The real scandal hidden by gags is what goes on in family courts - Telegraph
The walls of secrecy surrounding snatched children are creating a one-sided justice system, argues Christopher Booker.
In all the fuss about the secrecy of our courts – after MP John Hemming named a footballer in the Commons – the point where the issue began has been almost entirely lost. Mr Hemming’s concern stems from his longstanding campaign to expose the secrecy surrounding our family courts, where one of the most shocking scandals in Britain today is flourishing, out of public view. This is the increasing number of children who are seized by social workers from loving, responsible parents, thanks to a system which often defies basic principles of justice, humanity and common sense. For example, last week, a woman was warned by a judge that if she raised her case with John Hemming or with a local MP, she would be imprisoned – contrary to one of the most ancient rights of a citizen.

The family justice system is callous, corrupt and staggeringly expensive

David Norgrove's interim review of the family justice system only scratches the surface of what has become a national scandal, says Christopher Booker.
A quick flip through last week’s interim review of our family justice system might suggest that all is not entirely well with our family courts. The “system is not working”. It needs “significant change”. “Children and families do not understand what is happening to them.” The time taken to resolve cases is “little more than scandalous”. “Some cases should not be in court at all.” “The costs are huge.” “These are symptoms of a situation that cannot be allowed to continue.”

The right to family life - invoked to get a burglar out of prison, or a celebrity granted a super-injunction - is denied to many children, says Christopher Booker.
At half past 10 one night, the week before last, several cars drew up outside a family home “somewhere in southern England”. A 12-year-old girl was asleep in bed upstairs. Earlier in the day, she had been fetched home from school because she was ill. Also in the house were her disabled father and her two brothers, in their twenties. One of them, I am told, recorded the events on video as the house filled with eight policemen, helping two social workers to drag the girl to a car. She was crying and protesting, “What have I done wrong?”

Two shocking cases of children taken into care on the flimsiest pretexts.
The latest official figures show that the number of children being taken into care by social workers (now averaging more than 800 a month) has soared in the past two years by 41 per cent, to its highest ever level.
In many of these cases, it seems that children are torn from their parents for no good reason, to such an extent that this has become one of the most disturbing scandals in our country today.

Whatever happened To The OTHER Isabella Switched at Birth In Nashua, NH Hospital? Documentation include's Testimony of DCYF Worker Melissa Deane
Whatever happened To The OTHER Isabella Switched at Birth In Nashua, NH Hospital?
As you all know, I posted a post on my blog pertaining to my granddaughter Isabella being switched at birth at a Nashua, NH Hospital. If you haven't read the post, it is located on the right side of my blog-http://unhappygrammy-grandparentsblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/nashua-nh-hospital-gave-new-mother.html.
Though my daughter talk's about her stolen daughter every so often these day's, it's a very painful subject for her. The loss of her daughter has been the most painful experience of her life, which makes it very hard to question her about detail's or her and Isabella's horrible ordeal.
I took a chance and questioned her yesterday. I asked her if she remembered the name of the mother of the other Isabella who was switched with her Isabella. She sat and thought a few minutes and then it came to her. She knew who the mother was. She knew the baby was sent home with her grandmother. And as far as she know's, there was no DCYF involvement. Probably because her family has money and DCYF only steal's healthy babies. She also knew the mother served time in jail and was visited weekly by her daughter Isabella and to the best of her knowledge is raising her daughter now.
So why was my daughter REALLY reported to DCYF by the Social Worker from the hospital? I truly believe it was because the Nurse gave her the wrong baby and my daughter flipped out. She was reported to DCYF the same day of the baby switch. She was then treated like the scum of the earth, as well as the rest of her family. The Social Worker told DCYF Isabella was withdrawing and my daughter had illegal drug's in her system, even though the Toxicology report came back two day's after her false report. The Report that show's Morphine in Isabella's system. The MORPHINE THE HOSPITAL GAVE MY DAUGHTER BY IV FOR NINETEEN HOUR'S because the baby was PLACENTA-PREVIA. MORPHINE GIVEN IN LABOR THAT SPILL'S INTO THE BABY>(See Documentation below.) Even the head of the Hospital admitted Isabella was perfectly healthy and was NOT withdrawing. She stated she would handle the hospital staff for their wrong doing, but we would have to fight DCYF ourselves. Also, please see below a page out of the Probate Court transcript where my daughter's Lawyer questioned the DCYF Assessment worker, who admitted she didn't know my daughter was given MORPHINE in labor and also testified as to what the hospital social worker told her on September 2nd, 2 day's before the Toxicology Report was back. Almost six year's later, we're still fighting for Isabella's return.
