her 2 sons
are 6 and 9 years old.


[On Monday, Nottingham Family Court
ordered the two boys be removed
from the care of their mother.]


I can see why
the mother has gone off with her sons

I'd need more information to make a comment on this really. The courts / social services legitimately don't always get these things right, and if they tried to take my kids away based on an incorrect decision, you can bet your arse I would disappear with them too.

Over here in order for social services to take kids away from their mother it would have to be a pretty severe situation they're in with alot of proof which sometimes is also a bad thing

Such secrecy allows such institutions to get away with over-zealous behaviour. Social Services are often guilty of PC gone mad.

What does this even mean?

The family courts are PC gone mad?... Can you back up your references for this buzzword/nonsense phrase.

[Cherie]

The problem with social services is they are damned if they do and damned if they don't, we don't know the story here so can't really say if it's the right decision or not

A prime example is when social services leave black and mixed race chilren languishing in children's homes saying they should only be placed with black/mixed race families. Children suffered unnecessarily due to this PC Nonsence.

They shouldn't only be placed within their respective cultures, that's not a policy however it is preferable from the perspective of the child. It's not nonsense for them to have a shared racial/cultural history with their prospective parent is it?

The 'all you need is love' is quite a one dimensional view, on a deeper level we need to be aware of our racial/cultural roots.
I'm not saying white parents could not provide this for a Black/Aisian/mixed race child, ( or visa versa) but I'd say they should be aware of the need.

Does that actually happen?

[DemolitionRed]

Social Services often get things wrong but then Social Services are understaffed and overworked.
