How many former L.A.C Children have had their children removed by social services,

Mr D Ferguson (Account suspended) made this Freedom of Information request to Her Majesty’s Courts and the Tribunals Service

Waiting for an internal review by Her Majesty’s Courts and the Tribunals Service of their handling of this request.

From: Mr D Ferguson (Account suspended)

28 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

How many former L.A.C Children have had their children removed by
social services, using the factor that the parents had previously
been in care and or abused as children and therefore are posing a
future risk of possible emotional abuse?

And why it seems to be becoming a common factor,what does define a
future risk of possible emotional abuse given the fact that there
is no possible way of detecting whether anyone poses a future risk
of possible emotional abuse, and why this is being used for the
excuse to also remove the children of former victims of domestic
violence and child abuse.

Why are the Judges condoning this abuse of families and children,
through their lack of accountability to the Public and protection
of the staff, behind closed doors?

Yours faithfully,

Mr D Ferguson

cant or wont answer?

In 2007,local authorities in England applied for 8,173 care orders. 7,624 orders were made. 336 applications were withdrawn, 290 "no orders" decisions and 21 orders were refused.

In other words, the judgement of the social workers working for the council was so good, they were only refused by the judge 21 times (0.27%)

More importantly 93% of the time the judge merely rubber-stamped the care orders.

House of Lords - Down Lisburn Health and Social Services Trust. Baroness Hale of Richmond. Judgement

34. There is, so far as the parties to this case are aware, no European jurisprudence questioning the principle of freeing for adoption, or indeed compulsory adoption generally. The United Kingdom is unusual amongst members of the Council of Europe in permitting the total severance of family ties without parental consent. (Professor Triseliotis thought that only Portugal and perhaps one other European country allowed this.) It is, of course, the most draconian interference with family life possible.

Although kinship placements are supposed to be the preferred option in this country, only 1 per cent. of social worker-instigated placements ended up with kinship carers, compared with 45 per cent. in Denmark, for example(EVIDENCE given in parliament June 16th 2008 by Tim Loughton MP shadow minister for children)

Will be interesting to see if Medway Family Court takes any notice of Lord Justice Thorpe and Lord Justice Wall's criticisms, the latter ordered his comments to be circulated to family courts and adoption agencies across the land.
(Could his comments be referring to the Law of the Land)

The Lords appear to recognize that there is a clear difference between the LAW and legal child kidnap; there cannot be Lawful child kidnap.
