My Family treated worse than Criminals by Social Services

My Family as been treated worse than Criminals by Social Services

 Published July 19, 2006

My three children are in foster care on a permanent care order-

 

The children were taken as a result of me suffering some mental health problems. I was wrongly diagnosed by a ‘court appointed expert’ as having a personality disorder only for this diagnosis to be later corrected by two doctors letters instructing the Social Services that I am indeed very well and complying with medication for just depression - [considering my children were in care] Yet, knowing this medical fact had been officially confirmed to the Social Services they still insisted that my poor children remain in care?

 

While in care my children have suffered enormously, Social Services are investigating allegations of abuse and where my children have been continue let down by an awful system Social Services as even cruelly separated my children from one another and the damage this is causing my loved ones is just being constantly ignored by officials.

 

Ex: In a recent incident my oldest child was found drunk at the side of a road by the Police then moved to a place of safety. All my three children desperately want to return home with their family with my youngest persistently telling Social Workers:

 

“you are not my mummy’ ‘I want my mummy’ but I am not allowed to have my mummy why?”

 

The BBC recently featured my case on National lunchtime news edition; I have also contributed to National Radio debates including a Radio Five Live programme. All media presenters/journalists ECT have found my case to be an outrageous injustice. Especially when they also learned that I care for my Three Stepchildren yet the Social Services feel they are perfectly safe? This seems to be a complete breakdown of clear thinking by the Local Authority resulting in the continued abuse of my children who remain in care, while Social Services know they would be perfectly well cared for back at home with their family – it’s just senseless...

 

“I only have contact ,to my children just nine times a year now, I also receive phone calls once a month less than that of a highly dangerous prisoner locked away in our jails. Why is this?”

 

It’s my families’ disgrafull experiences with the failing Family Court system and the Social Services that drove me to the internet for assistance and I was amazed to find hundreds of other families affecting thousands of children suffering a similar fate.

 

I now help Fassit UK [The Families Social Services Inquiry Team] an excellent Voluntary Organisation addressing these issues helping parents throughout the UK. My interest in Family Proceedings as now extended to a career move where I am now a studying ‘Law Student’ in the hope of eventually - on qualification - to offer a Legal Advocacy Service for Parents and Children embroiled in Family Law.

 

I am a married caring mum who takes her responsibilities very seriously and I just want my children home because there is no medical/physical/logical reasons why we should be apart.

 

Thank you kindly

S. E
