To wonder about all the press on Social Services taking children away?

From good families and parents for no good reason. It is media hype or is there truth in it?

Talking with friends recently, some say they are careful about what they say to the GP for fear of what goes down on record. For example, they would think twice before saying something along the lines of, "I'm finding it hard to cope with my young children while sick with flu (or whatever illness)".

Amy social workers out there who could comment? Is it true that 95% of children are never returned to their parents once removed?

Scary. I can't believe this could happen.

Because story lines like that fuel the mindset you are encouraging :(

ErikNorseman · 30/11/2012 20:28

Social workers are 'up in arms' about the storyline because it is an entirely false representation of how social services operate and contributes to the culture of fear that prevents people from accessing support or services. Much like you are.

I told her I don't believe her. I don't.

In one month she has gone from someone who has no cluse what is going on to apparant expert in forced adoption. For the last month, while fighting for her grandson back (baring in mind she didn't even know what kind of facility her GS was in when removed, so really didn't know what was going on) she has not been concentrating on just her GS case.

She has also become an 'expert' in several other cases. Quite a busy month.

Also the lack of evidence and the fact that she thinks eatsenders can be sued for making something up.

mysecretworld · 30/11/2012 20:32

NO I WONT CAUSE I DONT BELIEVE YOU................................................ JUST LIKE YOU DONT BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING

bradywasmyfavouriteking · 30/11/2012 20:33

As I said on the other thread I don't think you're lying. I think you are down right wrong and dangerously deluded.

amillionyears · 30/11/2012 20:43

mysecretworld, do you think EVERYTHING that is on Eastenders and the other soaps is real?

FivesAndNorks · 30/11/2012 20:43

You on the other hand mrsdv are clearly a long term troll. I suspected for a long time and now you've admitted it. I KNEW it.
Wink

That was a wink by the way. To indicate I'm teasing mrsdv. Who is not a troll. Just to make that absolutely clear for anyone struggling to understand.
