An offer has been made by the defendants which has been 'on the table' for quite some period of time for the sum of £1500. How little monetary value is placed on the destruction of a family? I wonder if this is reasonable in the circumstances? I have until tomorrow to decide, however there has never been a contest between the truth and money.....One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-68274919368009174332012-05-20T21:18:00.001+01:002012-05-20T21:18:46.581+01:00Still going, 4years later....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted you home but the decision had been made,<br />
You were twelve when they took you,<br />
You were kidnapped by the States.<br />
A part of me has gone with you, it can never be replaced,<br />
If I saw you tomorrow would I even know your face?<br />
<br />
At some point in the future you will know the truth,<br />
Of how we fought for you throughout your youth<br />
The tears we have shed, the ups and downs<br />
They made a mistake and you paid the price<br />
I have a few things left of you, kept in my heart<br />
You were torn from your family we shouldn't be apartOne Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-35202082827196952822011-10-01T00:03:00.000+01:002011-10-01T00:03:07.971+01:00Very Brief Update....There is a lot going on behind the scenes, I will one day be listened to. I thought I would like to share with you quotes from each of my last two Appeal Court hearings and then ask a question that perhaps you could help answer.....<br />
<br />
<br />
Quote one "He (my husband) is an innocent man"<br />
<br />
Quote two "It has never been implied that you have done anything wrong" (referring to me)<br />
<br />
<br />
These two quotes are from Appeal Court Judge's, one as recently as last week.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now the question is "Why did Social Services kidnap my sons?"One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-91811958884206681862011-04-30T02:07:00.000+01:002011-04-30T02:07:53.715+01:00I know it has been some time.....For those of you who may follow this blog who may have hoped I have faded into the background and gone away, I haven't. I am still there and fighting for justice, which will be mine one day, whether it takes just a few months or years makes no difference to me as I have all the time in the world. For those who have wronged me, their day will come as karma does have a funny way of catching up with people.<br />
<br />
At present I have two legal actions ongoing, I have a third that I am in the process of compiling, then I anticipate at least another two. I have neglected updating my blog, but in some ways have had little to say as I don't want to give anyone an unfair advantage! I will always be available for anyone who is experiencing any problems with Social Services and can be contacted through the comments section, putting not for publication if you wish your message to be private and confidential. Earlier I was looking through such messages that I have received since the beginning of this blog and you would be shocked by some of the content.<br />
<br />
On Mother's day the 3rd April 2011, it was the 3rd Anniversary of the kidnapping of my children. Still here, with not one person accountable for their illegal family destroying actions.<br />
<br />
Here is the perfect definition of a Jersey Social Worker:<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1 style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">Vigilante</h1><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">(n). A Vigilantee is an unauthorized person who conduct a trial on the accused persons with or without collecting evidences or ascertaining the truth and confer punishment to the accused considering the depth of crime involved. A Vigilantee is not legally authorized person to do such trials and order punishments. They get the authority from social status, knowledge, wealth, reputation, physical power etc.</div>One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-9240941919132442422010-11-07T00:31:00.000+00:002010-11-07T00:31:43.706+00:00A New Website....<span>I would like to introduce a new website and also congratulate its' creator, a person with courage and determination who wants to see change and help bring in the changes. </span><br />
<br />
<span> Copied from the main page:</span><br />
<br />
<span>"This website has been set up with the intention of assisting those families and individuals who have been abused, deceived and harmed by the operation of the Social Services, and particularly the Children's Service, in the island of Jersey. From what I have read, seen and heard, the methods used by the States of Jersey Children's Service ape those used in mainland Britain with the same disastrous consequences. <br />
<br />
