To think some posters are naive about SS?

I see many posts where people seem to believe either that SS will offer support and that parents who are loving and coping but struggling can contact them for a hand-hold, or posts where people believe a not ideal yet normal situation can and should be reported.

AIBU to think posters are naive about what SS actually do?

Brilliant post, and again I don't understand why the conspiracy is more attractive.

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:12

Thanks for letting me know (about my mistakes) was to tess

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:18

olivers that's a crazy one! Never heard that one before. Was this "error" corrected or is it now set in stone ?

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:22

Strange how most of the victims (if not all) on this thread have not even mentioned conspiracy. Apart from myself, where I've said no conspiracy. Yet the subject continues to be brought up?

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 13:24

Do you agree that there is a really good reason why some babies should not be given their mothers breastmilk

What reason is that then tess ???

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 13:25

What reason could there be not to give a baby it’s mothers expressed milk, when previous tests had cleared them from anything dangerous? Interested to know. Genuinely

You imply it constantly. You dismiss any rational explanation and support people like Sabine McNeill. It's the process of elimination Ethel. You absolutely refuse to put forward any reason for the widespread appalling practice you are claiming happens.

What are we supposed to think you believe?

Oliversmumsarmy · 25/08/2018 13:26

Given everything they write is set in stone. It took a judge to ask why SW thought friend was Indian.

Apparently it was written down so must be true.

Tessliketrees · 25/08/2018 13:32

What reason is that then tess???

I answered this

It doesn't say anything at all about testing Ethel. Not a thing

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:38

I'm genuinely interested too, please expand tess

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 13:39

Somebody who has reason to believe said mother has taken drugs or drank alcohol excessively?

Please point me to where it says that in the article? Or are you just assuming again?

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:42

You imply it constantly Goodness, this is quite worrying. I'm actually fitting some of the qualities of cs. Scared myself now!

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:48

Apparently it was written down so must be true. There for ever in the records, although sometimes they do kindly "put a note on it". Wonder what the "note" says? This is a fabricated report, but read it if you wish?

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 13:48

That article is awful. Why are you still on here trying to rubbish other peoples experience tess honestly what are you getting out of it?

Aunti is using this thread to talk about her experience and all you have done, with a few others, is pull her grammar, call her names, call her a liar (and me) for having alternate view and real life experience. I just don’t know what your getting from this thread now other to argue with women who has clearly been through a lot.

What Is thread giving you?

Tessliketrees · 25/08/2018 13:49

auntethel

What do you think about what hogfather posted?

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 13:53

tess your obsessed with Aunty why??

Aunty don’t feed tess anymore love. She/he is on this thread for negative energy.

auntethel · 25/08/2018 13:53

tess and thehog, do you really think we don't know that sort of thing does happen and that some sw's do their job and help them?

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 13:54

Aunty I may have missed this, but have things been resolved?

Tessliketrees · 25/08/2018 13:58

tess and thehog, do you really think we don't know that sort of thing does happen and that some sw's do their job and help them?

I don't know, when resources have been put forward as an explanation you dismiss it.

I suppose my point is you are obviously angry, you imply you are part of a group of angry people. What do you want to do to change things? What do you think needs to change?

auntethel · 25/08/2018 14:02

optimus it's fine, really. Water off a duck's back.Smile I like to see them show their true selves and their total lack of compassion for children damaged by the authorities.

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 14:04

Aunt she is like a dog with a bone! Only answers questions when she has a smart reply Grin yet demands responses all the time ! 🙈

optimusprimesmother · 25/08/2018 14:05

She is defanatly a scab picker !! Wink

auntethel · 25/08/2018 14:12

tess and thehog what do you think about Spanglylycra's post?

Claw001 · 25/08/2018 14:13

Our brief timeline of events.

Son’s school attendance due to Autism, school related anxiety, self harm etc, is patchy. CAMHS had confirmed this in several reports.

I ask school to back my request for EHCP assessment to enable my son’s attendence to increase. School said don’t know what you are talking about, he has no difficulties etc (despite having copies of his dx, SALT, OT, CAMHS reports)

I apply for EHCP regardless. SENCO phones LA, saying ds has no difficulties mum is bonkers. They agree to report me to SS (copy of school file)

SW turned up at my door. I’ve taken steps to ensure he can ie asked for EHCP assessment. Showed her CAMHS, OT etc reports regarding self harm, school anxiety and needs, which school are not meeting. Ds shows her some of self harm injuries. I later discover she had recorded ds does not self harm, he has been bitten by gnats!!

Case is escalated to next stage (without my knowledge) Different SW interviews ds in school (without my knowledge) he shows her his self harm injuries, tells her he is suicidal due to having to attend school etc. She phones and tells me to pick up immediately and take him A&E for emergency mental health assessment.

Ds is made subject to a CAMHS safety plan, part of which is not to attend school if it increases his self harm and suicidal thoughts. It does, so ds doesn’t attend. We are waiting 2 weeks for further CAMHS appointment.

I take ds to GP and GP signs ds off school until seen by CAMHS.

Meeting is held with SW and school for a plan to return ds, which will go ahead whether I agree or not. SW had phoned GP. SW tells meeting GP has reversed her decision (GP had not) they want ds to attend without making any change to the support. I say I will follow CAMHS advice and not send him.

SW asks me to sign a document saying if ds does not attend, I give permission for CP proceedings to start. I refuse.

I ask for copies of all assessments and on evidence case is being escalated. Get a copy of core assessment, written that day, littered with inaccuracies.

Case is escalated (without my knowledge) SW turns up making all kinds of threats and chases ds around the house, telling him she is going to take him school herself.

Official complaint. Ds’s file goes missing.

HOW TIMELINE SHOULD READ

School and LA report me for being bonkers, due to thinking ds has no difficulties.

SW reads reports dx, CAMHS, OT, SALT etc. SW checks with GP mum has no mental health difficulties. SW checks with me what action I’m taking to ensure school attendance.

SW then tells school and LA to do a bloody EHCP assessment and to fuck off and stop wasting their time!
