<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Baby Ps stepfather Steven Barker has had a poster of himself removed after he complained it damaged his reputation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">At this was the man jailed in May for causing or allowing the death of Baby Peter, you wonder what one that couldnt get any worse?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">This monster (how does that sit with your reputation MATE, A photo with the same words is attached to this story, try to stop me you Bastard)?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Grew up violently abusing small animals then moved on to defenceless children, including Baby P and the rape of a two year old girl.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">It is why animal rights group Peta used a picture of him in a poster with the words People who are violent towards animals rarely stop there.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">But Barkers lawyers demanded it was taken down because it was libellous, suggesting Barker murdered Baby P the courts couldnt agree which of Baby Ps three torturers finally killed him.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">It is beyond belief this sicko, who destroyed the lives of two small children, has the arrogance to wave the human rights card. It just shows he is more worried about saving his own skin than demonstrating any remorse for his vile crimes. In Barkers case, a life sentence must absolutely mean LIFE.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">A pregnant young woman,whose wedding was halted by social workers in an extraordinary row over whether she is bright enough to marry, is to have her baby boy forcefully removed from her at birth.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Kerry Robertson, 17, who has mild learning difficulties, was this week told during a meeting with social workers they believe she is also not ëintelligent enoughí to look after her baby, due in January.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">She will be allowed just a few hours with her baby, whom she has already named Ben. But she and fiance Mark McDougall, 25, will not be allowed to leave the hospital with Ben and he will then be placed with foster parents. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">She said yesterday: &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t believe it when they told me I wouldnít be allowed to bring my baby home. I feel sick all the time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">&#8220;I am so upset I donít know what to do with myself. I know I am having a little boy and so I have already started buying baby clothes and am getting a nursery ready for him. But now I can&#8217;t take it in. I don&#8217;t want to think about January and I canít stop crying.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Last month Kerry, who is 26 weeks pregnant, was told her wedding was being halted just 48 hours before she was due to walk up the aisle because, according to social services, she &#8216;did not understand the implications of getting married&#8217;.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Her fiance Mark, an artist, added: &#8220;Seeing Kerry so upset is absolutely heartbreaking and I am very worried that all this stress she is under will affect our unborn baby&#8217;s health.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">&#8220;We&#8217;re just devastated by this and at the moment we just don&#8217;t know how we are going to cope in January. We have both already bonded with Ben and I can&#8217;t even begin to think what it will be like coming home without him.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The most senior family judge in England and Wales urged ministers not to rush ahead with controversial plans to allow greater media access to family court hearings. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Sir Mark Potter, President of the High Court Family Division, said that he was concerned about the haste involved with the latest plans from Jack Straw and warned that they may lead judges to exclude the press altogether. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Despite concerns already expressed by judges, lawyers and others over the plans, Mr Straw, the Justice Secretary, plans to include the changes in the Schools and Safeguarding Children Bill in the new session of Parliament. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The Justice Secretary has said that opening up family hearings in April to the media was being undermined by reporting restrictions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">He intends to allow the media acccess to confidential medical and social work reports, subject to anonymity provisions, in a move that would allow the media to name and shame social workers. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">But Sir Mark told a conference of family lawyers this week that even interim rules, pending the legislation, should not be rushed.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The head of Barnardo&#8217;s, Martin Narey, has called for more babies to be taken away at birth from parents who have &#8220;failed&#8221; with their previous children.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">It follows fresh concern over a generation of &#8220;feral&#8221; children in the wake of the case of the two boys aged 10 and 12 who battered, tortured and sexually abused two other children in Edlington near Doncaster. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The pair had come from a chaotic home where they were exposed to drink, drugs and violence from an early age and had a long history of involvement with police and social services.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">In the words of the father of one of their victims: &#8220;My kid plays with Lego&#8230; they play with knives.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Mr Narey, who as a former director general of the Prison Service knows the criminal justice system inside out, believes that some families simply cant be fixed and wants the authorities to move in earlier to give children a chance of a better life. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">He said that social services should not be afraid of taking children into care and ultimately sending them to new families. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">It sounds terrible, but I think we try too hard with birth parents,&#8221; he said. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">&#8220;If we really cared about the interests of the child, we would take children away as babies and put them into permanent adoptive families, where we know they will have the best possible outcome. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Ann Widdecombe, the former prisons minister, has praised Mr Narey as courageous. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">&#8220;We all know what we are talking about here, we are talking about families where there is a persistent pattern of failure,&#8221; she said. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">But others warned against &#8220;nanny state interference&#8221;.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/news/archive/2009/september/22/08.htm">http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/news/archive/2009/september/22/08.htm</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Britains child protection laws have created a spoilt generation with no respect for adults or authority, according to a prominent psychologist.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Dr Aric Sigman claims young people are growing up unprepared for the realities of adult life as parents, teachers and police have lost the power to discipline them. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">His new book cites as proof a leaflet left in courts asking visitors politely not to carry knives.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Dr Sigman who believes under-threes should be banned from watching television and fears that social networking websites such as Facebook may damage the health says the sense of entitlement now enjoyed by children is contributing to increased crime, obesity, underage pregnancy and binge-drinking on the countrys streets. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Ahead of the party conference season, he wants politicians to draw up laws that would curtail young peoples rights and reassert the authority of adults, as well as encouraging mothers to care for their babies at home and introducing compulsory civic service. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Dr Sigman, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, said: Authority is a basic health requirement in children&#8217;s lives. But, while children have become increasingly &#8216;empowered&#8217; in terms of legislation and rights, far from being protected, they are actually suffering in ways that could never have been foreseen. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Children of the spoilt generation are used to having their demands met by their parents and others in authority, and that in turn makes them unprepared for the realities of adult life - this has consequences in every area of society, from the classroom to the workplace, the streets to the criminal courts and rehabilitation clinics. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">There is now an urgent moral and legal imperative incumbent upon legislators to help restore authority to children&#8217;s lives. Adults must be legally empowered to deal with both their own and other people&#8217;s children without the fear that they may be confronted or prosecuted for doing so.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">CALLS are growing for a public inquiry into Haringey Council&#8217;s social services department, in the wake of revelations a child was placed in foster care with relatives of a Muslim terrorist. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Lynne Featherstone, MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, reacted with horror to the disclosure, and demanded answers from council chiefs. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">She said: We need answers now to ensure that no other child has, or will, be in danger when they are placed in care. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">After the awful tragedy of Baby Peter and the clear failures made by Haringey Council, these new revelations show further evidence of the need for a root and branch review of Haringey Councils childrens services that only a Public Inquiry can provide. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The council is under pressure after it was revealed a child was place into foster care with relatives of Abdullah Ahmed Ali, one of three men convicted of conspiracy to murder for planning to kill thousands by blowing up planes using liquid bombs disguised as soft drinks cans. </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Too many social workers&#8217; careers have crumbled after they raised concerns</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">In social work at present it never rains but it pours. At a time of continuing public scrutiny, the last thing the sector needs is to be told that nearly half of those frontline social workers who plucked up courage to blow the whistle about poor practice or workplace problems subsequently reported that their employer failed to tackle the issues raised.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The findings, in a survey of more than 500 social workers by the General Social Care Council, confirms what many staff already know. Too often raising concerns at work, never mind blowing the whistle, is a bad career move.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">However, 45% worried that their employer would not take action if they raised concerns about a colleague, and nearly half of those who had reported problems about colleagues or &#8220;operational difficulties&#8221; said their employer had taken no action.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The GSCC has had bad press recently, but the publication of this survey ought to earn it a few bonus marks, not least the GSCC&#8217;s acceptance that victimisation and career damage were the most common fears of those who said they would not speak up.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Unfortunately this is nothing new. There is a long roll call of those social workers whose careers nosedived after raising concerns, most recently Nevres Kemal whose whistleblowing in Haringey was ignored and led to her unfair dismissal when it ought to have set alarm bells ringing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The survey results were published on the day that the Unison convenor in Doncaster who has been repeatedly critical of the culture within the council was suspended immediately after speaking out about what he alleged were budgetary pressures distorting professional decisions in child protection.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The failure of staff to whistleblow in the NHS cost dozens of lives at Mid Staffs and Maidstone hospitals in recent years. In social care, the costs are less obvious but no less disastrous. Although social workers and their managers are required as a condition of continued registration to highlight concerns and speak up for those they work with, the inexorable pressure on resources, excessive caseloads and inappropriate delegation of work are a potentially lethal cocktail.