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.

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
