social services took my beautiful children

[user1491683745]

it really is not fair to do it to someone who absolutely loves and adores them they really need me and are probably so unhappy i am so done with life and really really want them with me

Unfortunately I have seen some really weird working of Social Services and I think that the OP needs some serious help as in Lawyers and perhaps even newspapers. The circumstances surrounding the actions of Social Works has to be accountable and if there is cause complaint to the Care Commision
Wtf are you on about? Op has given us the bare bones of her story and you are demonising SW-you know nowt about what's happened. Wait till she comes back, then people will be able to advise.

User i Work in social services and a court order is needed to keep your children in care. In the short term the police have powers to remove them to safety for up to 72 hours.
St some point next week there will be a hearing.
Go get a good family lawyer. Work with social service, find out what they need you to do

Op, a child can only be removed from their parents care in two circumstances, either the parent agrees or it was court ordered. As you did not agree then yes this was court ordered.

Why was your son calling childline?

First thing Monday, gather up any paperwork you've got from social services and see a solicitor. It sounds like they've got an Emergency Protection Order. If that's right, it only lasts three days before they need a court order, so you should be in court early in the week.

They will have had to get an emergency order to remove the children from your care. There should be a court hearing very soon and you will be told the process and how to get legal advice. They should have told you grounds unless there are specific safeguarding issues around the home environment, which will need to be followed up separately.

It sounds like an Emergency Protection Order has been made, which can be put into action without notice to the parent. It is a mechanism only used where the most serious concerns exist.

I'm so sorry to hear this op.

What is the situation now exactly?

He must have told them something concerning.

I can only imagine how awful this is for you, and the children. I know that SS would only do this in the most extreme of circumstances. However horrible it is, your children will be safe, and believe me social services have no interest in taking children from functional families so if this is a dreadful mistake I'm sure they will be returned to you. Stay strong x

social services have never ever been involved in our lives i take very good care of my children and would never do anything to put them at risk this is so awful why would he be doing this to me my son and i have always got on really well he is 11 yes i do have a partner who is equally as upset

Have they given you any information? Have they suggested why they were taken or how you may get them back?

You aren't giving enough for anyone to help you.

Some of you have FAR more faith in SS than is warranted. Far more.

It's a system that is FULL of problems and they DO get it wrong. Badly, badly, wrong sometimes.

User...745. I really, really hope you can get this sorted out, and that your DC are everyone's priority and that someone is involved that knows what they're doing x

Why have they been taken?

What was he calling Childline for? How old is he?

Blaming your son is not the way to go. He has reported something, others have acted in response. Is your p his father?

Op i don't think you're giving the full story here. if you want help you need to be more open.

OP how many children do you have? Do you have any idea what your eldest was saying to childline? I hope it all gets sorted

Please don't blame your son! He clearly has issues which he felt he could only talk about on childline. He isn't 'doing it to you', he's just a child who obviously is very upset about something and if a court has deemed there is a danger to him and the other child/ren then that's why they have been removed.

This must be so frightening and confusing for you and guess it makes it worse that presumably you won't be able to get legal advice until at least Monday now. Why your son phoned Child Line is no one else's business really but I hope you can get all this sorted out for the best soon

Crikey ok so emergency order then. Have they spoken to you about it at all? They must have serious concerns about his immediate safety and op this may not be anything you are aware of. Someone else close to him could be putting him at serious risk. When did this happen?

You said your son was ringing childline.

Surely something is upsetting him for him to do that. Do you know what this is? It might give you a clue as to what's going on.

Op, they should of told you what they felt the immediate risk was.

Please work with them, it will give you all the best outcome.

Did they tell you what your son had been saying? Perhaps he has something going on you're unaware of. I don't think he's 'doing' anything to you unless you think he's making up lies. I assume they need to tell you why other than they fear for their immediate safety. I'm sure it will work out once you've found out what the problem is and work with SS to sort this out.
