, who had blonde hair and weighed about nine pounds at Orsett Hospital when she was 16.

Irene, who still lives in Tilbury, said: “I looked after him for ten days in the hospital before he was adopted.

“He was such a beautiful, well-behaved baby and I loved him from the start and got really close to him.

“I have told my three sons about him and they would like to contact him too.”

A year after he was born Irene married his father Michael Hadley and had three sons, Michael, Martin and Andrew.

Irene continued: “I believe his name may have been changed to Peter.

“My parents and my aunt organised the adoption so I didn’t know much but I have been told my aunt’s former insurer Mr Connolly was also quite involved in the process. It is possible he could of been adopted by his sister or a relative of his.

“I have an eye condition which means I am slowly losing my sight and it could be hereditary.”

Irene has subscribed to Norcap, an agency that helps people affected by adoption, in the hopes of tracing Michael, but so far has not been successful.

Irene added: “All I really know is he was adopted by a middle aged couple who could not have children and lived in London.

“I just want to meet up and find out more about him.”

Lord Justice Wall takes on an alarming child-snatching case

Here’s the latest from Christopher Booker, who does a great job exposing the disgusting mess that is the British child snatching industry…  Please sit down while you read this, because it truly is another shocking example of the UK becoming a Nazi state.

By Christopher Booker for the Telegraph

In the child-snatching story that I have reported on here most often, the latest twists are as disturbing as anything that has gone before. The case has been taken over by Lord Justice Wall, the President of the Family Division. It is a classic instance of how, when social workers seize children on the basis of what appears to be a crashing initial mistake, they then seem to make ever more questionable allegations against the parents to defend their original blunder.

On June 27, a year-old baby that had been torn from its mother’s arms at birth (but was later returned to the couple on a judge’s orders) developed a fever. When the parents took the baby to hospital for medical advice, the staff contacted social workers, who called in the police on an allegation that the parents had drugged the baby with opium. The parents were arrested and held in a police cell for 27 hours. The baby was taken back into care.

This month, I am told, the police announced that no charges would be brought against the couple, lab tests having shown no trace of any drugs. The social workers had apparently known this for weeks. Meanwhile, they asked the police to arrest the couple on a charge of conspiracy to abduct their other five children from foster homes and take them abroad. The parents had no idea where their children were, having not seen them for many months. Again, it seems, no charges are to be brought, because there was no evidence.

Despite an order by Lord Justice Wall that the parents must again be given regular contact with their children, his order has, I gather, been ignored. There is much in this alarming case for the learned judge to investigate.

Lord Justice Munby should be ashamed of himself

lord justice munby

A judge, who looks as though he can barely care for himself by the looks of things, has judged that a Mother who has had her child stolen from a County Council in England, is not even going to be given a chance to look after her own baby.

What is her crime you may ask?  Is she a mad rapist?  Is she a murderer or a serial killer?  Has she beaten up a child?  Has she even ever been accused of neglecting a child?  The answer to all of those questions is NO!

You may be surprised to learn that the girl’s only crime is the fact that she is only 14 years old, and is slightly immature.  For this reason, Lord Justice Munby made the judgement that she can “barely look after herself, let alone a child!”  How fucking dare he say such a thing!  How the fuck is he supposed to know if she can look after a child if she is not even given the fucking chance to look after a child, the fucking dick head that he is.

Oh we’re all so high and mighty as we sit upon our pedestals leering over the less educated, and lower class in our society aren’t we Lord Justice Munby? Yes, of course, we should allow the judiciary to rule with an iron fist and place yet another innocent child into the HELL FIRE of the adoption system. You pig headed, judgmental monsters. May all of you who see fit to judge this poor girl face the heartache of losing a child, then you will truly learn the error of your ways.

At least in Nazi Germany, they only starved and gassed the Jews.  I would much rather have lived in Nazi Germany as a Jew, being starved and gassed than to live in the UK in 2011 where all of your children and any future children you may have can be removed by the fucking government simply because you’re “slightly immature for your age” or some other similar, stupid fucking non reason.

Lord Justice Munby… what a cunt.  The day I decide to stop saying exactly how I feel, will be the day I stop writing all together.  We must not allow these cunts to force us to live in a climate of fear.  If we allow ourselves to exist in a world where we can be constantly bullied and pushed around by people in authority, then we have stolen our children’s freedom, and that’s just not fair.  It’s time to stop accepting this bullshit, because that’s what it is.  Stop putting up with this crap.  Enough is enough!

Girl who gave birth at 14 loses right to keep her baby after judge hears she is ‘barely able to care for herself’

A desperate mother who gave birth aged 14 has failed to save the baby she loves from adoption after a judge heard she is barely mature enough to look after herself.

The baby girl’s father has had little to do with her, but her mother has fought through the courts to keep the one-year-old within her natural family.

