Why we should avoid social services and NSCCP

The government is under continued pressure about the blundering incompetent Social Services and the First Minister is not a happy bunny. A little bird told me he did not want any scandals from social services during his reign.

So far the government appear to be no closer to coming up with any answers. Now social services, it appears, are making contacting with them as awkward and harassing experience as possible and putting people in fear of asking for assistance. Families are so terrified to approach them for fear of their children being taken away. Evidence has shown that the majority of families are reluctant to contact social services for their child policies of snatching, alienating then adopting children to strangers and bypassing the grandparents if the parents are not available.

The draconian measures they are producing is frightening people away from a service which used to be a caring and once gave support to families in times of trouble. Now they are coming up with gagging laws to shut anyone up that has come into contact with them.

It is a rigorous process vetting foster cares or adopters but it must be cheaper in the long run to adopt children.. Spending money on fostering children back and forth is just about out of the question and they don’t mess about now .Cost is their main concern.

If they consider the children are not in a safe place and not properly cared for, make no bones about it, the children will be removed and they will be groomed for adoption, with or without your consent, nearly always to strangers. But the problem is, all too often their judgement is wrong.

The social service’s concern is for the physical care of children (what the public sees) and the emotional, mental or spiritual side is not catered for, hence the reason it is said that children in care are low achievers lose their identity and self esteem and find comfort in gangs as a family substitute. With a start like that in young adulthood they find it extremely difficult if not impossible to rise above their situation..

This is the pattern the social services are following and it is not in the best interests of your children.

Are you getting the message? They don’t want you to contact them.

How to avoid Social Services.
Points to note.

1……If any parent/s or other caring for children are having problems with drink or
drugs

2…….If children are suspected of being neglected or abused.

3…….If there is disagreement in the family about the safety of children.

4…….If social services consider the children are in a place where they could be in
danger.

Try and resolve your differences between yourselves. Contact Family Mediation Services or groups like ours Grandparents Apart UK 0141 882 5658 If we don’t know, we will know a man or women that does.

The social services are not compelled to consider grandparents or extended family, because they are human.

1…….They have no legal rights to the children.

2…….They will often allow the children contact with the person/s that the social
service forbids costing them once again.

3…….Often grandparents speak up to social services, and then they are branded as
being uncooperative and then ignored.

4…….Grandparents are acknowledged as first class at early detection of child abuse
that is why they are alienated so much..

Getting help.

it is amazing what a family group conference can achieve. A mountain can be a molehill out of control. You must try to reach an agreement within the family. Try not to be in a position where social services need to be involved… Contact Family Mediation 0845 119 2020 Services or groups like ours Grandparents Apart UK 0141 882 5658

Please note. We really need social services unfortunately, if it is not within your own power to stop abuse when children are in real danger, please do not hesitate to call them or the police when you suspect abuse is happening.

If anyone in charge of children has an alcohol problem and cannot cope contact other members of the family and temporarily sign the parental rights and responsibilities over to the grandparents or a member of the family who is not having problems then seek help from alcohol or drug counsellors from your local advice centre.. This way if the person with a problem is in recovery then they can see the kids regularly for encouragement and when they resolve their problems they can have the kids back. If social services end up adopting them you will have no chance of getting them back.

  1. jimmy the secret is act as soon as possible the longer it go on the harder it is to get back go for mediation early dont sit back and say oh just leave them it will blow over
    that's my experience if it last's longer than say a month seek early mediation and to the person's that seek mediation dont go with the thought that the other side will appoligise go with the mind that say's lets forget what's happened,its happened its now forgotten the main thing is getting the the grandchildren back on track or if its husband and wife or partner please forget what you fell out over its in the past dont bring it up again forget it. shake hands have a hug anything that means forgive. and you can bet your bottom dollar that the person that was in the wrong will admit it was there fault any where it was yourself or them, if you dont believe me try it as the old saying goes THE LEAST SAID THE EASIER MENDED. LIFES TO SHORT. AS ITS THE CHILDREN THAT SUFFER ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WHY BECAUSE THE OFFENDED PARENT KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM /HER/THEM. THEY ARE TO FOCUSED ON REVENGE TO REALISE HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS THE CHILD/REN.