One problem that each family or individual who is subjected to abuse by the Children's Service has is that they have no idea just how common this process is and this makes it far easier for the States to ignore each injustice in turn. I am asking for a show of hands and I hope that this will lead to a formation of a local group or formal association. <br />
<br />
Current areas of concern:<br />
Where the staff of any of the services have acted beyond the boundaries of the law.<br />
Where the staff have not kept to their own published procedures.<br />
Where the staff have lied.<br />
Where the staff have operated with bias.<br />
Where the staff have acted with incompetence."</span><br />

The Privy Council has turned down permission to appeal - so I have come up with one more path of redress before the ECHR. I will be a bit sneaky and keep my plan to myself but be assured I will enjoy it! Do I expect to win? Well for now no, but I will eventually, for every knockback it just makes my case stronger.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know there are many others who have suffered at the hands of the Jersey SS. Now is the time to take action. In England there is a class action being brought before the ECHR, which is very interesting for us to follow. Please if you know of anyone or have yourself been a victim of the procedures (or in fact their inability to follow procedure) and heartlessness of the SS in Jersey please contact me via the comments section. If you put 'not for publication' I will not publish your details and will contact you privately. I will keep all correspondence confidential.<br />

Below I reproduce a section from a letter I received yesterday:<br />
<br />
<br />
"Dear Mrs .........<br />
<br />
I am writing to advise you that I have recently received information that on the 22nd March 2010, (name removed) was involved in a fight at school with another young person. The police have been involved and (name removed) was Charged on the 29th March with Grave and Criminal Assault and is due to appear in Youth Court. (Date to be advised)<br />
<br />
<br />
I would also like to inform you that due to (name removed)'s behaviour and recent suspensions from (school removed), he is due to transition to d'Hautree House School on 21st April. If (name removed) is able to work hard and improve his behaviour within school, this will allow him the opportunity to work towards attending a mainstream school in the future."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As you see by the above extract he really is flourishing, fantastic job you must get the award of Child Carer's of the Year.<br />

2 years which have seen the destruction of the relationships of brothers and sisters, of a family.<br />
<br />
I hope they can sleep at night.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-66995081397155512192010-03-29T22:22:00.002+01:002010-03-29T23:06:54.860+01:00A Brief Recap of Our Last Two Years.....All that I post below is facts, all of which I have the evidence for.... I may omit some facts as there are just too many for a brief recap!<br /><br /><br />3rd April 2008 onwards....<br /><br /><br />My 12 year old son said he had been kicked in the head by my husband.<br /><br />School counselor wrote on the referral form that we had had a child protection referral before - we had not - it was the people who they placed my son with.<br /><br />My husband was arrested for allegation of kicking a child in head.<br /><br />Sometime before 10am the following day, police and social workers knew this to be a false allegation.<br /><br />Two children were removed from my care with no emergency protection order - therefore the social services acted illegally.<br /><br />They did not return my children in the legally stipulated time of 72 hours in the absence of a Court Order.<br /><br />Instead of admitting there was a false allegation they mounted a campaign to try to get my husband plead guilty to an assault that did not happen.<br /><br />My husband pleaded not guilty despite often being told you will be found guilty by his defence lawyer.<br /><br />He was found guilty.<br /><br />The policeman who transcribed my husband's interview got it wrong - a fact so wrong that it overturned his conviction.<br /><br />They have imposed a care order on the grounds of the conviction.<br /><br />I appealed the care order, however it now seems that they plucked my son out of thin air and popped a care order on him as a result of no incident taking place. An interesting scenario this is and one that is worth a further challenge.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now as these years are ticking by they have sent my son's behaviour downhill, that is saying it politely, they have not acted in his best interests - just trying desparately to cover up their mistakes.<br /><br /><br />Last week after the hearing I was approached by Miss Purgery who at a previous hearing told the Court we were all moving to Australia (perhaps wishful thinking in her behalf) and said we must work together to get him home - after telling the court I was putting him at risk of emotional harm? I said I will work with you 100% once you acknowledge that no assault took place. She said we can't do that - I said well I know that otherwise you would have to admit you are wrong.