Being the editor, writer or programmer of a web site like this has it's follies.  Reading the other pages, you will quickly understand that we have been, and will be the target of much legal wrangling. But we
accept this on the understanding that it is bound to happen, due to the  ".......  

nature of our content.  What we weren't prepared for is the constant flow of stories from decent, upstanding people who have been caught in the spiders web of dealing with the SS.  When this story came to us we amazed at the lucidity with which it was told, and saddened that

We are all for protecting children, but Social Services are destroying innocent families

 

the machinery of the SS could so infiltrate this families lives, and

                                 ......"  

have such a destructive effect on them.  It is hard not to feel for this family.  It is hard not to be outraged by the monstrous behaviour of the SS involved in this case.  Again, we see lies, deceit, cover up and no way of addressing the wrong-doing.........until now !!

This is the letter sent to us, it is unedited.  Our comments follow

Dear Sir or Madam:

The Social Services System we have in the UK for the protection of children is a deadly combination of incompetence, indifference, intolerance, deceit and lies.  This system is, in its present form, one of the most destructive man-made forces Britain has ever known and is a major threat to family life, discipline and all that we hold dear to our hearts.

History has shown, time and time again, that once the British public is made aware of a pending disaster, it acts to protect itself.  I therefore, call upon everybody who has the means to communicate (journalists, writers, church leaders, lecturers and public speakers, etc., etc,) to make a SPECIAL EFFORT to tell the people what damage is being caused by the Government and if it is to continue, explain how that damage will cause the eventual destruction of civilised society as we once knew it.

Family Court Hearings are done in secret behind closed doors, no Newspapers allowed, and no support from family or friends of the parents involved.  In-fact the parents are under fret of imprisonment if they discuss the proceedings, or show any of the paperwork outside of the Secret Court System.  For as long as this remains the case, Social Services have the Power to Destroy any Family purely on the grounds of conflict of personalities.

Since our introduction to Lymington Social Services back in July 2000 we have had to endure Professional Misconduct, Unethical Behaviour, Hostility, Lies, Deceit, Discrimination, Insults, Accusations, Humiliation, Misrepresentation, Misinterpretation, False Allegations and shown nothing but a complete Disrespect for our Integrities thoughts and feelings!  Not to mention being Falsely Accused of Unspeakable Acts of Indecency with our Children!

Social Services take your children away, and then they go through every detail of your life in order to dig up something to justify them having taken the children.  They take innocent comments and petty things and turn them into something unbearable, all of which adds to them achieving their goal, which is to keep the children.

They know how the law works, they know what a Judge is going to want to hear, and they know what to say to Outside Professionals like Psychiatrists and other Professional people usually involved in these cases.  They Fabricate Evidence to their advantage to achieve this!  It’s amazing how many un-professional people like Play Group Assistants and the like, come out of the closet to take up sides against the parents, once they have been contacted by a Social Worker, sometimes this involves promotion as an incentive (e.g. Going from working in a Play Group, to working in a School).

It now appears to be standard practice for Social Services to accuse the Father of some Sexual Indiscretion.  This will result in a Police Investigation, and give Social Services more time to build up their case against the parents.

We are all for protecting children, but Social Services are destroying innocent families in order to get some Street Cred for the want of other words.  If you were out and about and someone insulted you out of the blue, then you would deal with the situation there and then.  However, you only have to say to a Social Worker that you are weary of their reputation, and within a week you will find your children gone, and you arrested.  Why should this be?

My wife is registered blind, and I am her registered carer.  Up until two years ago we had three beautiful daughters.  We asked our Health Visitor to put us into contact with a Behavioural Therapist to help solve a problem we were having with our middle child, and because I mentioned to this woman that I didn’t trust Social Services we lost out family!

Social Services are now putting our children up for adoption against are wishes.  They claim we neglected our children, but this was never the case.  Our Health Visitor and local GP Practice is 100% behind us in saying that there was never any neglect of the children in our house, and that if Social Services are saying that, they are doing so in order to justify themselves.  It was our GP suggestion that we write to the papers!

We have spoke to our local MP, and he has been on to the Ombudsman and the Director of Social Services.  The Ombudsman replied that it was in the hands of the court, and therefore there was nothing he could do, The MP said he was lied to by the Director of Social Services.  In the hands of the courts is something you hear regularly stated when up against the local authority! 

They have had both the wife and myself arrested for Cruelty, Neglect and Abandonment; the police dropped the charges after about three months.  This was three months though that Social Service felt justified in not working with us to return the children.  Again, later into the case, I was arrested again, along with some friends, this time on paedophile related charges.  They had already taken my computer away, and checked it over (and damaged it), and found nothing inappropriate.  Again, all charges were dropped about two months later!  Why is it, that after serious investigation the police can find no evidence to support these charges, the Social Services can carry on regardless?  I understand the need to investigate these things, but Social Services are using the Police; and dragging the reputation of the police down to their level!

