C, a baby [2012] EWHC 2190 (Fam)

This judgment looks at the use of a voluntary agreement to put a child into care.

At the time of "agreeing" to this the mother had been medicated with Morphine. She was also told it was temporary when it has given rise to a forced adoption. In the end, however, it has still given rise to a forced adoption.

Parents are often bullied into accepting S20 agreements with the threat of court proceedings. This judgment doesn't really help.

I see the words 'Cassel' and Psychologist, so what is the true story.?

Approaching a patient who who has recently been given an anaesthetic is totally wrong. It needs no discussion. it is just plain wrong.

So true ! It looks like an opportunity for the judge to say : look, we use the article 8 when it is appropriate... We care about the mother human rights...

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

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.
