| Injustices During our lifetime we will come across injustices.
Many during our childhood that are often part of our learning
curve. As we get older however we learn there are those that
we can do something about, over the next page you will get to
hear about some of them and what you can do about them. No
matter how small your contribution is there are parts you can
play in helping make changes that can makethe right difference. You may have read in news papers or seen on the news about
a couple who had their children taken off them and have now
been but up for adoption because it was said they had low IQ’s
and therefore considered “not clever enough” to care for their
children. This unfortunately not an isolated case as I had
believed when the same thing happened with my brother and his
partner, there have been many cases such as these where at
least one parent was reported to have a low IQ, there have
also been reported cases of around 100 children removed from
there parents has social services felt they were too poor.
And others of parents going to social services for help and
support with their children and as in one case told “we don’t
have the funds to support you” and then had their children
taken off them and placed into care, many of these children
are either waiting to be adopted through forced adoption orders
or have already been adopted. For whatever reason some couples separate, some unlike others
can’t always fully move on because there are children involved.
A percentage come to amenable agreements in regards to the
children and their welfare and play an important part in all
aspects of their children’s’ lives. But there are those that
don’t and often involves long drawn out court cases fighting to
get even a little contact or the rights to have a say in what’s
best for your child to making sure your right to receive your
child’s school report is upheld. Sometimes having to fight the
laws too. Often these are not just something the parents them-
selves go through its effects extended family members too,
grandparents, aunties and uncles as well, there are more cases
of grandparents going to court in order to be able to be part
of their grandchild’s life. It’s my own personal option
regardless of your gender a good parent is a good parent, just
as there are bad ones are bad, being male doesn’t always mean
you are a bad parent and being female doesn’t always mean you’re
a good one either, what is in the best interest of the children
should always come first.
More and more over the years there has in most corners been
open talk about abuse towards children, physical, mental and
sexual all of which have long lasting effects on the survivors
of this abuse, both past and present. We have seen how laws have
changed to help combat this, bring those guilty to justice and
help prevent people getting into positions where they can harm
children, although there is still more that can be done. More
and more we are hearing about and from adults that have been
abused as children in children’s homes, some of which where run
by nuns and priest and many professionals that are still trying
to cover up that it even happen or that children had even
reported it in the first place. How the church won’t even
acknowledge it took place, even going as far as moving a priest
/ pastor / vicar to another parish rather than admit what he’s
done and turn them over to the police. Social workers have
resigned after reporting their finding because no one will
listen let alone act on that information. And these things are
still happening today; covers up are still going on.
Through out life there are those that we deem “job’s worth’s”,
those that spoilt it for others, one rotten apple that spoils
the barrel, but in many cases it does not have to be this way.
For example there are those social workers out there that do not
always do a good job of it, going into families where there’s no
need to or not doing enough to those that need there help, but
there are those that do a very good job. Let us not let that one
bad apple spoil the rest by removing them not removing the good
name of those that do good.
The links you will see below will send you to various support
groups and sites, from those supporting families who have had
their children unjustly taken from them, to sites telling you
of your rights in al aspects of family law and campaigning to
get them changed, to support groups for survivors.

some even adopted .Many have their own web sites/spaces Is it all just hype? Their way of dealing with
their guilt of lack of parenting skills? guilt
of having their children removed or were their
children unjustly taken? Read their stories and judge for yourself. JUST JUSTICE Protect Our Kids From SSD Stop Forced Adoption | ©One stop cafe 2005 |
