In many cases children are being removed from Parents by Social Services,with very little evidence given to support such drastic action.
Under the Public Law Guidelines Local Authority's have a mandatory duty to consider using the Kincare clause, by placing children with immediate Family members ,such as Grandparents, before using foster carers,a big saving to the taxpayer and less emotional distress to the children.
One Local Authority recently dropped 200 cases to concentrate their efforts on safeguarding vulnerable children,the question is should of these cases been instigated in the first place? costing thousands at the taxpayers expense.
With the rise in care proceedings, comes the meltdown and the large waiting list for Guardians to be appointed to the court arena, this waiting list exceeded six months,at one time,once more, possibly leaving children at risk, or the other scenario, parents and children being apart for a longer timescale, both options being totally unacceptable.
The opinions of the so called expert witnesses in care proceedings is a cause for concern,one Pediatrician diagnosed a Mother with MSBP, without ever seeing her ,or the children involved, this so called professional was not adequately qualified to make such an assumption, but children are being forcibly adopted by this kind of system of family court secrecy.THE LEGACY OF FORCED ADOPTION IS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS WITHIN THE UK AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES.

Value-adoption.