But a family judge at London’s Appeal Court, Lord Justice Munby, today dashed her hopes after hearing that the ‘well-intentioned’ mother is young for her age and ‘barely able to care for herself, let alone care for a young child’.

The baby’s maternal grandmother has already failed in an attempt to be allowed to look after her and today’s decision means the little girl is now destined for a “closed adoption” – after which her natural family may never see her again.

At Worcester County Court earlier this year, Judge Richard Rundell said it was ‘unrealistic’ to expect the mother to look after her baby.

He said that given her own emotional and behavioural problems, a further assessment of her parenting skills would serve ‘absolutely no purpose’.

The grandmother’s ‘eloquent and passionate’ pleas to care for the baby also came to nothing in September when Appeal Court judge Lord Justice Ward rejected her pleas, despite describing the case as ‘heart-rending’ and declaring himself ‘overwhelmed with sympathy’.

Before Lord Justice Munby, the mother’s lawyers argued Judge Rundell had been ‘plainly wrong’ to refuse her a further parenting assessment before severing her from her baby.

They argued the mother had ‘matured immeasurably’ and deserved another chance.

However, the judge today said the local authority’s plan was for a closed adoption and Judge Rendell ‘was entitled to conclude as he did and for the reasons he gave’.

‘The ultimate balance was for the judge to strike’, he said, refusing the mother permission to appeal against Judge Rundell’s decision.

Judge Wall, the secrecy rules, and another stinging attack

Christopher Booker, Telegraph: The most senior judge in the Family Division, Lord Justice Wall, takes an unprecedented step.

Some of my readers may have been puzzled last week to see such lurid headlines as “Racehorse trainer lied that her ex was a child molester”, over stories about Vicky Haigh, who has featured several times in this column. They were prompted by an unprecedented broadside launched by Lord Justice Wall, head of the Family Courts division, against Miss Haigh – who, as I have reported here, escaped to Ireland in April to pre-empt her newborn baby being seized by Nottinghamshire social workers. However, the case in which Lord Justice Wall broke all legal precedent by identifying Miss Haigh in such damning terms was not the one I have reported here. It centres instead on her daughter by a previous partner, which has long been the subject of a highly contentious case involving Doncaster social workers.

The reason for Wall deciding to break all the normal rules of secrecy surrounding child care cases was that for months, details of this case had been advertised on the internet by a private investigator, Liz Watson. Last Monday, at Doncaster’s behest, Wall decided to bring matters to a head. He ruled that the parties to the case could for once be named and that papers relating to it, including two earlier court judgments, should in due course be published. He then sentenced Miss Watson to nine months in prison for breach of secrecy rules.

Relying on the findings of the two lower courts, Wall stated that Miss Haigh had coached her daughter into making lengthy statements to the police and social workers that she had been abused by her father. There is obviously much about this case that still cannot be reported, but at least Wall’s ruling will give the public a chance to decide whether the assessment of the evidence by the earlier judges seemed persuasive.They will also be able to judge whether Wall was right to state that there was not “a scintllla of evidence” to support the arguments which the lower courts rejected.

Wall has something of a track record in making such unqualified statements. In 2008, in another case, he was complained about to the judicial ombudsman by John Hemming MP, after he had witheringly dismissed Hemming’s arguments that a crucial document in the case was forged. “I find it not only unacceptable but shocking,” Wall ruled, “that a man in Mr Hemming’s position should feel able to make so serious an allegation without any evidence to support it. In my judgment it is irresponsible and an abuse of his position.”

Mr Hemming presented the ombudsman with several pages of transcript showing how he had produced lengthy evidence for his claim, set out in meticulous detail. Rather than stating that he had not had “any evidence”, it would have been more accurate for Wall simply to state that, having considered it, he had not found the evidence convincing.

I too recently felt the lash of Wall’s tongue, when he rushed to endorse the criticisms of me by a family judge for the “inaccuracy” of my reporting on another unhappy family case. Wall was so eager to defend the system over which he presides that he seemed unaware of the fact that the judge who criticised me had been forced to come back the following day to correct three errors in the two points he had made about me.

When judges have such power to make their own rules about what can and cannot be reported, it places a special responsibility on them to be rather more measured in their language than they sometimes allow themselves to be.

UK London Riots: Let’s Not Forget What Started This Mess

Let’s not forget why the people started this uprising in the beginning… British Police men shot and killed a loving father of four for no reason or just cause.

Mark Duggan’s murder at the hands of British Police sparked the protests…  The sixteen year old girl who was ruthlessly beaten by a Police man, a grown man, with a truncheon, escalated the protests into riots.  The Police declared war, so the people started to riot.

This is not just about “mindless thuggery and violence” as the propaganda mill would have us believe…

Do I have to say it again for those who don’t understand why these riots began?  British Police men shot and killed an innocent father of four for no good reason and without just cause.
