MPs should start taking all complaints and concerns being raised, by their constituents, in all matters to do with child protection in practice and in ongoing child care procedures,
very seriously!
The reality is that in this 'area' there is so much confusion that most MPs, if they were honest, would admit that there is a culture of 'Don't touch child protection or childcare procedure
cases with a barge-pole'
The MPs, like everyone else, who should be responding to raised concerns in individual cases, of this nature come up against a complete lack of 'obtainable information' or dare I say it, a proactive will on the part of the Local Authorites to use the Data Protection Acts and anything else they can to make sure that no information will be shared!
The length of time any bona-fide concerns, which should be being raised, in child protection and child care procedures, in practice, take to be addressed, is detrimental to the well being of many vulnerable children.

It is blatantly obvious that the social services are targeting families in order to met adoption targets set by the government.All such children must be returned asap.
The public are not that stupid and word is getting out , people are starting to take notice not that any family has ever trusted social servies in the first place.
Whilst they are lying in order to remove children who are not damaged and easier to adopt, children who are being abused are left to suffer.
Take a look at fassit and make up your own mind.

As an adoptive parent I think it is essential we find out exactly what is happening. I am concerned that there may be truth behind what groups like FASSIT have got to say and that adoption groups don't want to hear because some adopters are going to get hurt.

I know what it's like to not have a child and to want one very much. The one thing I can't give my son is that security of never having gone through the adoption procedure and I regret that very much. I can't bear the thought that even one or two children are being taken away wrongfully.
Is this going to be another scandal like the Canadian Home Children or can we find out the truth of the matter in time?

It seems perfectly reasonalbe to take children away from their parents to meet adoption targets, especially if they are a bit 'thick' or capable of 'emotional abuse'.

I would trust the Social Services every time, after all they don't make mistakes do they!
