Dear Sir or Madam,
In the wake of the people speaking out against the abuses of the
secret family courts and forced adoption of children to strangers,
instead of being retained within their real natural families. I
would like to know how your authority compares to others in
fulfilling your responsibilities to families & their children.
(a) How many individuals have been taken to court by your authority
in-order to gag them. To stop them from speaking out about the
injustices they have suffered at the hands of the council
children's social services and secret family courts. Provide all
records to-date that are held.
(b) How much did these gagging order injunctions cost the rate
payer.
(c) Who is responsible for actioning these enforcement orders by
the council, i.e. who signs the applications for court.
(d) How many parents /relatives/individuals have received further
sanctions for breaking these gagging orders.
(e) Are any of these decisions to gag/sanction taken by unelected
local authority officers responsible for children’s social care,
finance, legal or any other relevant department.
(f) If councillors make these decisions at which meeting(s) are
these discussed.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Docherty
