Dear Dear Lord Justice Wall - President of the High Court Family
Division
Having forwarded a copy of the following email. I would like to
know if judges are paid for their contributions or if this is done
on a voluntary basis. If paid please provide the sums involved
encompassing all judges and records held.
I would also like to invite you and/or others to attend any of the
‘Child snatching by the State’ events that will be occurring
throughout the country. You are most welcome to put forward the
stance from the family courts perspective and will meet many
families with ‘first-hand knowledge of children’s social services
and the family courts’ who have shown great courage in adversity,
yet still show compassion and understanding for others, safe in
their knowledge that through love there is no separation.
I hope you will forgive this invitation being placed in the public
domain, but feel it is within the best interests of honesty
openness & transparency, in keeping with the justice system fully
engaging with families whose decisions affect so many children &
families lives.
Article - Family Courts 'jolly good fun' ?
Dear Judge Isobel Plumstead
I am absolutely disgusted to read the following article sent to me
by distraught parents who have had their children stolen by social
services in secret closed family courts; having attended the recent
‘Child snatching by the state’ conference in Stafford.
http://www.bemyparent.org.uk/features/it...
I have no reason to doubt these parents & grandparents accounts/
experiences of social services and the family courts, having
resigned from the Conservative party due to Conservative Kent
County Council taking my own offspring of 4 young granddaughters
for the exact same fate.
Many like myself bitterly regret seeking the advice & assistance of
social services and believe they should come with a government
'health warning'
Could it be that I was hoping to raise the exact same concerns,
encompassing the lack of support for families by social services
and transparency & accountability within the system?
Forgive me for not finding it ‘ jolly good fun’ to be removed from
the court (without my consent) and my granddaughter’s lives
forever, through fear of social services canvassing for my own
young children. Having been lucky enough to be advised against
being bullied into‘ psychological testing’ by a gentleman who also
attended the conference called Ian Josephs an Ex Kent County
Councillor (Conservative)
You may find his website of interest
http://www.forced-adoption.com/introduct...
Nor do I believe the children will find it ‘ jolly good fun’ when
they realise as adults what has happened to them; many have been
abused within the ‘care’ system and separated from their siblings,
to then be given to strangers rather than blood kin, who dearly
love & care for them.
What I am certain of, is that they will want to know who is
ultimately responsible.
regards
Cllr Sheena Williams ( Independent – Maidstone Borough Councillor)

Dear Sheena Williams,

been passed to the appropriate business unit within the MoJ, and they
will write to you with their decision by this date.

revised date you can expect to receive a response to your request.

Dear Councillor Williams
Thank you for your email of 2 May which has come to the President via the
Data Access and Compliance Unit.
In relation to the first issue you raise in relation to judicial
contributions to articles, I understand that this has been dealt with
separately under a Freedom of Information request, the response to which
you should receive shortly if you haven't done so already. I will
therefore not recover this ground. It was agreed that your invitation to
the President to attend a conference would be dealt with independently of
the FOI request and that the President's office would respond directly to
you on this matter.
As you can appreciate, the President receives a lot of invitations to
meetings, conferences and events and unfortunately the pressure on his
time means that he is not in a position to accept a lot of them. Once you
have some confirmed dates in place, please let us know and we will look at
the President's diary.
Yours sincerely

The Public may find this of interest, especially those that are parents or have families and seems to back up the concerns expressed/ reported in the Telegraph article.
Parents Beware
By Hugo Palmer
“Child snatching is being carried out by government agencies that have an interest in Adoption Agencies, Coram, BAAF and that take happy, healthy, young, bright children from innocent parents in the secret family courts. The court procedures are totally against the Human Rights of the parents and children in many ways, the trials are unfair, they are unjust punishment and torture, there is no right of free speech and no private family life.
“The government workers lie in order to stop contact between the parent and children in order to alienate the children from the parent. They stress the parent by making them watch the children’s mental health and security deteriorate while they are being alienated from the parents and have constant court proceedings.
“They then instruct a psychologist of their choice who will make the report that they want and will pay them many thousands for doing so. The psychologist will assess the parent and children while they are being alienated in order to find that the family is depressed with attachment disorders.
“They make lots of false but serious allegations against the mother in contact sessions. The allege assault on the social worker, assault on the children, distress of the children if they cry because they don’t want you to leave.
“They don’t let you see the children or speak to them. During contact you are not allowed to take photos or video of the children, your children cannot speak to any friends or extended family. Contact will end if you use a mobile phone in anyway, show any sadness or distress, speak about the children coming home, speak about time frames, wider issues or anything that will give them any idea of why they can’t come home. Then they lie to the children telling them they can’t come home because their parent is ill, or dangerous or angry. If the children still want to come home and wont settle then they move the children to a new home and new school. They then lie to the new foster carer about why the children are in care and make out that the parent is crazy and abusive. The new foster carer can then help alienate the children from their parent.
“To get the children in the first place they go through every file they hold on you from every government agency imaginable. They ignore the majority of it because it is positive and pick out any minute details to make a report showing that you are failing to meet your children’s needs whether physical or emotional. They will note there are no stairgates (even though the children are too old to need them), they note a child having headlice, a child sometimes being low in mood, a child arriving at nursery in pyjamas, they route through your medical records to find if you ever took anti depressants and if you did for 2 weeks 7 years ago, they will make out that you have had mental health problems all your life and therefore you cannot meet the emotional needs of your children. They go through your criminal record and if you don’t have a criminal record they give you one by recording that your children had to be removed from you for their protection.
“The police assist them a lot. They regularly phone the police telling them that your children are in danger and so you constantly have police knocking on your door. Each time they do they make a report, what they saw when they were standing outside staring through your windows at the children, what state the house is in, how the family seemed, and report back to social services. If the police note nothing unusual then they just report that back and the Social Services put in their report – Police alerted that mother is suicidal and carried out a welfare check. They fail to mention that it was the social services that called the police.
“They respond to a parent who asks for help for stress by pushing them over their emotional edge by using lots of investigations and false reports in order to take the children and put them through court proceedings that 98% of the time end in adoption.
“The whole process puts the child in emotional turmoil and causes the children significant harm. Social Services don’t have any evidence so for the next 40 weeks while they keep the children from the mother, they get as much evidence as they can. They particularly like upsetting the mother by making serious but false allegations and lying in Court, making false reports and cancelling contact. They like to make so many rules about contact that it is impossible to follow them without giving your child the impression that you are so much happier that they are not with you and you are happy to only see them 1 hr a week. You will also be happy that they will be adopted. It is impossible.
“They cancel contact for the parent not following the rules and tell the child ‘If she loved you she would follow the rules. She mustn’t really want to see you.’ The child then shows feelings of anger and rejection and you never get the chance to tell the child the truth of what is going on so that they know you aren’t rejecting them and that you are fighting for them but they were stolen by agencies with interest in adoption.
“The social services never help you stay together as a family and don’t make any plans to rehabilitate the children to you. They cut off all contact to anyone that might want to take the child and then say that they can’t have the children because there is no real bond. They will fail their 3 day inspection of any family member that wants to get involved unless it is a family member that doesn’t like you and wants to also alienate you from your children. They often find this easy because they target parents that were once in care or that don’t have good family support.
“When the children are in care they are often taken to Luxurious venues in the middle of the night. Judges, Lawyers, doctors also attend the same venues at the same time. The children then arrive at contact with bruising around their crotch areas and evidence of serious sexual abuse. If your child has bee in care long enough then they cannot blame it on you but otherwise they will. (In my case there is no evidence of sexual abuse, yet!) Even if you prove that your child was sexually abused in care they will not return the children to your care. They will put a gagging order on you to protect the foster carer and paedophiles.
“The Judges comply with the government agencies by not considering the parents evidence and just rely on the fact that the government agencies have raised a concern by using hearsay evidence and therefore it could possibly true, whereas if the mother’s story could possibly be true the government agency wins on the weighted balance of probability. The mother has to have firm evidence to prove that the government agencies’ allegations are false and this is normally impossible to get because the allegations arise while the child is in care when you are not allowed to speak to or see the child.
“The lawyers that are supposed to represent you behave as a paper forwarding exercise. They will tell you to admit things you haven’t done by saying ‘if you don’t say that then the children will be adopted’. They tell you that you have no right to appeal or to see a barrister. The barrister will even stop you saying that your children were snatched illegally even if they were! The solicitors have adversarial meetings which you are excluded from where they discuss where your case is going and how they are going to help each other get it there.
“What is going on in this country is sinister and this needs addressing urgently.”
