  1. I doubt very much we have a large number of foster parents ready to take responsibility for armies of snatched up gypsy kids. An this is a very expensive process. Our social model is very disjointed and hap-hazard. Devoid of joined up thinking.

  2. That's not true anymore. Since the very sad Baby P case taking the kids away/disrupting family is the 'first response'.

  5. That is true. It becomes hard to follow some orders.

  6. Is that not the same for all the kids up the same road ? Their way of raising kids is not our way of raising kids. This is a problem not recognized by those who want us to be color blind and culturally ignorant. The Roma take kids to bare knuckle fights age 5+. We gonna put all those kids into care ? Taking kids used to be a last resort. But since Baby P its become a first response. We should be asking if that is right. Allot of the kids you might have rescued were the ones hurling bottles and bricks at the police. Placing kids in care is damn expensive. An does not always leads to better outcomes. Many Care kids end up sleeping on the streets, suffering abuse or end up in jail. I'm sure intent was good. An for protection. But its probably misguided. An the state is not going to get any thanks for it.

  7. As for family courts and CAFCAS. I have dealt with these people. They are not diligent and do not give people a fair response. Sadly from experience I would not trust any of their judgements.

  9.  @djbogz1921  Sun reader response. Not really very practical because every child removed in this way becomes a responsibility of the state to the tune of at least £38000 pounds. That's not including the cost of the parents you take the children from who become hostile towards the state or even destructive. Its just stupid. Carry on deleting informed comments.

  10. Is that a good thing? Would you let your neighbors have their kids snatched away. White folks would probably laugh at their misfortune. The state is always right until they get your case wrong.

  11. The state is always right. Until they get your case wrong.

  12. Has Baby P made the social services too reactionary and prone to over reaction. All children do stupid stuff. Is it a good thing to have the state snatching up kids as a first response.
