The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it).
It has got into the Argyll News
Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week.
The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.

If you look at the safeguarding board,they always seem to consist of people who have worked or have connections with the local authority.
Most of the child deaths reviews come to the conclusion that there is nothing the LA could have done.
It is laughable.Maybe we could list all of the child deaths and list the quotes where the deaths could not have been foreseen.
Also there were 2 referrals to Social Services about this child,so clearly something could have been done if they did their job properly.
