A father is in jail and his wife is in hiding abroad with her children after he helped them flee the country to escape social services, it emerged yesterday.
The businessman's wife was heavily pregnant with their first child - and was terrified the baby would be taken at birth by social workers - when he drove his family to Dover, and then on to Paris. She had a second reason for fleeing - she believed her eight-year-old son from a previous marriage was to be adopted against her wishes.
A mother who
fled abroad to stop social workers seizing her children spoke about her ordeal for the first time yesterday. The woman says she is refusing to return home because she fears her eight-year-old son will be adopted and her baby daughter taken into care. If caught, she faces seven years in prison for abducting her elder child from his foster home.
A solicitor who kidnapped his baby daughter from a visiting supervision centre has been jailed for 20 months. Father reacted as any loving, caring parent would to protect their child from being rough handed by these thugs.
The inside story of how and why one MP was bugged reveals that evesdropping by authorities in Britain is far more widespread than expected-and no one is immune.
A mother and her young son cannot claim damages from a local authority which wrongly accused her of harming the child who was then taken from her.
Girl wins damages over taken baby. Nottingham City Council has agreed to pay damages to an 18-year-old mother after taking away her newborn baby.
The local authority admitted at the High Court in Liverpool that it had acted unlawfully. They now have a court order and have snatched the baby a second time.
The case of a
newborn baby removed from his 18-year-old mother – known only as G – despite no care order being in place is undoubtedly an example of poor practice. Put quite simply, the legal processes that should have been followed before a child can be taken into care were not. An interesting mixture of posts follow this story.
A teenage mother today had her baby son removed and placed in care for the second time this week. The 18-year-old woman won back her son, referred to in court as G, on Wednesday lunchtime after obtaining an emergency high court order that ruled social workers had broken the law when they removed the baby at 4am on Tuesday, two hours after his birth. But social services officials from Nottingham city council succeeded on their second attempt to obtain an interim care order and remove the four-day-old boy from his mother.
A baby taken from
his teenage mother by social workers hours after he was born, then returned after a High Court ruling, is to be placed with foster parents. Giving no good reason why and mentioning the mother has "mental health problems" because she was raised and abused in care and suffered trauma because of it. I would think that would make her a more understanding and caring mother.
A teenage mother fled court in tears yesterday after being told that her baby son, who was taken illegally by social workers a few hours after he was born, would be put back into care for a second time. The 18-year-old was separated from the boy, known only as G, two hours after she gave birth. He
was returned to her after a judge at the High Court ruled that his removal had been "unlawful". However, in another twist in the case, a second judge issued an interim order yesterday to put the baby back in foster care. District Judge Richard Inglis said that there could be "frequent" contact between mother and son, but ruled that a decision about G's future would have to wait until later in the year. (Obviously waiting for the media to quiet down about this case before they adopt the baby)
A senior judge has cast serious doubt over the reliability of DNA paternity and maternity tests used by closed Family Courts. He also identified problems with key evidence in
more than 120 hearings in the courts, raising fears that children may have been wrongly removed from their parents.
I was stricken - really stricken - by the story of the teenage mother whose baby was snatched by social workers this week. "Snatched" is an emotionally loaded word, I know. But it was an emotionally loaded removal. Two hours after the 18-year-old had delivered her healthy son at 4am on Wednesday, social workers from Nottingham City Council walked into the maternity unit and showed nursing staff the "birth plan" drawn up for Baby G by the "local safeguarding children board".
Social workers who illegally took a baby from its mother just hours after it was born are launching another bid to take the child into care.
The healthy baby boy was born to the 18-year-old, who had just left local authority care, in hospital at 2am on Wednesday.
He was removed without her consent after staff were shown a "birth plan" prepared by social workers from Nottingham City Council.
The plan said the mother, who had a troubled childhood and suffers from mental health problems, was to be separated from the child. The "troubled child hood" was being raised in care and the "mental health problems" are trauma due to being abused in care. No indication this mother would harm
her baby.
A LOVING Barrow grandmother whose family has been torn apart by forced adoption has failed in her legal bid to secure the return of her toddler grandchild. The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, challenged a Lancaster County Court decision at London’s Appeal Court after her youngest grandchild was adopted by another family. But despite failing to win back the child, she has vowed to fight on.
A judge convicted of harassment was yesterday allowed to keep his identity a secret after a court ruled making it public could harm his family.
A theatre nurse who died after wrongly having a drug used in epidurals pumped into her arm was unlawfully killed, an inquest jury has ruled.
Gordon Brown will announce the findings of an independent review today that will open the door to the use of intercept evidence in court.
A judge who persuaded courts to hush up his own criminal convictions
was yesterday named and shamed. His Honour Lincoln Crawford OBE was unmasked by the High Court as the man found guilty of a campaign of harassment against his ex-wife.
An eminent barrister and judge whose conviction for harassing his ex-wife and her new partner was kept secret by a gagging order can be named, the High Court ruled yesterday.
Well reported comment by Ian Joseph, with more interesting comments to read following a very misguiding story.
"What a misleading picture of forced
adoptions! Latest official figures state that 5100 children were taken in 2006/7 for physical abuse, 2600 for sexual abuse, and 6700 for EMOTIONAL ABUSE ! In the latter case the parents and especially the mothers, have no criminal records, no problems with drugs or alcohol, no learning difficulties and no proven mental problems! When newborn babies are earmarked at birth by the "SS" for adoption it can hardly be stated that every alternative has been tried before care and subsequent adoption take place! Battered women dare not report their partners to the police because the "SS" are called in and the children are forfeited on the grounds that the mother failed to protect them from seeing domestic violence even when the violence is only loud and verbal! To cap it all when such a woman finds a new, quiet and gentle partner their baby is forfeited too on the basis of the mother's past failure to protect her children in her previous violent relationship!"

We are two young people aged 18 and 19 who were the subjects of care proceedings in the family courts a couple of years ago. We were whisked away from school on an Emergency Protection order which was followed by interim care orders. We were subjected to the most horrible psychological cruelty by the social workers. This went on for over a year. We came from a law abiding middle class family, we achieved well in school,
we had respect for authority. Our mother was a professional, she didn't drink or take drugs. Eventually we were shown the reports the social worker was giving to the courts and allowed to comment to the judge. We were shocked and traumatised at the blatant lies written in such a spiteful manner.
