Do you think Social Services are legal Child Kidnappers?

Answer 1

Wait wait wait....ask one more time! Come on...just once more!? Pretty please? I'm not answering it until you ask it again.

Answer 2

Have you had a bad time with social workers lately? I noticed all your questions are of a similar theme.
Social Workers are agents of social control if they work for local authorities (not all do, some work for the private or voluntary sector). Not all work in Child Protection, they may work for Community Mental Health Teams, Prison Service, Substance Misuse Services etc.
I worked as a social worker in Child Protection Services, I left due to poor resources and over stretched teams. Social Workers are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't act in a child protection situation, even though Families, Communities, NHS, Local Education Authorities, Youth Offending Teams, Substance Misuse Services, Health Visitors, etc all have a collective responsibility in child protection/welfare. I am glad I am out of that profession!

Answer 3

Just because you can make a child doesn't mean you should raise one.

Sometimes children need to be taken away from their parents. Sometimes their parents are not equipped to take care of them.
I don't think it would be fair for the child to suffer because the parent lacked foresight in bringing them into this world.

I do not think child services are legal child kidnappers. If anything they remove children from potentially dangerous volatile situations.

Answer 4

As a person , that grew up in Social Services , I know

They may have the right ideas , but thats about it

My childhood was stolen from me by these so called do gooders

I whould never agree with any child being placed in there care.

Yes I know people say this and that , protect the children , but let me tell you , things go on in children's homes you whould not even think about

And when they have done there so called care , they disguard you as you whould your rubbish

Answer 5

Sometimes. They sometimes stick their collective oar into matters which they do not understand, disrupting families on a mere prejudice.

You might think I joke (and as this has never happened to me, I can only offer the caveat of vicariousness), but you try being a Pagan - not to mention a Witch - with children when there is a scare story about ritual Satanic abuse. Some do-gooder social worker gets it into his/her head that Pagan=Satanist=abuser, when anyone with actual knowledge of Paganism will tell you Pagans and Satanists, and to an extent Pagans and abusers, are diametrically opposed, and you have a big problem.

It is not unknown, also, for Governments to use the Social Services as a tool to manipulate people into certain types of behaviour. And I'm not just talking about Stalinist dictatorships either...

Answer 6

I feel you may be undergoing some form of investigation at this time and maybe this forum is not the place to vent your frustrations with a service that if it fails to protect a child is pilloried as useless and ineffectual, but when it does do its duty to protect, is questioned on its legallity to do so!

I pity the social worker I truly do!

Answer 7

No. I think children who believe they're adult enough to have sex should be required to be adult enough (and responsible enough) to be parents. And when the parents demonstrate through word and action that they're not fit to raise and care for children, the children should be taken away and placed where they will be properly cared for. BTW, any person that has children who is not responsible enough to raise them and care for them is a child who is not behaving as an adult and is NOT a parent. No one is guaranteed the right to have children by The Constitution, and you sure as heck don't have the right to abuse, maltreat, or neglect a child. Take care of them or get them taken away.

Answer 8

Well let's see. If you knew that a child was being abused or neglected, what would you prefer? That the child stayed with it's abusers or that there were people who were able to take the child somewhere safe?

Answer 9

No, social services are there to protect the rights of children from their abusive and unfit parents. Thank god we live in a society that has that.

Answer 10

absolutely!!!
and as long as their budget is directly connected to the number of children they remove from homes, the cycle will continue.
i would also like to know percentage of social service workers who were once under investigation or lost their child to them, but are now employed by them after undergoing "training" (indoctrination)

Answer 11

No. I believe they are way too slow in removing children from homes that are so awful I would not make my enemy live in. Some parents should never even be near children.
