Child taken by from womb by forced C/S for social services! II

As the other is full.
There are far too many cases where the authorities rush to remove children and do not give both parents and wider family a say. Adoption is rushed through.
The fact a senior family judge is insisting he is involved in the rest of this case is a good thing and the more cases like this which receive publicity the better.

The point is it is like justice in China and Russia. If it's secret then those involved cannot justify themselves. If we have more in the public domain that is a greater good than any risk from disclosure to the children and parents involved. it is why open justice and published judgments and rights for all those involved in child disputes to use twitter, blogs and emails and no stifling of free speech.

Thankfully things are all moving this way and we lucky to have people like JM and C Booker to give publicity to the issues which need much wider debate. I would imagine most social workers and lawyers involved in this area are very happy that the issues get more public debate not less. Most professions would.

can you allege? that's good in law.

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 00:52

I like to think of my you is all luffly a bathetic moment.

Lilka · 07/12/2013 00:52

I remember when John turned up on the AdoptionUK forums, Devora

THAT was memorable

as are his few visit to our adoption boards. We are discussing some case/point and JH will come in with something like "reactive attachment disorder, which is frequently confused with autism, is

Actually that was exactly what he said on AUK

I couldn't get over the absolute arrogance he showed in thinking he had anything to say about RAD or attachment issues to parents who live the reality of it every single damn day

Ditto the Mumsnet threads

Lilka · 07/12/2013 00:53

I can?

Hmm

I allege that Ian Josephs is a completely batshit crazy fuckwitted cunt

I should have copied my post before it got deleted

Lilka · 07/12/2013 00:55

Oh and I also alleged and continue to allege that his beliefs are toeing dangerously close to the line of being pro-sexual abuse

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 01:02

oh my page 40. oops! who is going to be foolish enough to start another?

Not me.

Anyone?

Lilka · 07/12/2013 01:12

I'd genuinely prefer this just die now

If and when in some months time, the baby is placed with parents and they apply for an adoption order, and then the final round of appeals begins and ends...then I'm sure the final court judgements will generate another thread

Which I am sure will cover the exact same ground as this thread, complete with John Hemming, sueing, the sensible versus the conspiracy theorists, Ian Josephs and everything else that depressingly gets covered on every single Mumsnet thread like this one, and yet never gets resolved because John always comes back again

That said, if this thread changed anyones mind about this being some baby snatching conspiracy, it was probably worth it

And I got a chance to collect some IJ quotes for future reference

Note how John never answered my question, no matter how many times I posted it and Maryz/Nana etc repeated it

He never does, not on any other threads either when Maryz, I and others have asked

With that depressing fact as my last...

I'm off...to brush my teeth, using the toothbrush that is locked in the medicine cabinet because my teenage (adopted) daughter, being truamatised and permanently emotional, behaviourally and mentally affected by abuse and neglect, at the age of 17 thought it was okay to scrub the toilet with my toothbrush and then put my toothbrush back so I unwittingly used it. Hence my giggling in a kind of ironic way at Spero's last post.

I bid thee all goodnight and sweet dreams Smile

Except John Wink

JaquelineHyde · 07/12/2013 01:14

Hey! What's with all these atrocious cunts flying around!

I am an atrocious cunt and proud.

JH is nothing, he and his ilk are not worthy of classification!

If anyone is taking any official action against JH and his cronies please contact me if I can do anything.

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 01:14

hear hear Lilka. Am tempted to read of Katie Hopkin's stout defence of Charles Saatchi in the same way I like to contemplate aliens from outer space....

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 01:16

You what upsets me most about JH?

It's not his claims about adoptions. It's not his espousal of other causes.

It's his inability to string a sentence together that actually makes sense.

Such a handicap. Especially in public office.

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 01:17

c'mn John, you KNOW you want to get that deleted....

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 01:21

and my apologies to MN. They did not delete my reference to the Carl Gardner twitter thing.

It was something even more innocuous.

Heigh ho!

