Social Services Plead Insanity. By Ian.

Social Services plead shortage of staff and financial resources as excuses for overlooking torture of children (even after 60 visits to Baby P). In other European countries they take children from parents only if they have been severely physically or sexually abused but in Britain we waste most of out valuable resources fighting cruel cases in secret and costly courts to remove children and even new born babies at “risk of emotional harm” and for similar lesser reasons. The parents of Baby P would never have gone to court to fight for his return if he had been taken earlier as parents that violently physically abuse their children avoid courts like the plague!
Physical torture KILLS KILLS KILLS!!! Emotional abuse does NOT Poor school attendance does NOT A cluttered house does NOT Witnessing domestic violence does NOT Hostility to the “professionals” does NOT A parent with learning problems does NOT
Where therefore should the “SS” priorities lie?
I’m only asking!!
I would have thought myself it was MORE IMPORTANT to concentrate on preventing babies being tortured rather than the more common rush to remove babies AT BIRTH from mothers whom some highly paid psychobabble merchants have decided may at some future date emotionally harm their babies!Crystal ball gazing?

What is a Grandpa.

A Grandpa is.......
A Grandpa, knows everything, how the world was made and how to do my sums,
He can build a house, make the garden grow, and tell me when the Spring will come.
He shows me how to plant the seeds, to water them and how to look after them,
The sun will make them grow and grow, pretty colours, smelling sweet, I'll draw them with my pen.
How does he make me feel? We laugh, we cry,he makes me feel so safe,
He looks at me with his smiling eyes, I can just reach up and kiss his face,
Whatever I do, wherever I go I will always be in his heart, and he in mine,
I can come back, run to his arms, rustle his hair and all will be fine.

Poem

I posted this on the forum, thought it might raise a spirit or two, will have to write one for all our fab Grandpas now!!!!!
What is a Gran.

A Gran is like a big armchair,
Someone who listens and cares.
She is wise and never judges,
Just there with caring nudges.
A Granddaughter is like a huge sunflower,
Always smiling, is her power,
Bright and lively, never still,
Her birth was such a thrill.
Where has it all gone wrong,
Just to hear her pretty song,
I would give anything, to hear her sing,
To hold her hand, is everything.

To My Child or Grandchild

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.


Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.


Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.


Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles...


Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream van, and I will buy you one if he comes by.


Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.


Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.


Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys..


Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.


Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.


Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit and count all the stars.


Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV shows.


Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.


I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.


And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day...
