Times launches campaign on Family Justice

On Monday the Times will launch a campaign on Family Justice at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/familyjustice

They say:
I wanted to let you know that in Monday's Times, Camilla Cavendish will be starting a major campaign under the banner of Family Justice.

The Times is calling for family courts to be more open, and for childcare professionals to be accountable for their decisions.

The conclusion of her first article is: "To sever a child from its family without due cause is licensed state oppression of the worst kind. It is, in fact, child abuse."

We're supporting the campaign online
a) Running a survey to find people who have been involved with family courts and looking for clusters of concern.
b) Encouraging readers to write letters to their MPs using an online form.
c) Collecting useful links for parents and grandparents

I'd be grateful if you could link to the campaign homepage, and encourage your readers / members to get involved:

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