<br /><br /><br />Their plan is obvious to most earthworms even - they want to slip him back home drop the care order and make it appear like it is all rosy in the garden again, and I will go away.<br /><br /><br />Today as it stands they are responsible for the destruction of another child's life rather than be held accountable for their devastating mistakes, lack of communication, incompetence and outright lies.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-1514310619658811392010-03-24T00:29:00.002+00:002010-03-24T00:45:31.486+00:00In the words of my 3 year old - 'Big Girls Never Give Up'Each stage we get a little closer to getting the truth out in the open.<br /><br />Still the care order remains, but now by a thread instead of a rope. I intend to cut that thread one day. The appeal was good in lots of ways that I can't explain at this moment in time.<br /><br />Without giving too much away the reason for the care order still standing is that he MAY suffer emotional harm - just like I MAY get run over by a bus (probably driven by an out of work social worker).<br /><br />As big girls never give up, I am preparing my next appeal on this decision which will go to the Privy Council in London. I think it was their last ditched attempt to shut me up. The lawyer behind me with a fondness for yellow shoes, said at the end 'well that's finished', as she shut her files. Well actually no it isn't.<br /><br />As the saying goes it isn't over till the fat lady sings - well I'm not even humming yet.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-75134970175523809682010-03-21T01:42:00.002+00:002010-03-21T02:05:50.644+00:00Very Appealing!This will be a short post almost two years to the day Social Services kidnapped my son. Anyone who has followed this blog will know our story, and will know we appealed the conviction against my husband and won. Next week will bring my appeal against the care order imposed on my son, which is now as a result of a lawful punishment for my son's behaviour. Imagine having a child taken from you for grounding them and being told they are at risk of significant harm.<br /><br />These two years have seen the destruction of my child's education, after numerous suspensions he has now been expelled. They have not only destroyed our family but my son who they are supposed to protect. Shame on them. They have my utter disrespect. Any child in their care is at risk from the incompetence and negligence of these so-called professionals.<br /><br />If I win, what have I won? I have been told that 'if you get him back he's not the child you once knew' (from a professional referring to his downward spiraling behaviour). There's a old saying that the social services should have taken note of two years ago 'Mother knows best'. No-one knows my son like I do, they should have listened to me.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-50360960133802376842010-01-23T23:11:00.002+00:002010-01-23T23:28:20.782+00:00If You Tolerate This Your Children Could Be NextWe are the Social Services<br />We will screw up your kids alright<br />We've got to keep them in the system<br />We need them there for life.<br /><br /><br />We don't want happy families<br />What we want is for you to fight<br />Not us you see, amongst yourselves<br />So our case is watertight.<br /><br /><br />It's not just us you keep in a job<br />Just think about all the services<br />That without your kids would collapse<br />From child psychologists to prison services.<br /><br /><br />So if you're in a quandry<br />You just don't know what to do<br />Don't approach the Social Services<br />Or your kids will soon go too.<br /><br /><br />We may moan about our workload<br />But really it is a front<br />We have targets to reach<br />So excuse us if we're blunt.<br /><br /><br />Few of us care about our job<br />Or the kids that are involved<br />But since the beginning of abortions<br />This forced adoption racket evolved.<br /><br /><br />We have all these childless couples<br />That we're sure are better than you<br />So we'll pass your kids on to them<br />Then go on to family number two.........<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Written by: One Day!One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-64257479678652626632010-01-06T22:17:00.002+00:002010-01-06T22:33:30.752+00:00Does the JEP print all letters to the editor?<p style="text-align: right;" class="ecxMsoNormal" align="right"><span style="font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: right;" class="ecxMsoNormal" align="right"><span style="font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB">This is a letter that has been forwarded to me, I have removed the sender's name and address although I have it and had they printed this letter, it would have also been printed.

