secret family courts, good website for info
My name is IAN JOSEPHS . Social services have never hurt me,my family,or my friends,but their wicked abuse of power has simply shocked me into action ! Many will say that I overstate and exaggerate my case thereby undermining it.I promise you that on the contrary I am understating it as things are now far worse than the public could possibly imagine or accept as credible if I revealed all ! This is the situation!! 1:-There really are SECRET COURTS in the UK. 215 MPs of all parties signed the "early day motion" below. EDM 869 WORKING OF THE CHILDREN ACT 2004 26.10.2005 This is a website i found and i urge you to go and read it, there is a lot of information on there (too much to add here) about forced adoption and the secret family courts.
This is the situation!! 1:-There really are SECRET COURTS in the UK. 215 MPs of all parties signed the "early day motion" below. EDM 869 WORKING OF THE CHILDREN ACT 2004 26.10.2005 Pickles, Eric That this House urges the Government to remove the veil of secrecy from the workings of the Children Act 2004; considers that the closed door policy of the family courts breeds suspicion and a culture of secrecy which does nothing to instil confidence in those using them, which affects not just the courts but the social services departments of local authorities; and believes that it is possible to preserve the anonymity of children involved in the proceedings without the cumbersome rules which obstruct parents from receiving advice and support, which in particular works to the disadvantage of parents with special learning difficulty. 2:;-These courts take children from loving parents who have committed no crime. 3:-These parents lose their children for ever to adoption by strangers. The children adopted are refused access to records of their birth parents or siblings at least until they are 18, and usually for the rest of their lives; 4:- Parents are GAGGED and regularly sent to prison in secret proceedings if they reveal what went on in court. 5:-Establishment judges make decisions to take thousands of babies for risk of possible future emotional abuse. (Extract from The Times, Aug 23 2007: Emotional abuse has no strict definition in British law. Yet it now accounts for an astounding 21 per cent of all children registered as needing protection, up from 14 per cent in 1997. Last year 6,700 children were put on the child protection register for emotional abuse, compared with only 2,600 for sexual abuse and 5,100 for physical abuse. Both of the latter two categories have been falling steadily. Meanwhile emotional abuse and neglect - which replaced the old notion of grave concern in 1989 - have been rising. Both are catch-alls. But emotional abuse is especially vague. It covers children who have not been injured, have not complained, and do not come under emotional neglect .) 6:-No jury would take babies from mothers because some expert made predictions of their future behaviour. (Extract from The Sunday Times, Nov 18th 2007):A review is still going on of 700 cases in which bogus forensic scientist Gene Morrison gave evidence. Morrison, 48, from Manchester who was sentenced to five years for fraud in February, admitted he pretended to be an expert witness and bought his qualifications on the internet because it seemed easier than getting real ones. For many of the genuinely qualified experts, legal work is a lucrative sideline, and if they are perceived to be able to tailor their evidence convincingly, the commissions keep flowing in. John Hemming, a Liberal Democrat MP campaigning about the misuse of medical evidence, says fees for a basic written opinion, based on reading through existing files, start at £4,000. If the expert concludes there is a case to answer, they attract court attendance fees as well. I have known experts get as much as £28,000 for one report, said Hemming, who is lobbying for experts to be required to produce the scientific publications on which their opinion is based: Unless we start using evidence-based evidence in court, we will get nowhere. ) 7:-Criminals facing 6+ months in prison can demand a jury;parents losing their children for life cannot. 8:-Pregnant mothers with no criminal records or disabilities are told their babies will be taken at birth! 9:-Local authorities are rewarded by central government for reaching "adoption targets" hence adoption is prioritised. 10:- Fosterers get up to £400/week/ child,special schools up to £7000/week,adoption agencies,experts lawyers all cash in lavishly! SO :- What to do? - Stop the secrecy and the gagging of parents. - Stop adoptions of children for emotional abuse or for "risk",and open adoption records to children already adopted. - Stop judges deciding cases of long term fostering or adoption,and give juries the final decision. - Stop excessive rewards for those who live off the misery caused by this wicked system! This would be a very very good start! Here are 4 important questions that SHOULD be answered by social services or by family court judges but which have so far been systematically ignored ! 