1:- IGNORE SOCIAL WORKERS !! Don't talk to them ,allow them in your house,assess you, or send you to the psychobabble merchants ! The "SS" have NO authority so you are not obliged to listen to them or obey them ! Never ask them for help,think very carefully before you report a violent partner(especially if the abuse is only verbal) or even a sexual molester(especially if the children beg you to say nothing) as once social workers or police are involved you risk losing your children for "failing to protect them" Never let social workers in your house without an appointment,,never go alone to any meetings they hold,never agree to voluntary care for your child,never admit to any fault (they don't!),never be rude or unfriendly to them,but never obey them either!NEVER,NEVER sign anything even when they pressure you!Remember social workers are not police,and have no legal authority to give you orders as only a court can do that . They cannot stop you seeing your children as they come out of school or receiving emails from any public library,or receiving reverse charge calls from any call box if they dial 100 unless you have been served with a specific court injunction forbidding all contact. IF the "SS" threaten to take your children for adoption,make sure they never forget you .Hug them tight at "last contact" so they cannot easily be removed while you repeat to them that wicked people are stealing them for money ,and to say no to adoption when they try to give them a horrible new mummy and daddy ! THIS AT LEAST SHOULD HELP TO SABOTAGE ANY UNWANTED ADOPTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND GET IN TOUCH LATER .Not many "adopters" will want to take in a child who has been told to say "NO" to adoption in any case ! 2:-Family Courts:- 99.7% of parents lose against the "ss" in court and those who win are usually those who represent themselves as most legal aid lawyers in family courts are "professional losers" not on your side at all ! .If you are a couple let one have a lawyer and the other act in person.State facts not opinions , never interrupt and you will at least have been allowed to speak unlike many parents who lose their children to adoption for life without saying a single word ! Answer all questions from police or barristers whenever possible by "yes","no" or "I don't know" and never complain about any social worker or police officer in court.Never say there is a conspiracy against you,say instead that social workers try desperately to COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES in your case and that civil servants are notorious for trying to cover up mistakes rather than admit them ! 3:- Only agree to using the parents assessors,psychologists, and other professionals who are listed on this site as contacts (find them just after the golden rules).Avoid the so called "professionals" selected by the "ss" who are regularly paid outrageous fees to discredit you ! 4:-Remember there is no forced adoption in Ireland (no passports needed on the ferry) ,Spain,France,or Italy and no extradition from N.Cyprus! Escape legally (nobody can stop you!) whilst pregnant or well before court proceedings have started and you will be safe ! YES THEY CAN BE BEATEN Child Protective Social Services were originally set up to protect children from neglect, harm and abuse. But like all organisations they have now become corrupt. Using vast powers that they are given they often bully weak and vulnerable people resulting in The Children being taken away from them. This could all be avoided simply by working with the families and identifying the problems and finding solutions. But this is too much for them and they would much rather take the easy option of removing the children from the family home settling them with Foster Parents that the tax payer pays a lot for. Finally getting them adopted out where the children have little chance of ever seeing their real parents again. Some people are under the misconception that there is nothing you can do against them. Well you would be right unless you have a good solicitor courts will rubber stamp the paperwork and file it under case closed!!! When it gets that far you have little chance of ever getting your children back. But you can do things to help it not get that far. Some people think by sweet talking them and doing what they say that your kids will stay with you. YOU WOULD BE WRONG!!! What you never do is give in. You never make it easy for them. You always make sure there is a witness to everything that is said encase they twist your words and try and make you out to be a liar. You insist on the minutes of all meetings. You make your own notes and if necessary get Social Services to sign each page to prove that they agree with what was written. Less
