In the light of the above Somerset's Children's Service workers have clearly learned little.  Families report that over-zealous and even intimidatory Social work practices are being employed against families where "intervention" is unwarranted.

Why? 

The answer is simple and falls on two levels.  One is the inadequacy of the Social Workers themselves, seeking to only attack happy, loving families on fabricated and irrelevant issues, backed by so called "experts" - who generally are not "experts" at all and rubber stamped by the courts, because to deal with the real Children in danger may expose the Social workers to dangers of possibly dealing with  violent individuals etc.

On the other level, "damaged" children are far more difficult to place in foster care and/or get adopted.  Balanced, loved, well cared for children are so much easier to place and ensure the money keeps on flowing into the traffickers hands ...firms like Core Assets.

If you carefully scan the news you will see that Somerset is not the only Authority failing in this area, the vast majority are and it is the once hidden agenda that is now being exposed that is the basis for the failures.  For too long the Children's Act 1989 has been used illegally, targets for adoption, once writ large by the Government have since supposedly been removed, however they are there hidden in plain sight instead.

David Cameron's 2013 Tory Party Conference Speech made these targets quite clear :

And friends as we do all this, we’re remembering the most vulnerable children of all.
There are thousands of children every year who grow up in homes where nappies - and bedclothes - go unchanged...
...and where their cries of pain go unheard.
These children just need the most basic opportunity of all: a loving family.
Two years ago I told you about our determination to speed up adoption...
...and this past year, we saw record numbers finding permanent, loving homes.
4000 children adopted...
...that is 4000 more reasons to finish the job we’ve started.

 If that isn't a target I don't know what is!
 All this from a man who left his daughter behind in a pub, with no consequences whatsoever!

Of those 4000 how many were forced adoptions?
How many against the wishes of parents?

I'd wager probably the vast majority, afterall how many criminal convictions of parents can you think of for the ill treatment of children.....exactly, the high profile, small number of genuine cases of this neglect etc are few and far between.  Social workers are very skilled people, after all they are the only people I know who can genuinely see into the furure, as they often cite "future emotional harm" as a basis to remove children from loving parents. So the comparator is "thought crime".  It may happen, then again it may not....

The system is corrupt, it is trafficking children for profit and abusing families in the process, this country does not have Child Protection, it has a system of abuse.
