6^th March 2012: Innocent Parents are demanding their Children Back

Tuesday March 6^th is the anniversary of founding One Voice for the Kids [i] who launched the protest that has been picked up by 38 countries so far.

The protest has become necessary, as the number of children taken into ‘care’ has risen to over 900 a month [ii] in the UK. The family dramas created by Social Services are legion, while the parents who are dragged through secret family courts hardly ever win their children back, and certainly not, once they have been adopted.

In the UK, the secrecy that surrounds hearings in family courts was legally enshrined by the Children Act 1989. An online petition [iii] to lift it, has given rise to over 800 signatures and over 12,000 page views so far. Some 1,200 signatures collected by hand had been handed to Welsh Assembly member Bethan Jenkins by the originator Jane Davies in Carmarthenshire.

On 6^th March, a demo is organised outside the Welsh Assembly from 10am to 3pm by David Paul Jenkins who had taken three sons from him. He founded Families fighting for Justice [iv] and publishes Forced Adoption [v] on Facebook.

On the web, Forced Adoption [vi] is published by former local councillor Ian Josephs who is running a language school in Monaco and has helped hundreds of mothers and families.

In Westminster, the Association of McKenzie Friends [vii] has organised meetings with Austin Mitchell MP and John Hemming MP. His campaign group Justice for Families [viii] has over 1,600 case stories on file. In his interview with Edge Media TV [ix], the MP says “Social Services are succumbing to Government pressures and OFSTED ratings. They get involved when they shouldn’t and they don’t get involved when they should. It is an evil system.”

The Education Select Committee [x] is currently investigating ‘child protection’ and has received two submissions on behalf of victims of ‘child snatching’ aka ‘state kidnapping’: a general overview [xi] and a portfolio of nine cases [xii].

Victims of the child snatching system are threatened with prison, if they break ‘reporting restriction orders’ or ‘injunctions’, aka ‘gagging orders’. In May 2011, The Independent published The untold story of gagging orders [xiii] referring to 69 cases relating to celebrities and 264 to children and young adults.

The Telegraph published on 3^rd December 2011: Behind a wall of secrecy, parents who lost their children, are now in jail [xiv] – Lord Justice Wall has personally taken over two curious and troubling cases: Vicky Haigh [xv] whose daughter has been abused by her father is sentenced to an unbelievable three years imprisonment for supposedly violating a ‘non-molestation order’.

The Nigerian couple [xvi] whose six children were taken by Haringey Council are in prison since 29^th November 2011, without being given bail. Meanwhile, their children are supposed to be offered for adoption. However, already in December 2010, The Telegraph published: “A council whistleblower has said that, at a recent case conference, the social workers admitted that maybe they had made a mistake, and that the mother they had falsely accused was in fact devoted and blameless. But apparently, because of “press interest” in the case, the officials agreed that the council could not afford the very damaging publicity which might follow if the unhappy children were reunited with their parents. It was therefore vital that the council should continue to justify its actions.”

While Christopher Booker has been the most consistent reporter writing about the issue in The Telegraph, other mainstream media published stories about Social Services have been Sue Reid in the Daily Mail and Camilla Cavendish of The Times. They are both offering their support for the world wide protest, while the online community promises to be much more effective.

A splendid example is the video Anonymous vs Social Services [xvii] announcing Operation Social Services Activated – with a demonstration on Saturday, 3^rd March, 1pm – 4pm, in Haringey Council, by most experts considered to be the worst of all councils.
