Another Social Service blunder

Press release, immediate.

A granny that we have been supporting is demented by the treatment her daughter and granddaughter have been receiving at the hands of social services.

The granddaughter has been put into the care of someone who did not get on with her at all. Because of her unhappiness she lost weight, threatened to run away and was self harming. After numerous letters stating social services were interfering unnecessarily in the lives of this family. We finally got an answer from the chief executive of the council saying everything we asked for was now in place. The wee girl was back with her mother and the granny was in support of them a happy family once again.

The family was delighted, the wee girl was over the moon to be back home.

But !!! The nightmare goes on.

You can imagine the horror when two days after the good news letter social workers accompanied by two police officers went to the two youngest children’s school and removed them to a social services place of what you could only call interrogation. The older girl was also taken later on and put through the mill..

The accusation was the ex husband who has never been on the scene since they split up was said to have battered the children in retaliation for being dropped from the marriage.

This turned out to be an untrue malicious complainer and the social services could not apologise enough for the hassle caused.

TOO late!!! For apologies, the blundering social services ride again. Typically snatching children without real proof and putting them through hell. The children were terrified being taken away by all these people without their mother or granny.

This is the reason why we need the ‘Charter for Grandchildren’ made mandatory for professionals. The granny was perfectly able to look after her granddaughter, she is in full health, fit and has perfect accommodation but she was being ignored because she is an irrelevant person in her grandchildren’s lives and was repeatedly told so. When the granny spoke out about the treatment she was immediately labelled as uncooperative and ignored but this feisty granny was determined her family was going to get justice. With our support we hope this has come to pass.