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The pressures go to the top. I have spoken to a number of very senior managers who have expressed their concerns at the consequences of questioning budgets and unsafe or unethical resource led decisions. One told me &#8220;you can spell out the consequences of inadequate budgets but if you keep waving shrouds, you&#8217;ll eventually have a P45 waved back at you&#8221;. Their reluctance to speak out is despite the fact that they would automatically have statutory protection as whistleblowers should they suffer detriment as a result.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Bonnie Lewis Kidnapped by the State</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Investigation into the scandalous abuse of a young girl by the Neath Port Talbot State Child</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Protection Machinery.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">As Social Services get power to section parents as mentally ill - why every parent in Britain should</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">be fighting for the safety of their children and Child Courts that are open to the full Public scrutiny.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Sick, in constant pain, and frightened after months of medical incompetence, 12 year old Bonnie</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Lewis was deliberately and deceitfully taken from her mother by Port Talbot Social Services. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Their aim? Probably to meet government fostering and adoption targets, which reward Councils.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">And to help the NHS cover up medical blunders.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">This true story is a wake-up call to every parent in UK. Every child is now at risk of kidnapping </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">by the State, as Social Services can manipulate the law with impunity. Recent new</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">draconian laws also give social workers powers to section parents who fight back as being</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">mentally ill. They can then be incarcerated indefinitely. Welcome to the Blair - Brown created </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">UK soviet. Secret and corrupt courts, mental institutions and collusion between public authorities, </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">NHS and police. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">In our June edition we printed the harrowing story of a very sick young girl called Bonnie. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Kidnapped at gunpoint by police in Florida, the US authorities had in fact been duped&#8217; by a</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">conspiracy of lies concocted by Neath Port Talbot Social Services, Bonnie&#8217;s loving mother and </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">grandfather looked on totally helpless as their daughter was taken into care in UK. She never </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">lived with them again. SS officials used falsified evidence, unlawful passports, and operated in a</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">deceitful collusion with Hospitals, Courts, Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office and MPs. Local</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">police assisted the process. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Devious Social Services staff duped US Social Services into believing that Bonnie had been</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">diagnosed as suffering from Maunchausen by Proxy, and they submitted a pick up order to </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">the US authorities, before flying to Florida to kidnap Bonnie.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Even Judge Evans, stated in his had made saying that the child should not be removed from the</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">jurisdiction was in fact made the day after the child had in fact left the jurisdiction. He added..</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and I wanted to make it abundantly clear [to the US Authorities] that I said as far as I was concerned</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">firstly the child had already left when I made that order so it didnt seem to me that there</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">was any breach of that order. The judge also indicated that he only had information supplied</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">by Ms Rzezniczek.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The Judges words clearly indicate that Mrs Lewis and her father had not breached any order </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">in taking Bonnie to the USA. In that case the question has to be asked - on what authority </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">did Neath Port Talbot SS and Ms Rzezniczek obtain a passport for Bonnie, and under what </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">authority did they then take Bonnie from her mother in the USA. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Mrs Rzezniczek Head of Neath Port Talbot Children and Young People Services. Her </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">responsibilities include leading on child protection, looked after children, fostering and adoption. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Working towards closer relationships with schools and health agencies to deliver a more integrated </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">service for children and families. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">This action, taken without proper legal authority, mirrors the recent admission that Birmingham </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Social Services sent five children to the Jersey childrens care home without the necessary </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">court orders. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">After personal investigation, Neath Port Talbot Cllr Davies was prepared to write in a personal </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">statement dated 2002&#8230;. