Family Justice System: Petition

John Hemming:

I have an example of egregious behaviour by the family justice system to present.

The petition states:

The Petition of a British Citizen

Declares that a Local Authority has recently told a mother that she will not be allowed contact with her adopted child if she continues to protest outside the Family Court.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons urges the government to legislate to prevent Local Authorities from using control over contact with their children to prevent parents from protesting about the unfairness of the Family Justice System in England and Wales.

And the Petitioner remains, etc.

Does Parliament need to legislate on this subject? Surely a citizen has a right to protest guaranteed under the HRA? Has the Family Court committed to this gagging policy too - although the Family Courts regularly abuse human rights of both children and adults getting them to commit an order in writing preventing such a protest might be a toughie for the LA to perform.

I doubt the government would be interested in inacting any such legislation - even if it was needed - they are allowing the Family Courts to dig themselves into their hole day-by-day. I think the reason (Warning - conspiracy theory approaching!) is so they can justify the executive being able to excert more control over the judiciary in the future.

One thing Labour hates is judges bouncing their pet projects (anti-terrorism law, deportations etc.) Thanks to the Family Courts Divisions, if it becomes necessary the government will be able to justify being able to introduce laws to have, say, the facility for the government to have judges sacked, on the basis that the Family Courts Divisions are rogue, and only Government intervention could resolve the abuses. Seeing as the judiciary won't solve or address the problems - every Judge in the land is now vulnerable to lawful intervention from the State(and they thought Father4Justice were their biggest headache!)

The public won't accept the judiciaries bleatings about the threat to freedoms if the judiciary are rendered under the control by the State; all the government would do would be to drip-feed Family Court scandals to the media.

Why are babies born young?

Why are babies born young? This sounds like an odd question. People would say "of course babies are born young". However, this goes to the core of the question of human (or animal) development. Why is it that as time passes people develop initially through puberty and then for women through menopause and more generally getting diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer, but most of the time babies start showing no signs of this. Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin
