Sally Clark - It's still happening

The most important point to note from the press coverage relating to the miscarriage of justice relating to Sally Clark (and Angela Cannings, Ian and Angela Gay and the prosecutions of Trupti Patel and Marianne Williams) is that this is still going on.

Firstly, parents are being prosecuted because doctors don't know what happened. Or indeed because doctors do know, but want to point the finger in a different direction.

Secondly, there are still people in jail who should not be.

Thirdly, it is far far worse in the Family Courts than the Criminal Courts.

I have spent some time studying the different aspects of the systems of family justice. That has involved dealing with individual cases in court and elsewhere. Gradually it is possible to see a wider picture of what is happening.

The system is an almost total disaster. The story today in the Sunday Mercury about the way in which Birmingham's Social Services failed a child because they ignored the child's grandparents - in contravention of a court order - is another example.

Childrens' Services across the country make very bad parents. It is, therefore, wrong to give them responsibility for children unless the situation of the children is otherwise very bad.

People should really ask questions why those children brought up in care have difficulty dealing with social workers and often have their own children taken "into care". That is because many of them end up hating Social Services (now Children's Services). That means that they react very badly when Children's Services get involved.

There are good social workers, but there are plenty who don't really care about the children they are responsible for. Ofsted are replacing CSCI and their priorities will be orientated towards increasing the baby broking aspect of Children's Services.

The whole area is dominated by experts' reports frequently based upon assertion rather than evidence. The experts make a lot of money and a lot of misery is created - particularly for the children.

With hindsight, this eminent Professor, Terry Hamblin, posted this message into his blog

24 hours after Sally Clark’s death. He deleted it, then reposted the same message 48 hours after her death. He then deleted it for good, but there was a Google cached copy, which has also been deleted. A permanent snapshot copy can be viewed here:

It is now on record that the deliberately erroneous, arrogant opinions of Professor Terry Hamblin may have marred potential referrals to him, which could be considered to be unsafe and not in the public interest in the event of his being called upon as an expert in his field.

This is the original Google captured page, which has been deleted.

NHS reorganisation No 3,493,233

Followers of my blog will have seen the NHS question about how many reorganisations have we had. We've yet another. The number of PCTs (Primary Care Trusts) nationally is to halve. This means merging East and North. (and then probably HoB and south). It would be nice if people would stick with one structure. There is a quotation ( Which sadly does not appear to be a true quotation ) We trained hard . . . but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. But has to have been originated by someone. The web link shown goes through the derivation which appears to be more linked to an anonymous British Soldier WW2 than any Roman or Greek General called by a name perming 2 out of (Gaius, Galus, Petronius and Arbiter).