1:- Why do family courts gag parents forbidding them to reveal details of proceedings after they have had their children taken for forced adoption by family courts? Surely the right to protest against a perceived injustice is fundamental in any democratic country.? 2 A minister admitted in parliament that family courts imprison more than 200 parents every year with no public hearing ! Surely prison sentences ,often for as long as 2 years, without public trial should happen only in dictatorships not in a democracy such as the UK?. 3:-Why do family courts take children and newborn babies for adoption just because a hired "expert" makes a "prediction" that one day in the future there may be a "risk of emotional harm from their parents.? Parents (and their children) are punished not for anything they have done but for something some "expert" thinks they might do in the future! How can this be justice? 4;- A burglar facing 6 months or more in prison can demand a jury so why should a jury be denied to parents who risk losing their children for life? Few juries would take babies for adoption by strangers just because an "expert" said there was a "risk of emotional abuse" .Records show however that family court judges play safe and nearly always "go along" with social services no matter what the parents say.How can it be fair or just to allow a jury to hardened criminals but refuse one to a loving mother who only seeks to care for her own children? The 4 obvious reforms would be:- 1;- Remove the gag from parents involved in family court proceedings 2:-Forbid judges in the family courts to imprison any parent without a public hearing. 3:-Abolish "risk" as a reason to remove children from a sane parent unless in addition to risk it can be clearly shown and proved that such children have already suffered significant physical harm. 4:-Any parents facing the possibility that their children could be removed for long term fostering or adoption without parental consent should have the right to demand that the final decision be made by a jury not a judge. Re K D [1998] 1 AC p.812 letter B Lord Templeman stated; The best person to bring up a child is the natural parent. It matters not whether the parent is wise or foolish, rich or poor, educated or illiterate, provided the child’s moral and physical health are not endangered. Public authorities cannot improve on nature My comments on the recent House of Lords debate concerning identification of sperm or egg donors are as follows:- All the noble Lords and Ladies seem preoccupied with children conceived by sperm donors or egg donors and the rare possibility of siblings adopted by different families meeting by chance at a later date and marrying ! They completely ignore the most flagrant injustices of all ,those thousands of babies and young children forcibly adopted against the will of parents who love them and want to keep them.These babies and young children are then issued with new fake birth certificates by a conniving and deceitful State ! So called "experts" in the secret family courts make crystal ball type predictions of "risk of future emotional harm" or "risk of neglect" .Few families can defend themselves against future "predictions"so compliant family court judges almost inevitably "go along" with social service requests that the children be placed for adoption with strangers!Even when very rarely,parents are cleared by the courts ,once the adoptions have been rushed through they are forbidden to know where their children are or to have any contact with them whether the children want it or not ! A parliamentary question revealed that more than 200 parents a year are secretly jailed for daring to reveal details of those who accused them in court or for contacting their own offspring contrary to a court order.Parents are often forbidden from knowing whether their offspring are alive or dead ,and if the latter they usually find out a very long time after the deaths occured. Children are all too often split up and adopted by different families. This must be contrary to their human rights as all too often they are forbidden to contact their siblings and may not even know of their existence .If many years later a child needs a replacement kidney or bone marrow transplant the birth family records are rarely revealed and very often declared "lost" .so the unfortunate child whose needs are supposed to be "paramount" is in fact callously left to die for want of a family donor ! No complicated Bill is needed to remedy this situation. Quite simply every child should have access to their original and truthful birth certificate clearly identifying parents where known whether they be natural or donors. The State should outlaw the production of deliberately fake birth certificates and should tell all chilren the truth about their parentage when asked.Forced and closed adoptions are a fairly recent invention and once again parents should never be deprived of knowing where their children are, or worse still jailed for trying to find out! link to website here