Social Services claim they are thinking of the children, thinking of their own reputation more like!  They use the children as a weapon against the parents.  They try and turn the children against their family, especially the father.  As parents we are not allowed to talk about the case or what is going to happen to the children, and yet, Social Services do so openly, and then try and throw the blame of the children being to well informed onto the father of the children.

All the books and things that we have read on the internet say that Foster Parents should work closely with the parents in order to keep close family ties.  This is not the case for local authority employed Foster Carer’s; they work as spies for the Social Worker in the case.  They question the children when they return from a contact, and are forever listening out for anything that they feel would be of use to the Social Worker to use against the parents!  They also spoil the children rotten, regular trips to Mc Donald’s, and to the Fun Fair in order to impress on the children that they would be better off with different parents!

Foster carer’s work closely with the Social Worker in the case to set up little scenarios for contact situations, or for when the children are about to be interviewed by someone like the Guardian!  So the Guardian and other professionals can then say, “Oh, but the children told me so.”  We know this to be true, because the children have told us!

Social Services and The Guardian ad Litem claim they listen to the children, but in reality they only hear what they want to hear, and not what the children are trying to get over.  If the child is trying to express her wishes to come home it’s ignored, and then palmed off with excuses like, they don’t really understand, there not old enough to know what is going on!

We were told that the Guardian ad Litem was an independent, as were other professionals involved in the case.  However, anyone that has been on the receiving end of Social Services will tell you, they are not independent!  Social Services fabricate statements in order to give these so-called independents something to work with, usually to their favour, and not the family involved.  Of course, as with us, most parents believing that these people are independent, tend to open up a bit, little realising the information that these people have already been supplied with.  This inevitably ends up with the so-called independent taking the side of Social Services.  Who then, when you argue that they are not being fair, claim that it’s not their decision that it’s the Professional?  They then hide behind the Professional, once a Judge has made a decision in their favour, they hide behind the Judges decision and so on.  They start the ball rolling with their lies, then stand back and watch it cascade out of control, claiming their innocence.  This is the action of Cowards, not a Professional Body of People that are there supposedly to protect our children, were in actually fact, they are causing more damage to children than any one family could.

We were told we would have our day in court, in-fact nine and a half days; we spent the whole time defending ourselves against the false allegations that they were throwing at us.  The Judge kept falling asleep during the proceedings, probably due to her being well over retirement age.  Social Services were claiming that they had worked with us, by this they meant they had offered home help, we queried what it was, and this was taken as a refusal on our part! 

It was said in court by the local authorities Barrister that it was never the intention of Social Services to not return these children to their rightful place with their family!  I replied to this by saying where in all the paperwork that has been generated by Social Services does it say that, because it doesn’t.  Any person outside of this case that was to read for themselves the paperwork would clearly see that Social Services have not worked with us as a family, and have gone out of their way to look after their own interests, and not that of the family involved.

Our children are now living with potential adoptive parents, the next time we hear from Social Services will be when they take us to court for a Freeing Order.  With the right kind of help, this could be averted; we could get our children back and get on with our lives. 

This will only happen though, if Social Services are exposed for what they are doing to innocent families, and the way they are doing it!  We all hear about the horror stories were Social Services haven’t been doing their job properly, and it’s a hard job, I wouldn’t envy it.  However, there are Social Workers out there, that are abusing the system for their own needs, this has to stop.  The Social Worker in our case told the children’s Grandmother that Social Workers were like Gods, they have all the power, and there is nothing you can do about it!

I am aware that it is an offence to show any Care Proceeding Paperwork to anyone not Directly Involved in the case, however; If I have to spend a period of time at Her Majesty Pleasure in order to get attention drawn to our case, and many others like it, Then So Be It!

This is happening to families all across the Uk!  There are Fathers locked up in prison even now, due to false allegations by Social Workers!  When’s it going to stop?  We want our family back as it was, and we need help for that to happen, do you have what it takes to make a stand against these bureaucrats, or are you going to be as guilty as them for protecting yourselves, because it will all come out somewhere along the lines, it’s happening to often!

Before I go, I remember making a remark to the MP that somebody somewhere along the line is going to loose control and act out of desperation and end up killing a Social Worker, probably to go on to be Great Britain’s first Serial Killer to specifically target Social Workers.  How far was I from the truth, when only the other day it was in the news about a woman who put a gun to her Social Workers Head!

Yep, the SS is the Grim Reaper of family life in this country.  The writer of this article is clearly intelligent and articulates their story well.  Indeed, we did not edit it at all, feeling that you, the reader, should get an insight into the sorrow and frustration that this family is being subjected to at the hands of the Lymington SS.