I felt I had no alternative, I was not being listened to whatever avenue I chose to persue. Basically all State's employees told me if I had a problem, to have it addressed legally. This piece of advice was no doubt given as we did not have the funds to pay a proper advocate and we would have to turn to legal aid, where for the sake of their easy paycheques they do no work on your behalf and you pay in reality for them to aid your opposition.<br /><br /><br />Well actually I now would like to thank them for that advice, as we spent since July preparing my husbands criminal appeal against sentence and conviction on the main ground of the error in the transripts of my husband's interview - I wrote a post about this in August.<br /><br /><br />I thought for the blog's anniversary I would have a good news theme........<br /><br /><br /><br />The appeal against my husband's conviction and sentence was granted and we won the case and the conviction has been quashed.<br /><br /><br /><br />So here's a interesting point for discussion - they kidnapped my son for nothing, they applied for the care order solely because of the conviction - there's no conviction - perhaps they would like to apply to discharge the care order..... Slowly but with determination we are proving we are right.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-13004670235599317682009-11-03T01:33:00.001+00:002009-11-03T23:26:13.012+00:00It's like playing a part in a film....<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qMa9Dhe8cY8/SvCV3Gxj98I/AAAAAAAAABY/YnuxeLsjQN0/s1600-h/laurel-and-hardy-dvd-3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399980727161059266" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qMa9Dhe8cY8/SvCV3Gxj98I/AAAAAAAAABY/YnuxeLsjQN0/s320/laurel-and-hardy-dvd-3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Mrs Hardy: Wheres the clock you bought?<br /><br />Stan: I don’t know.

I picked these up a few days ago, and have only looked at a couple of pages from the files so far. However I feel there is an important issue that people should be aware of.<br /><br /><br />Around 6 years ago, we contacted Social Services as my son who at the time was receiving speech therapy, and was not able to communicate fully with us about a large burn he had received on his wrist whilst in the care of another person. The relationship was such that we could not approach him directly to ask (he had only just started being allowed unsupervised visits by the Court after around a year of them) so we thought we would get in touch with 'professional people?' who could help investigate for us.<br /><br /><br />Well I was disgusted by what I read - there was a conversation recorded between a Social Worker where he told the Head Teacher of his primary school to listen out for what my son was saying about us - in other words - investigating us!!! We did not know anything about this until the other day, these records are something you have no control over and they seem to have a license to write whatever they want never letting the truth get in the way of a good story....<br /><br /><br />This is just a warning to those of you who may be thinking of approaching Social Services for help - do so with extreme caution - it could be turned onto you.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-16104450428652444712009-09-13T23:05:00.002+01:002009-09-13T23:20:45.667+01:00Gone for goodWell one full care order imposed.<br /><br />This was imposed as a result of the conviction against my husband. The conviction that was attained by one friendly DC policeman who managed to completely re-write his own version of events for a do not disclose case summary and also change what my husband told him in his interview in the transcripts - obviously he liked his own version better. One thing I wonder do they get a bonus for each conviction?<br /><br />With a bit of a battle and a long court case (well for me it was), I managed to get most of the other accusations against us quashed - apart from my most heinous crime to date in this mess - not agreeing with social services or working with them - since November last year.<br /><br /><br />I fail to see why I should work with people who refuse to acknowledge the truth of the situation. So in the words of a not missed social worker 'bring it all on' - I accept your challange and I will.<br /><br /><br />So it looks like a few more court appearances for social services et al., I will not give up and I may have lost a battle but they have not won the war.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-34814654670338271362009-08-08T00:51:00.002+01:002009-08-08T01:28:40.207+01:00'Where did you slap him?'In April last year this was the question that was put to my husband:<br /><br />'Where did you slap him?'<br /><br />Now, would you like to hear the actual answer my husband gave in the taped interview, or would you like to hear the version that was transcribed by this policeman? What is even more interesting is that the version that was transcribed by the policeman, was a material fact mentioned several times by the judge when she found him guilty in September 2008.