Protecting our Children, Part 2

[Lilka]

Thought I'd start a new thread because the other one was so big

Anyone else going to be watching?

Apologies for all my random posts... I am about to throw my iPhone out of the window....

they have to show that they have informed dad and worked with him, he has PR. If it gets to court, they have to show that they have worked with both parents.
He blamed it all on his past, he needs to grow up and accept that he is in control of his own life.

kayano - of course not force anyone, just help them get sorted when they are so chaotic.

He is a very very very sad character

Both couples from last week and this week are former looked after children

He says he went into care at 14, if I heard correctly. He was beaten between the ages of 4 and 14. I'm sure that did much more damage than the care system did. We failed him by not noticing and removing him from his own parents much sooner.

Poor guy. Is there ever any hope for him.

Oh please let this turn out well :(

Is this a subconscious advert for Adele btw?

Many times, babies are removed and the first thing they do is go and get pregnant again in the hope of keeping this one :(
There is plenty of support for parents, esepcially about contraception, but much as it would be easier, you cant force them

Why is she having a scan now? Just for television?

:(

I always think Adele=misery.

He is totally disconnected from mainstream society isnt he?

Its so sad. I know he isnt nice and know he shouldnt be with her or the baby but its still so sad.

I personally don't want her to keep her baby.

I wasnt saying care damaged him/them.

My point is going into care isnt the cure all some people seem to think it is.

very clever editing.
social worker seems good. what patience.

I suspect he won't get to middle age. He has been badly let down by the system but he has to want to mend the damage done to him.

How sad that he couldn't get strength from Marva's strength :(

Maybe because she has had a previous OD and has drank and they need to keep an eye on the pregnancy...

After what she's put her baby through I would imagine she'd be having regular scans.

might be due to drug and drink, to check on growth and development.
So sad, now his tried to kill himself

I feel for Shaun. I know he's a nightmare bloke in many ways but I knew before he said that he must have been awfully abused as a child. He's so damaged.

This is what social work is for though......to try to break the cycle.....

So sad.

Poor guy. He needs attention. Probably his violence is for attention and OD for attention.

Thank God psychiatrics involved.
