The powers to be are saying that Government austerity has nothing to do with the rise in Children caseloads for Children's Social Workers.

But i have already blogged about a case that PAIN was advising on.

The Father had lost his benefits, and could not afford to feed his Child, the Boys Mother had died 3 years earlier due to cancer.

The LA, would not give the Father any money to support them staying together, but very happy to use the more expensive option.

The Child is now on a long term full care order.

RESULT THE FATHER COMMITTED SUICIDE, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE FATHER DID NOT USE A FOOD BANK.
