to not want to join this facebook group?

Can't really do links, but there is a facebook group campaigning for the mother of the twins (the ones that were in care and then she snatched them twice) to be able to keep her children.

This to me seems a very inappropriate group. People on there are saying that she had alcohol problems but she should be allowed to keep her children now etc etc.

WTF do they know about the case? SS don't generally take kids into care for no reason. They do what they can to keep children with their mothers, which is what happened to me until my 'mother' just done a runner one weekend.

Pisses me off that people read a couple of articles in the media, then someone starts some crappy facebook group where everyone jumps on the bandwagon, bleating about the 'poor' mother.

There are lots of FB groups like this.

There are lots set up by birth parents who have lost their children to SS.

Its a way of protesting and venting and is understandable in the circumstances.

They are impotent. FB groups are pointless technically as they have no power and are lost amoungst millions of others.

But they serve a purpose if they make someone feel better or give them an outlet.

You are right that they know nothing about the case. Its sounds like there were serious concerns about her ability to keep the children safe.

But there are far, far worse groups on FB.

Yes, I caught one of the far worse ones recently. I reported it. It was bloody horrific and I told FB that they should vet groups before they are allowed to start, not that they give a shit really, which is why they won't introduce this panic button thing.

I have deleted all groups etc on there and only use it to contact family and friends that don't live near me now. I'm getting really fed up of it.

Yep its annoying but I am strangly drawn to it

The good thing about the groups is that you find out an awful lot about people on your friends list by the ones they join.

I have deleted 'friends' based on the ones they join.
