Did you know Margaret Hodge, children's minister, is proposing that there should be Big-Brother style electronic records on all children? All health/education/social services people who have anything to do with a child have to enter any concerns. And two 'flags' mean the professionals have to meet to see if there's any possibility of abuse. Apparently this could mean GP flags low birth weight, then eight months later health visitor flags something else and there could be a case conference! Absolutely outrageous, particularly in the light of the false allegations of Munchausen's Sydrome by Proxy. The excuse is the Victoria Climbie case. Although that had a lot more to do with absolute incompetence on the part of social, medical and police services. How does this woman, who hushed up real child abuse when she was in charge at Islington council, dare to threaten parents like this? Also gives the state great control over its citizens as you can bet the Government won't destroy records when people reach 18 but will continue to watch us. Big Brother is here, now.