<br /><br />Compare the below answers:<br /><br />My husband: 'mainly his elbows'<br /><br />Mr. Policeman: 'I moved his elbows'<br /><br /><br />You would be forgiven if you did not immediately spot the importance - we didn't until recently.<br /><br />Mind you we did rather stupidly assume the following:<br /><br /><ul><li>A policeman would not make errors. I'm not talking just this one error, there are in fact 4 in total. </li><li>The prosecution would check the evidence they offer to the Court.</li><li>Your defence lawyer would check the case against you and even find the time to listen to your taped interview and check it with the transcripts, seeing as we paid her £1200.00 out of fees of £24,000.00 (yes legal aid).</li></ul><p> </p><p>You see the version of Mr Incompetent Policeman, was just what they needed to find my husband guilty of 'child abuse' as it indicated a deliberate attempt to get to his head and deliver several blows to his head - as the judge stated. When all my husband had said was 'mainly his elbows'. Doesn't really have the same mental imagery does it?</p><p> </p><p>Of course on the face of it is unlikely that that any policeman, prosecutor and defence lawyer would collaborate together to simply ‘invent’ a scenario which would ensure that my husband was found guilty, to cover up the gross incompetence of 'come in no. 1 you're sacked' when she removed two of my children from my care on a false allegation (recently admitted in court). Some scenario involving confusion on their part or the mixing up of notes from two separate cases might explain matters..........</p>One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-18196824108520089132009-07-25T23:11:00.003+01:002009-07-26T00:45:22.990+01:00NSPCC in JerseyA short while ago the Jersey Evening Post reported about the high cost to the Island of bringing over Guardian's from the NSPCC in the UK. It reported that there was one case. There are currently 3 cases that I know of using the NSPCC. They are bringing over these people to act as Guardian Ad Litems. This is a term used for the representation of a child in Court Proceedings by a Guardian who then also has to have local council. They are there supposedly employed to act on the behalf of the child in their best interests. Their role is ended on the conclusion of proceedings. These Guardian Ad Litems are not to be confused with the role of a Guardian who has care and control of a child.<br /><br /><br />One question is why are we not using local staff to fulfill this position, we have social workers here, and that is the profession of these guardians. Why are we importing these people at great cost to the tax payer. I can total approximately 20 visits I know of, just how much does a visit cost?<br /><br /><br />I also want to know why we are using these Guardians who operate with knowledge of UK law and not Jersey Law, and are therefore not from the same jurisdiction. How can a person from England claim after a couple of hours with a child and maybe the odd phonecall, that they know what is in their best interests?<br /><br /><br />The Guardian we have had the pleasure of a brief aquaintance with has not conveyed my son's wishes. In fact I have a copy of email correspondence in which the person writing the email states that all the 'guardian' wants to do is discredit me in Court.<br /><br /><br />The function of a Guardian Ad Litem in many cases in simply a sham, a device used to prevent the Court hearing the true wishes of the child.<br /><br /><br />If you are ever unfortunate to be in the position that you wish your child to attend court in care proceedings, below is a draft letter you can use, it would be up to you if you decided to appeal when your request is turned down as the opposing parties will object to this:<br /><br /><em>DRAFT LETTER:</em><br /><br /><br />I wish my child to come to court to testify. Children suffer far more from a perhaps permanent separation from their families than from a few hours in court. Children who WANT to come to court to tell the truth will suffer far more from being forcibly prevented from doing this than from being allowed to do so. There cannot be a fair hearing if my principal witnesses are prevented from giving evidence, and therefore I shall appeal if this happens on the grounds that my human rights have been infringed.<br /><br /><br /><br />Convention on the Rights of the Child<br />Adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession by General Assembly resolution 44/25 of 20 November 1989<br />entry into force 2 September 1990, in accordance with article 49<br /> Article 12 of the United Nations convention on children's rights gives a parent the legal right to call their children in judicial proceedings as quoted below. <br /><br /><br />Article 12 (child's right to participate in decision making)<br />1. Parties shall assure to the child who is capable of forming his or her own views the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child, the views of the child being given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child.