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">I believe that we [Neath Port Talbot Borough Council] were not entitled to go there </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">(USA), we relied on Orders that were invalid and there is a possibility that we may have </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">misled the Courts when those original orders were made. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">These are very serious allegations by Cllr Davies, but what action he took inside the Council </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">is unclear. Allegedly he was threatened. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The kidnap followed major medical mistakes and incompetence in South Wales hospitals. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Passed from one hospital to the next, with no diagnosis or treatment, the desperate mother </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">eventually sought help from Social Services. This was a huge mistake, which was ultimately </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">to result in Bonnies kidnap by the SS. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Yet from the time that she was taken by Social Services, Bonnie remained in pain. The same </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">pain for which her mother and grandfather had worked tirelessly to obtain a proper diagnosis </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and treatment. What parent wouldnt? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The mothers reward for her justifiable parental concern was to be branded mentally unwell </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and to have her child taken by the State. In doing so, SS officials callously brushed off the </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">daughters terror at the kidnap in Florida. Then an ordinary social worker, Julie Rzezniczek </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">described Bonnies trauma at being forcibly taken from her family as being&#8230;.Tearful.. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">In the subsequent Contract for Contact, Social Services deliberately and specifically prevented </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">any discussion between Mrs Lewis and her daughter concerning Bonnies health, illness </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">or pain. Letters from Bonnie all had to be given to Ms Rzezniczek before they were passed on. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Denied free speech, Bonnie did manage to smuggle out harrowing letters detailing her pain </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and longing to come home. None of these were taken into account by Social Services or the </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Courts. Blocked behind a Barnados guardian, this little girl was no longer permitted to show </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">love for her family, or express her feelings. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Bonnie has still not been re-united with her mother. Now adult, she remains held and apparently </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">controlled in a strange world of Social Services contacts, who have aggressively blocked </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">attempts by the family to see their daughter. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">At the age of 16 Bonnie met her Grandfather in the street. This was the man she had loved </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and thought the world of. As he greeted her, she shrank back, and warned him&#8230;.Granddad, dont </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">come near me. Theyll know. Theyll know. You mustn&#8217;t. Sensing his granddaughter&#8217;s distress, </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and fearful for her, he walked on. Programmed and controlled by Neath Port Talbot SS, Bonnie </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">was now lost in a psychological prison called British child protection. Her strange </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">was, and still is, totally contrary to the loving letters which she smuggled to her family. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Just what did the SS do to this childs mind? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The June UK Column story produced instant response from the general public. Telephone </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">calls from parents reporting yet more SS child snatch cases, further information on the Bonnie </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">case (including allegations of threats by police officers), calls and letters of support for </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">the work of the paper, demands by Port Talbot Council that they did not want more copies of </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">the Column. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">A few members of the public couldnt believe that the story was true. And this is a critical </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">point. Not only is Bonnies story true, but the facts of the case are mirrored in thousands of </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">other cases of child stealing by the state that have occurred in UK over the last 30 years. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Something evil is at work in Great Britain, and it is targeting our children. Just consider </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">the revelation that Birmingham Social services sent children to Jersey, and now has no record </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">of them. Most worryingly this is an evil backed and supported by top level government ministers </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">using secret family courts. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The UK Column promised to continue to help the Lewis family expose the truth. We are </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">therefore publishing excerpts and quoting from the official documents and letters concerning </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">the case. Painstakingly obtained by the family, these have all been duplicated for safekeeping. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">It is this evidence which must be brought into the light, if our children are to be safely brought </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">up by their loving families, and not by an increasingly domineering and prescriptive state </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">machinery. