Child removal complaints soaring

Adoptions have increased dramatically since 1997
The number of parents claiming their children have been removed from them
unjustly has reached record levels, a BBC investigation has found.

Campaigners and MPs say they have found more than 100 cases where children
may have been put up for adoption without sufficient evidence.

They say social workers are rushing cases to hit adoption targets.

They also claim the secrecy of the family courts is stopping parents
properly challenging adoptions. ...

Anyone else pick up on the use of "it" to
refer to a specific baby in question
rather than some generic classification
where the sex is not specific.

One of the fathers and an adoption agency
woman ( or some other non-SW official )
 referring to specific cases

Just what social-workers are trained to
pick up at interview, as evidence of
"emotional abuse" "bonding failure issues" and
the other pseudo-psychobable

The number of child homicides has halved.

I suppose we can have the corollary.

Social Services bent over backwards to set up 3 month old Wayne Bennett with 
his parents, even though both were drug addicts.  One night when the mother 
was out on the game, the father [accidentally] smothered the infant to death 
in a freezing flat (freezing because they spent money on drugs instead of a 
electric card).

Social services were criticised by the press, neighbours and relatives (one 
of whom had written twice before the tragedy stating the parents were unfit 
to have custody).

I don't know about you, but in my book the balance goes preponderantly in 
favour of the child.

Oh, there's lots of anecdotes.  John Smith was taken into "care" by
social services because his father *might* have been a risk to him.
He was eventually placed with an adoptive couple where the husband
*was* a risk to him and subsequently killed him.

Couple jailed for child's death

The adoptive parents of a four-year-old who had 54 bruises and four bite
marks to his body when he died were yesterday jailed for eight years at
Lewes crown court, East Sussex. Simon and Michelle McWilliam of Southwick,
Brighton, had denied cruelty to John Anthony Smith, who died on Christmas
Eve 1999.

A case I raised with a professor of social work I got talking to, and she
responded by saying that only the cases that go bad, get reported.
