I was thinking about the purpose of CS and the concerns they have in any situation. I've read a lot now here and piecing it together. CS have checklists to be satisfied, courts aren't just there for them, but the public and you too. You can work in alignment with the agenda of child protection. Can ...

PerfectlySafeDad, nobody has the bond or love for a child that natural parents have for what they worked so hard to bring into the world. Yes, if any child is in clear and present danger, they must by all accounts be rescued immidiately. As you say, most cases are stretched beyond realism and into t...

Isn't it acceptable that a spouse can be both supportive of their convicted other and protective of their child or children? I'd have thought that supporting the offender would have a more positive impact on them and the child or children's psychological protection. I read your story and it was hard...

Dealing with social services and police can be frightening and tiring. Wearing you down and instilling fear in you is their most effective weapon against parents that they want to split up.

This mean...

Hi Suzie My question of concern is do child services get involved if an offender's convictions are spent under the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 with amendments 2014? She lives in England and I want to live with her. The 1974 act is UK wide, but England signed up for the amendments, while Sco...

Do child care services know of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act? Once a person's convictions are spent under law, do child care services work in line with the rehabilitation of offenders? Case in point, child on the way, past convictions of public indecency are spent and the individual considered...

Hi Sunshine I'm subject to notification requirements for public exposure offences. These are the basic notification requirements, I don't have any special conditions above these. My sister's ex boyfriend, the biological father of my 8 year old nephew and step father to my 3 year old niece called pol...