<br />2. For this purpose, the child shall in particular be provided the opportunity to be heard in any judicial and administrative proceedings affecting the child, either directly, or through a representative or an appropriate body, in a manner consistent with the procedural rules of national law.<br /><br /><br />Any claim that this clause is satisfied by the appointment of a "guardian" or "independent solicitor" to represent the children's views by stating in court an opinion diametrically opposed to that of the children concerned should be exposed; this is simply a device to keep the children's true opinions and desires from reaching the court and as such a clear breach of the spirit of the convention.<br /><br />In Mabon v. Mabon [2005] 2 FLR 1011, the Court of Appeal considered Rule 9.2A and the older line of authorities in the light of Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989, and Article 8 of the ECHR. The court acknowledged the greater appreciation and weight which must now be attached to the child’s autonomy and consequential right to participate fully in the decision-making process that fundamentally affects his life. It held that<br />"in the case of articulate teenagers…. the right to freedom of expression and participation outweighed the paternalistic judgment of welfare."[paragraph 28].<br />However, if direct participation would lead to a risk of harm that the child was incapable of comprehending, then a judge could find that sufficient understanding had not been demonstrated. Judges must equally be alive to the risk of emotional harm that might arise from denying the child knowledge of and participation in the continuing proceedings [para.29].One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-29670864024639270622009-07-08T00:30:00.000+01:002009-07-08T00:32:49.491+01:00Why exactly was my husband in court?<a href="http://www.thisisjersey.com/2009/06/25/historical-abuse-claims-some-unsuitable-for-court/">Historical abuse claims: ‘Some unsuitable for court’</a><br />By Diane Simon<br /><a href="http://www.thisisjersey.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/0540800_cropped.jpg"></a><br />Attorney-General William Bailhache<br />A SIGNIFICANT number of complaints in the historical child abuse inquiry were unsuitable for the criminal courts, the Attorney General has said.<br />Those complaints, which at some stage were said by the police to be more than 100, included those of being made to take cold showers, being clipped around the ear, slapped about the head and flicked with a wet towel.<br />Commenting in his annual review, William Bailhache – who will be sworn in as the new Deputy Bailiff later this year – has said that those type of complaints were far divorced from the public’s perception of the nature of this inquiry.<br />Mr Bailhache has also said that some of the disagreements about the inquiry which occurred last year between law officers and Crown lawyers and the senior police officers running the inquiry were probably a result of some of those police officers losing their objectivity and perhaps being unfortunately willing to believe theories not rooted in fact.<br />He stated that while there had been some complaints of serious offences committed, the historical child abuse investigation had covered an enormous amount of ground and possibly gone wider than first intended.<br />Article posted on 25th June, 2009 - 2.58pm<br /><br /><br />This is the shortened version of the interview.......One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-13108174037045551322009-07-03T22:02:00.002+01:002009-07-03T22:07:50.341+01:00Saturday 4th July 2009A PUBLIC PROTEST<br /><br /><br />SATURDAY 4TH JULY<br /><br /><br />12.00 NOON<br /><br /><br />PEOPLES PARK<br /><br /><br /><br />Please come along and show your support.<br /><br />At some point in all of our lives you have to stand up for what is right.<br /><br />Have courage and stand up for what you believe in.<br /><br />See you there!One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-8347556973658663622009-06-20T23:42:00.003+01:002009-06-22T00:23:25.327+01:00What's the Difference?In a email recently i asked a social worker if the department runs using double standards. Unfortunately this point was never actually directly answered but the content of the response to my email did reveal the answer inadvertently.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Spot the Difference!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />One email from me, asking them to investigate two assaults on a child, one by a social worker, one by an approved carer. The same child was involved in both cases and both allegations have similar 'proof', ie I had informed them of two incidents by email, in the same email. Now naturally you would assume that they would investigate the matter which may actually involve talking to the child but no here is their solution:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Case 1: Please can you fill in this complaints form?<br /><br /><br /><br />Case 2: Make a police complaint.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now I am sorry but there's no prizes for guessing, case 1 was indeed the social worker, clearly preventing any criminal charges being brought against them and protecting them from the law.