I feel your pain of a broken heart, when Santa Claus is on his way
The children that should be with you that the Social Services have led astray
Presents under the tree, sadness to much to bare
The love i send to you when you are in distress and despair
Remember you are not alone
I and the Lord are with you, just pick up the phone
Christmas is for Families, that Social Services have torn apart
My wish for you this festive season would be reunion and a brand…

Witnesses said he jumped into his Renault Clio and rammed it at a large plate glass window in the building in Milngavie, near Glasgow.
The car was a write-off and police were called to the scene by East Dunbartonshire Council staff.
One witness said: "The…

I applaud the Corporate Parents involved in the sacking of Jill Baker, Director of childrens Services in Salford.
Another child dies because of Local Authority incompetence.
Once again, Ofsted have failed this Local Authority, on such grounds that 5 children were possibly left at risk, because inspectors were unable to attain, via record,and documentation, that these children were not at risk of harm.
WARNING TO OTHER SO CALLED CHILD PROTECTORS FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES, OR…

"Alison - I have a friend that desperately needs your help. The social worker
involved is trying to turn her kids against her saying things like "You're
better off without her" etc. Her name is Irene Lloyd. I've highly recommended
yourself/PAIN, I'm hoping she'll get in touch. Please help her if you can. I
remember how it feels to be that alone and not know what you're doing or where
to turn next, or if what they're doing is right or wrong etc.
I can never…

The 13-year-old was earmarked for fostering due to concerns about his mother’s capacity to look after him and alleged neglect he suffered, London’s Civil Appeal Court was told.
In August 2006 a judge made a long-term fostering placement order.

Tonight at approximately 5.30pm two ladies knocked at my door and told me they were from Social Services and was my name ……. (asking Christian name only) I said yes and they asked to come in which I did and led them into the kitchen where myself and daughter were making a cake. I might add at this point that I was quite nervous at having Social Services in my house and know I should of asked for names etc and I probably would have eventually if the following had not…
