You've made it abundantly clear that you are relaxed about child abuse, and happy to support abusers. Troll school called whilst you were defending the indefensible. They said that this wasn't the most convincing of your new identities. They graded you as C-, must try harder.  There is no evidence that he abused his kids i know for a fact parents smack their children yet social services let them get away with it but its not alright for this dad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

loraward   10 #65 Posted March 30, 2015 We're you in the court to listen to all the facts and pick up on the nuances from witnesses giving their testimony, or like the rest of us, just picking up selected tidbits printed in a not so very accurate local rag?  Like the rest of you all I have seen is what is in the press and it doesn't say he abused his kids, or was found guilty of physically abusing his kids.  The kids appear to have been snatched by social services because they don't like his opinions on corporal punishment, and corporal punishment used by parents is not illegal.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-14927898 Nearly half of parents of secondary school children say corporal punishment such as the cane or slipper should be reintroduced, a survey suggests.  That's half of all parents that according to this ruling should have their kids taken into care.

Obelix   11 #66 Posted March 30, 2015 The Dad sounds like a domineering bully.  Indeed I think the judge said so.  The issue here reading between the lines is not the smacking. There is far more going on - the father sounds like some Dickensian Gradgrind-esque character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As it happens I am close to a case where the father has just been granted the right to have his now 4yr old over the weekends (when social workers don't go out unless the child is dead, or as near as!) because apparently this is the age when boys in particular need to learn to identify with their father. By doing this, the Judge, but more importantly, the Social Services, have condemned this child to the druggie thug culture, thieving and violent world of his father, knowing that the man has several convictions, not least the one for assaulting a taxi driver, as well as the fact that he abused and assaulted the mother in front of the child and knocked the child to the other side of the settee resulting in a bloody nose and cut lip! There is much more involved in this case but I'm not going to bore you with that. I would though, like to stress that although I blame the Social Services as a body, my concern is that they are seriously understaffed and cannot therefore spend the time that is desparately needed to properly evaluate each individual case.  ---------- Post added 31-03-2015 at 01:41 ----------  I have already posted a small amount of the available evidence which supports the fact that they do actually whip children away parents for no good reason.