<br /><br /><br />Now this highlighs the double standards that the department use, even if she did not answer the question directly.<br /><br /><br />Running a department in a manner that protects employees from criminal charges is plainly wrong, and yes I do have the correspondence to back up what I say!One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-40258396565790221042009-06-10T01:04:00.003+01:002009-06-10T01:34:57.037+01:00Just a few thoughts....I find it quite disusting that the AG has come to the decision of not prosecuting certain individuals for child abuse with many statements made against them, he managed to prosecute my husband on one inconsistent statement made against him, with my husband frankly making a statement of what happened. Or was that his mistake of not going 'no comment' or even more possibly an attempt to cover up the illegal actions of a States employee?<br /><br /><br />Two children were unlawfully removed from my care, one I was told because he was a witness. I said at the time he could not be a witness as he was in the bath at the time. I was disbelieved. I have just received an email stating I can not have access to what he said at the time as he did not witness anything!<br /><br /><br />It does make me wonder of just how much this is costing for these unnecessary so called professionals who are purely there not to establish truth but to work against you to prove some justification of their actions. It gets tough but I still have some hope that our family will be re-united. If you know of anyone having similar experiances please advise them carefully of giving consideration to representing themselves, you just have to ignore the tutting and sighs as you speak and tell the truth. Even with prison being offered as a punishment for non-compliance, you have to stand up for what you believe in.<br /><br /><br />I am toying with the idea of perhaps starting up a group (or perhaps a solo act) to help anyone who is having problems with the way the system works. I quite like the name FACT -Families Against Child Trauma. If you would have seen the results of what they did to my little boy the 'alledged' witness you would understand the name. I have a little notebook where he wrote how he would die without his brother.One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451513162151122253.post-32112772712031849182009-05-11T21:51:00.003+01:002009-05-11T22:25:19.632+01:00Justification?Lets go back to what this charade began with and it was my husband giving my son a couple of smacks with an open hand around the side of his head as a result of the unacceptable behaviour of my son. My son had racially abused a young girl, spat in her face and was hitting her and pulled her jacket away from her and threw it on some scaffolding.<br /><br />This type of punishment (a smack) is rarely used by us (and not something I personally condone), however in extreme circumstances it can prove to be the shock needed to curbe the offending behaviour and quite frankly my son's behaviour was offensive and illegal. The punishment he received must have served as a shock to my son (not really ever having a smack before) to go running around school the next day saying he had been beaten up.<br /><br />Now as a defence my husband used the defence of reasonable corporal punishment. It failed, so below I have reproduced article 79 of the 2002 Children's Law (Jersey). This explains the limitation of the use of this defence:<br /><br />79 Limitation of defence of reasonable corporal punishment<br />(1) Any defence of reasonable corporal punishment of a child shall only be available to a person who was at the time of the punishment –<br />(a) a person with parental responsibility for the child; or<br />(b) a person without parental responsibility for the child who –<br />(i) is the father or relative of the child;<br />(ii) had care of the child; and<br />(iii) had the consent of a person with parental responsibility for the child to administer such punishment.<br />(2) Any defence of reasonable corporal punishment of a child shall not be available if the punishment involved any means other than the use of a hand.<br /><br /><br />Bearing this in mind, it really does make me wonder if his lawyer knew the law. Maybe if we could have afforded a lawyer who was actually going to represent my husband, perhaps the outcome would have been different.<br /><br />My current stance remains the result of needing the recognition of what actually happened, and the fact all that happened was just a couple of smacks, nothing more nothing less. We don't need any 'help' from them. Unless this happens, as my mum says, and I agree, my son would have my husband over a barrel and what do we do live on egg shells waiting for the next time he does something like this? What would the SS do then? I will not put my family in that position, I love them all too much.<br /><br />The one question remaining with me is does my husband's actions justify the way we have been villified by Social Services?One Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.com7
