Social Workers gone amateur

  social workers are removing children from good family homes on much lesser grounds today than previous to the baby peter case, such as a refusal by parents to participate in their investigations/assessments or the fact a parent has a criminal record, a parent suffers a mental health illness, the child is naughty in school, autism, attachment issues, and children who become known to the police.
They are simply not good enough proportionate reasons to remove a child from their parents. removal from the parents must always be a very last resort, and must only be in the most serious of cases, unfortunately due to the baby peter case their is an outpouring of over-exagerations by social workers whom are simply playing the matter safe to avoid any future baby peter situations, in other words prevention gone badly wrong.
what will eventually come out of this in the next 10 years will be a committee parliamentary commision concluding that thousands of parents in this country had their children taken from them, un-necasarilly, wrongly and unproportionately.
Compensation will be claimed by the millions but that will never bring the parents their children back. the difference being the child may in some circumstances need help, but the parents may not, this is something social services are not willing to consider as their remit is to find blame and the only blame they apportion to a childs bad behaviour is the parents. that is wholly wrong. I was a terrible child, that had nothing to do with my parents. it was to do with the fact i suffered epilepsy and was misdiagnosed. many children show development problems but it has not always anything to do with parenting of the child.
