Whenever I report a new story of parents struggling to prevent social workers seizing their children for what seems no good reason, I try to give a new slant on the wider picture of how our ”child protection’’ system has gone so tragically off the rails.What makes this week’s example so unusual is that it centres on a barrister who for 10 years fought hundreds of cases on behalf of parents trying to hold on to their children, in a system where she describes them as being “like lambs led to slaughter” – only to find herself a victim of the same system after she complained to the police over serious allegations made by her older daughter against the girl’s father.

The police called in Barnet social services, who initially shared the mother’s concerns, advising that the girl should have no more contact with her drug-addicted father. But when a new social worker took over, she took the opposite view, working for the child to live with the father. This made the girl so miserable that she took to self-harming by slashing herself, leaving her mother distraught.

The more the mother expressed unhappiness about the situation the social worker had created, the more she was told she was being ”obstructive’’ and that there were “concerns about her parenting”. Last December she was summoned to a meeting to be told that the council wished to apply for care orders on both her children. Knowing how automatically the courts grant such orders, the mother – who although British was also an Israeli citizen – saw her only hope of retaining her children was to escape to Israel.

Within 36 hours, having obtained written permission from the older girl’s father, she took her daughters, now aged 14 and five, on several flights across Europe, terrified each time they landed that she might be arrested by police.

Scarcely had they arrived in Israel than she heard that the council had been granted care orders. Barnet approached our embassy in Tel Aviv to arrange for the children to be deported to Britain, with the co-operation of Israeli social services. After assessing the family, however, the Israelis advised that they could see no reason why the children – now having nightmares about being returned – should not remain in Israel.

The baby was returned later after a matter of weeks, but was stolen again on even more dubious allegations on June 28th 2011, and the parents have not seen the baby since that date. The baby’s removal, like the entire case, needs an honest investigation away from the entities already involved…. contd. at: http://truth-wars.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,68.msg125.html#msg125

“Of all the SS child snatching films I have watched this has to be the most distressing I have seen, I became so angry with emotion that I couldn’t stop crying. This is the cruel social services at their worst, at their most evil, at their most heartless. You will notice that once they had forcibly grabbed little Ben they were out of the door like a flash, leaving the grieving mother to cope with her distress on her own, with no care for her, no remorse and no doctor on scene to help the poor woman. This is what our country has come to, this is child snatching at its most extreme. If I had been there I’m sorry to say that if I had a gun I would have used it, this film was that upsetting to me, and no I’m not crazy, I just care too much. If you care then please make this go viral and share it like I have and make your own comments too. Dear God help all our little children and protect them all from the wickedness of the Social services scum that steal kids from innocent parents.”
