You're correct, they definitely don't have time or the manpower, and seems your case is not regarded as serious enough to merit their attention. This is better than the opposite for sure. The thing that upsets me, though, on your behalf (and similar in mine) is that instead of backing out cleanly th...

This is very inspiring and informative, thanks Broken, although sad progress has to come in such a way. It's all very well for people to advise 'work with them', 'allay their concerns' etc, but when their concerns are not reasonable and their way of working is shambolic, cruel and protracted, this m...

Reading this lot, it speaks to me that 1) the system is such a dire combination of draconianism and shambles that in the work of social services nowadays in Britain there is no difference between 'support' and harassment. 2) they never have the humility to admit their many mistakes, for fear of bein...

It just goes to show how desperately confused society is, and so-called experts, on sex offences and the relationship between types of offence. It's dismal to behold, all the floundering, and seems that they can't work it out so instead the end result is they treat it all the same. The level of igno...

I'm under the impression that 'risk of re-offending' (where the offences are viewing images on the internet) is viewed by the entire safeguarding brigade as absolutely no different to risk of contact offence, or risk of any kind of sexual offence whatsoever including to one's own children. I hope I'...

We are still waiting to see the plan, been told they're drawing it up so we've lost a week of time that we could have been using to make 'progress'. We are also still living separately from daddy, have absolutely no idea what they expect of us going forwards. We also have no contact details for the...

'I will eat the wrong meal at a restaurant rather than make a fuss!' This is how they get away with so much. Many people suffering CS involvement in their lives are stressed to begin with, by the very nature of the problems, and the asinine and draconian methods of CS just add to it. People are frag...

Re. these 'professional' reports, 'independent' reports, 'expert' reports etc, it strikes me there is a lot of money in it for some. Safeguarding has become a veritable 'industry', with all the connections and economic relationships that the term embodies. Safeguarding long since burst its banks, it...

It's plain to see it's all about back-covering, with every agency everywhere, in every walk of life. There's an absence of any genuine compassion involved, for either you, the Dad or - most ironically - the children. It's on the latter basis that they might be able to be called to account one day. I...

Yep, much as I detest and fear social services - and with good reason I think, as it's evident you don't actually need to put a foot wrong to end up in one of their investigations, so God help you if you have done something wrong - the advisors on here (however many Suzie's there are) are just that;...