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The original charges made by the UK Column against Neath Port Talbot Social Services </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">and local hospitals included: </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Failure to diagnose a serious illness. Removal of a healthy appendix by Neath Hospital </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">with no license to operate. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Cover-up of the severe post operative abscess. Excessive prescription of drugs, some not approved </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">for use on children. Negligent prescription of oral morphine. Incorrect discharge and prescription </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">forms. Confused and incompetent hospital referrals, examination and treatment. False denial of </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Bonnies pain by Doctors and Social Workers, in </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Instead of supporting Mrs Lewis to obtain proper treatment for Bonnie, evidence shows </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">a number of doctors conspired with Neath Port Talbot Social Services to silence the mother by </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">branding her mentally ill / unstable and taking Bonnie into care. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Not happy with destroying the family, Social Services then failed to treat Bonnie and left her </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">in pain and isolated from her family . </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Bonnies smuggled letters (actual handwritten letters opposite page), show her trauma and </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">ongoing pain at the hand of cold callous Social Services minders. The following letters are in</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">her own words. March 19th 1998 &#8230;they are the only things two things that I want is to be out of </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">pain and back home with you all.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">June 1998 she says (in her own words): I love my Nan and Granddad and my pain if </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">I say it to my Mum they will stop contact never see you again. Julie Rzezniczek and the Guardian</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">have told me I am never coming home. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">September 1999&#8230;.Please please help me I miss you all so mum. I hate living with Julie. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">I just want to be home and I am still in the same pain.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">A judge has condemned the &#8220;disgraceful&#8221; conduct of social workers over an adoption case, says Christopher Booker.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The revealing of the names of those responsible for the killing of Baby P reminded us yet again of the failure of Haringey social workers to avert the child&#8217;s death. What a shocking contrast this provides to the behaviour of East Sussex social workers in the case I reported a month ago, which led to their seizure and putting out for adoption of a girl, now seven years old, from a respectable middle-class home, to the anguish of both her parents and the little girl herself. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The chief reason offered by the social workers for abducting the girl two years ago was that her home had been left in an appalling mess after a raid by RSPCA officials and 18 policemen. They ransacked the premises looking for non-existent guns, and released into the house a pack of dogs kept in kennels outside by her father, a professional dog-breeder. The parents were arrested for protesting at what was happening (the mother suffering a miscarriage while in police custody) and the social workers were summoned to remove their daughter.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Everything about this case is bizarre, not least the apparent complicity of social workers, lawyers and the courts in determining that the child should not be returned to her parents, as she wishes, but rather, after two years in foster care, sent for adoption. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">I have now been able to read through many papers relating to the case, including the judgments resulting from the 74 hearings in which the parents attempted to get their daughter back. What stands out is the startling contrast between the two totally different versions of the case given by the social workers and the courts on one hand and, on the other, that presented by the parents themselves and by many who knew them. The latter include their GP, who recently wrote that he had never &#8220;encountered such a case of appalling injustice&#8221;. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The most impressive document was a report by an independent social worker, based on many interviews with those involved, including the child herself and the chief social worker in charge of her. In measured terms, this made mincemeat of the council&#8217;s case. Nothing about it is more suspicious than the contrast between descriptions of the &#8220;clean and tidy&#8221; home reported by those who knew the family well and the mess allegedly found by the policemen who burst into it mob-handed on the day in question. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">The report found an equally glaring contrast between the social workers&#8217; insistence that the child was quite happy to have been removed from her parents, and the abundant evidence, observed at first-hand, that the little girl had an extremely good relationship with her parents and wants nothing more than to be reunited with them. The courts seem to have totally ignored this report, whose author last month expressed astonishment that the child had not been returned home. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">What has also come to light is a remarkable judgment by Lord Justice Thorpe and Lord Justice Wall in the Appeal Court last year, in another case which also involved the apparently ruthless determination of East Sussex social workers to send a child for adoption. The judges were fiercely critical. The social workers&#8217; conduct, said Lord Justice Thorpe, could only reinforce the suspicions of those who believe &#8220;councils have a secret agenda to establish a high score of children they have placed for adoption&#8221;.</span></p>
