Mother flees abroad with her son to escape social workers
Social workers have been accused of trying to seize a six-year-old boy from his mother despite having no evidence that she has ever harmed him.
The 33-year-old woman fled to Ireland with her son in a bid to prevent social services taking him back into care. The British authorities maintain the boy suffered "emotional harm" while witnessing his father's violent rages against the mother and needs to be placed with a foster family.
But his mother, who has separated from the father, says social workers have never argued that she posed a danger to him and therefore have no case against her.
Isn't it typical? When the Social Services should be getting involved like in Baby P's case, there is a marked absence. When they shouldn't get involved, save for restraining the father, they make their presence felt only causing more distress to the mother and the child!
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
