Sam Thomas and her baby in Ireland

The link is to Fabulous. That is the News of the World's magazine.

I am not sure the link will last for ever. Hence I have extracted some of the article.
As they count down to their due date, most mums-to-be are busy putting the finishing touches to the nursery and packing their hospital bags.

But not 19-year-old Sam Thomas. In the last weeks of her pregnancy, she became so terrified the British authorities were planning to take away her baby, she fled 262 miles from her Somerset home to Wexford in Ireland, where 7lb 5oz Ellie-Jay was born on September 30.

"She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. She makes everything I've gone through worth it," says Sam.


I am the MP referred to in the article. What is important about this is that it was another case where a baby was scheduled for removal at birth. Providing all the information to sensible authorities (and remember that a Social Worker from Somerset went to Ireland to argue for removal at birth) results in a sensible decision.

My advice to anyone running to keep their baby is to have things checked out and make sure that they provide all the information to the authorities where they are going.

We have contacts in a number of places who will support mothers (and fathers) who are running to keep their children from being stolen by the state. In Ireland there is a charity that will provide a small amount of funding as well.

I have scanned the article and placed copies of the scan onto the facebook group dedicated to this issue here.

I did not realise the SS sent a representative over to Ireland, do you have more details on this?

What things do you mean to get checked out?

If people are running away,might the SS start to appear later on near the birth time so they dont stand a chance.

SS are devious and like to think they are one step ahead of the parents.

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).
