Another mom on the run

This is not a case I know about. (see link)

A woman fled her Wearside home with her five daughters because she found out they were to be taken into care.

If, however, our care system was supportive and didn't just hammer families you would not have moms (and dads) going on the run so often.

In the 2nd reading debate people talked about how the system worked in other countries where the care system cooperates with families rather than hitting them with a judicial hammer. There is some cooperation in this country. However, far too frequently the system is simply at war with the communities it is supposed to serve.

I agree. Too often social services lie to people "oh don't worry we keep families together" to gain people's trust and then they find out the truth.

I had a period of temporary stress due to bereavement.It led to care proceedings after 3 weeks.

Now in a report it stated that if the sws had treated me properly then it may not have resulted in care proceedings,but they can't say for sure.
For 3 years since the nightmare period of respite,I have looked after my child with no concerns from anyone. Yet they can still say that care proceedings can be sought for a period of temporary stress. I find this incredible and has led me to have a fear of the children's services and to avoid them like the plague.
Legal advice is to never put your child into care or approach social services for help.

Far too many people are being diagnosed with personality disorders in these courts. I think there is a vast and fraudulent overdiagnosis of personality disorders by experts who are paid large sums of money to find something wrong with the parents in order to get their hands on their children.

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).