Lilka · 07/12/2013 01:24

I'd prefer to read Katie Hopkins than John Hemming and I'd take 10 KH's over 1 in Josephs

Katie might tell people that naming your child Jayden and Chrystal-Maeve is abusive, but Ian Josephs would go one step further and say "Social services will take your child away from you for calling it Danayla-Leigh. And if you say your social worker's name is boring, GUARUNTEED forced adoption"

I'm right, aren't I? Wink

But God it's bad when you would choose KH....

And with that, truly goodnight, you have been fantastic thread company

Excluding John. Duh

WestmorlandSausage · 07/12/2013 01:41

nearly a 1000 posts and I still haven't had my questions answered from last night by Mr Hemming or any of his friends. And I don't suppose I ever will.....

I will therefore be contacting my own MP Tim Farron (president of the Lib Dem party) to ask him instead about his party member's activities and whether they represent the views of the Lib Dem party and if Mr Hemming is authorised to do this kind of work during his working day.

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2013 01:44

very good idea.

confuddledDOTcom · 07/12/2013 02:16

I can't believe I've just caught up with the thread after being out for the day just for it to run out of space!

Wannabestepfordwife · 07/12/2013 05:49

westmorland you can also go on the lib dem website and make a formal complaint about any members

NotYoMomma · 07/12/2013 08:35

my biological mother had mental capacity issues. her mother (biological gran) had care of her older chikd but was in her 70s when my mother got pregnant with me

she refused to take me as she was too old and it wasnt fair on her, my mother or myself.

so I was adopted. by far the best thing anyone ever did for me. I was in care for a few
months while assessments were made of my mother and then adopted to a wonderful and loving famiky who were able to care for me and make the best decisions for me, something my own mother may have been unable to do

it means I have never met my biological sister and was raised an 'only child' . beyond a mild curiosity(stronger when pregnant with my own children), this has not affecred me at all.

love and good stable care is more important than biology imo and having read the judgement and the lack of suitable stable carers (lets not pretend the Dad did anywhere near enough to show his ability to care for the child and the aunt in USA is a bloody stupid idea) then I think ss made the correct decision

Spero · 07/12/2013 09:12

The one really good thing about the thread is that I think it has really crystallised justifiable outrage about these men and their activities, and hopefully publicised it a bit more.

I urged people to complain to the. Lib Dems about JH's activities whilst holding himself out to be an MP but don't hold your breath for any response. I sent a detailed letter to. Nick Clegg last summer and did. To even have the courtesy of an acknowledgement - and I know this has happened to others.

Every time JH pops up on a thread like this I am going to ask him the same question - where is the proof that LA now or ever were paid a bounty for every baby they took into care?

Maybe others have a question they too would like answering. We can simply repeat the questions (which he will never answer because he cannot: his assertions are wrong) and hopefully the penny will drop for some just who he really is.

Thanks everyone who has held it together in the face of sometimes enormous provocation. I have learned a lot of interesting stuff in past for days, so for that I am grateful.

Mignonette · 07/12/2013 09:29

Another one making a formal complaint. Enough is enough. The man is behaving in a cowardly manner. This time it won't go away.

nennypops · 07/12/2013 09:30

Way back in this thread JH cried an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons in support of his stance. The only trouble is, it was his own EDM, and he was the only signatory.

I can't work out whether he's just thick, or whether he thinks we're too dim to notice. If the latter, that would make him exceptionally thick.

Mignonette · 07/12/2013 09:30

^^^^^

What Spero said.

Mignonette · 07/12/2013 09:31

Twitter. Use Twitter to contact Lib Dems. Too public to ignore.

CarpeVinum · 07/12/2013 09:32

Anyway even if this child didn't make contact with her sisters and other extended family until she was 25 would it not be better that she had been brought up in Italy speaking Italian so that she was able to do this later if she wanted to?

A child of mixed race who would suffer further delays in terms of process, perhaps to the point of never being placed outside of an insititution ?

Hell no.

I love Italy. I have lived here for the bulk of my adult life (and I am not young). I even made a mini Italian with my very own body. In all likeyhood I'll die here, and as long as a teaspoon of me goes home, that's ok.

But given the specifics of this case, anybody who thinks shunting her over to Italy is making a priority of the child in question, is utterly ignorant of many realities here.
