My most profound apologies Birdseye. I'd grovel, but my knees are shot.

BreakWindandFire · 06/11/2018 21:31

Hayden doesn't appear to be registered with CILEX, the SRA, or Bar Standards Board. So not a chartered legal executive, solicitor or barrister.

So while they are free to describe themselves as a 'lawyer' - just as they are free to describe themselves as a project manager, or nutritionist - they don't appear to be 'lawyering' in the way that the woman on the Clapham omnibus would understand.

TwistedStitch · 06/11/2018 23:39

More sensible and measured posting from this medical professional I see. Now scaremongering about the family courts and taking a 'friend of a mother's gofundme as fact.

even more sensible and measured posting saying that children hardly ever detransition (doesnt mention desisting)and that all that do have lacked support from their family. twitter.com/DrAdrianHarrop/status/1059835845983850497

has anyone got data to hand that could be posted to improve his thread (difficult as that is)

Weezol · 07/11/2018 00:11

Really enjoying your posts Birdseye.

Self tapping screws are screws needs to be on a badge.

MrsBertBibby · 07/11/2018 05:53

If my educated guess is right, that gofundme is based on a most egregious misrepresentation of the facts.

Iused2BanOptimist · 07/11/2018 06:34

Hmm. One assumes this is a different case to the boy who has been returned to his father with the judge forbidding further contact from a certain charity? The court statement in that case was pretty clear.
To argue against that particular case would be a whole new level of blind refusal to accept facts and not a sensible stance for a professional Dr to take.

If it is another case than that is another cheer from me for the judges who see this for what it is. Abuse and a whole new world of opportunity for Munchausen inclined parents.

NotBadConsidering · 07/11/2018 07:01

I note that neither Harrop or Prior have put their names to any of the donations so far. They either donated anonymously and stingily, or haven’t donated.

R0wantrees · 07/11/2018 07:11

Hmm. One assumes this is a different case to the boy who has been returned to his father with the judge forbidding further contact from a certain charity?

As always with complex child welfare cases, it is best practice not to assume. Dr Harrop should be very aware of this.

from the petition:
"'On the 9th February 2016 Justice - removed a 6 years old trans child from their mother. The ruling was made contrary to the expert views of the court-appointed professionals and the Local Authority. "

final hearing transcript of the case which you mention, October 2016, at which point the child was 7 years having been placed with his father previously:
www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/format.cgi?doc=/ew/cases/EWHC/Fam/2016/2430.html

Guardian article November 2016:
'Parents fear transgender children will be taken away after court ruling
Ex-partners reportedly emboldened by high court ruling have suggested they will try to get custody of children'

"Parents of transgender children fear their ex-partners will sue them for custody of their children after the high court ruled that a seven-year-old child who the mother perceives as transgender should be removed from her care.

Four mothers of trans children have said their ex-partners have threatened to take them to court for custody of their child in the wake of the ruling, says Mermaids, an organisation that supports young trans people and their families, which also supported the mother in the high court case.

“We have had four separate parents come forward, in cases where the ex-partner doesn’t agree with the child’s [gender] presentation,” said Susie Green, CEO of Mermaids. “All the ones that have come through so far have been the mum who has custody and the father is unsupportive.” (continues)

Times article 2017 regarding the judge's direction re Mermaids (with clarification):

Fox Fisher's comment on petition also noteworthy,
"This trans child deserves to express her gender as she chooses and deserves to be reunited with her loving mother. Her mum has been robbed of many years of her only child growing up and has missed crucial years of her development. Reunite this loving family immediately. Justice for this mum and daughter!"

Person posting the GoFundMe publicised by Dr Harrop:
'Heather Glazzard
Queer, Gender bending Photographer and Artist based in Manchester, England.

A constant explorer of sexuality and fascination.'
www.heatherglazzard.com/

Heather Glazzard, "Please note that I am Fundrasing on behalf of a friend. Due to an injunction all information must stay private. The injunction prevents the family from speaking out and revealing names of the legal individuals involved in fear of being prosecuted. After the child being taken away, my friend wishes to fight again to get their child back."
"Whilst I'm aware this is not my story to tell I have been given permission from the Mother of this story to do."

Sorry, were we discussing a professional doctor here? I must have wandered onto the wrong thread. Grin

BirdseyeFrozen · 07/11/2018 08:18

Rowantrees Thank you for presenting these links in your usual excellent manner.
This case needs reading, it is frightening. Note please that any attempt to identify the child is Contempt of Court.
Thank goodness for Mr. Justice Hayden, who is absolutely no relation to a certain person, allegedly, a "lawyer" of same name, and friend of Adrian the Unquestioning Fundraiser GP

What I don't understand is why Haddock's so invested. He's not trans and is married, so presumably isn't looking for a fling with a trans person.

Surprised he's not at the trans-health conference in Argentina picking up on how to treat this population. Seeing as how there's probably going to be a vacancy once Dr W's sentenced.

Iused2BanOptimist · 07/11/2018 08:59

Thank you Rowan
I can't say I have researched any statistics relating to Munchausen by proxy but my impression from memory of cases that made the news is it seems to be more often the mothers who are at the heart of it.

As regards trans children like I said, it offers a whole new level of opportunity - a toxic mix of fashion, attention seeking, cheerleaders of questionable integrity and professionals who should know better but are either in thrall or who don't dare challenge the orthodoxy for fear of accusations of trans phobia. That a certain charity is supporting another four mothers families is interesting. So they are becoming family law experts now?

We can only hope other family court judges also cut through all this and ensure that children get the protection they deserve, including clipping the wings of charities overstepping their remit.

That case report was a very interesting read. Thanks for the link, Birdseye.

Two phrases referring to the mother caught my attention:

This is not a case about gender dysphoria, rather it is about a mother who has developed a belief structure which she has imposed upon her child.

rigid and ultimately false belief structure

Well, said, Your Honour.

MrsBertBibby · 07/11/2018 10:20

My Lord, as it goes.

LangCleg · 07/11/2018 10:32

Well, this is all extremely concerning.

FactCheque · 07/11/2018 10:48

How/why are some these cases reported on and others not? I know of an extremely shocking case, involving a child & courts which I won't comment on here, yet it has never been reported on.

Mrskeats · 07/11/2018 11:24

Haddock is married!!!!!! To an actual woman? I find that unbelievable given his constant woman bashing.
