Tahla Ikram

Another non-white child is discharged from care to die at the hands of a step parent.

The link is to the BBC's questions in which they say:
The final decision on returning Tahla to his father was made by a judge.
This is the local authority hiding behind a judge again. The judges basically go along with the recommendations of the Local Authority and Guardian. When you have a particularly good Guardian they may have some independent judgment from the Local Authority.

When I say the system as a whole is corrupt and secretive that does not mean that it does not get some things right. Nor does it mean that all of the people working within the system are corrupt. Some clearly are. Some make decisions for all sorts of wrong reasons. Some, however, work for what they perceive as the best interests of the child. The corruption of the system arises from the failure of the checks and balances.

I have been absolutely devastated to learn about Tahla and his horrific injuries that resulted in his death. How can the authorities have allowed this to happen? how can these people sleep at night particularly the judge who returned Tahla back to his 'home'. The father and the lover of Tahla deserve to rot in hell. I'm heartbroken.

The judge merely followed the recommendations of the professionals.

The lesson from this is that the recommendations of the professionals are not really that reliable.

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.
