Protecting our children - is there a thread for this week yet?

[OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere]

Just wondering

Think mum has her first child that was taken from her...?

I know the lady who looks after that baby! He is such a happy little baby and had a wonderful time with that family. She is such a wonderful woman. :)

Have any of you involved in this area red sue gerhandt why love matters? Think it's about what the childrens guardian was talking about brain development.

In the other case it was a health visitor
Who raised
Concerns and the mother even admitted a risk of abuse and still didn't try to get her child out of that situation.

Imagine if they didn't ask and that 14 month old had been raped afterwards!

Do you really think thy should risk that?!

kayano I think there are lots and lots of factors that go into attachment. Its not as simple as some people make out.
I had my DS from 8 weeks and he has some attachment issues but not serious.
So much depends on quality of care. It doesnt have to be mum or dad providing it.

They did a study on children of the holcaust. They formed healthy attachments with each other.

I wonder what the actual stats are in the UK per year for the removal of children by CP. Google that later too.

They will, of course have to assess gran - depending on what order they place the child on. She will not get him if she's not suitable.

He gets upset when having his nappy changed and when he gets undressed. Fuck. More little mite.

Why get the child attatched to someone when you know he will leave?

:( about the nappy changing, how can people do things to babies ?

**Poor

I've seen PPOs done for a family who were going to run too. They'd gone all over the country & got picked up by SS but as they ram there wasn't info passed on. Only once one of the children let on where they had come from it could be traced.

Yeah thats what I notices right away.

Too happy with strangers.

Poor little man :(

What does it mean if they're too happy with strangers? Sorry, I'm genuinely clueless about this?

I know mrs devere, it's
Such a hard thing to judge that poor poor boy

Goingforgold- just under 1000 applied for in either Dec or January , it's just been in the news

Why in god's name would she let him change his nappies knowing his background? She sounds like an enabler.

nailak its not about getting a child attached to someone. Its about developing healthy attachment in a child.
Without that they will have a lifetime of difficulties.

How can you NOT allow a child to form an attachment with their primary carer. It will not save them from upset if they dont attach. Quite the opposite.

this week is really challenging

nailak "Why get the child attatched to someone when you know he will leave?" - with attachment, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. If a child can make a secure attachment with someone (anyone) it will leave them much more able to make secure attachments later. If a child doesn't have the opportunity to form a secure attachment in the first couple of years they may never be able too.

look at the state of that house.

Too happy with strangers means hasn't formed an emotional attachment to for example his mother :(
