The Injustice of Cafcass

Legally Kidnapped: CAFCASS NOW IS THE TIME TO LISTEN

Up Date : 18th January 2010

A Damming report on Cafcass has just been released and it makes me wonder as to why Cafcass are still operating, the report reads like this:

Assessed lowest possible inadequacy including out of date management documentation failure:

Insufficient dialogue with children and family members about the report and the recommendations:
Case plans not shared with families, complaints not dealt with
unreliable data records, expected timescales not met.

Lack of due consideration of family breakdown
lack of consideration of protracted proceedings involving Cafcass
relating to health, education and household finances
and negative impacts on children

Inadequate consideration or training re ethnic/cultural diversity
inadequate consideration of domestic violence

Cafcass looks after the interests of children, or so they claim, here is a part of my story. I was divorced in 2004, I had been accessed by a Cafcass officer and given a very good report, In 2005 My X wife appealed against the judges decision because she claimed she did not have any quality time with our daughter, so I was assessed by Cafcass  a second time again I was given a very good report.

Then in 2008 my X stopped me from seeing our daughter (we had 50/50 care) she then takes liable action against me with a tirade of accusation, so here I am again being assessed by Cafcass for the 3rd time. The officer interviewed my X, then the following day he interview me, so guess what, he was bios against me, He had just interview a very bitter woman, his report rubbished me, one his statements “Mr Crawford is so defiant”. Like Mr Crawford is lying.

What would he expect from me when I know my X very well, having been married to her for 14 years and I also new she was lying through her teeth just to spite me. Because of this I have been unable to see our daughter for 21 months, I did make a surprise visit to a safe house where I new she be on Boxing Day. And saw her for 20 minutes.

Because of my X’s unfounded accusations and two 30 minutes court hearings all that has been discussed is, how I should have supervised meetings with my daughter, and how I should attend anger management classes. TWENTY ONE months later absolutely nothing has been done. It’s like I was found guilty two years before there had been a court case. (February 2010)

In September 2009 I made a formal complaint to Cafcass, three times I have sent this letter, one month apart, plus a copy, (all sent registered post) sent to their head office.

It is New Years Eve its my daughters 10th birthday tomorrow and I have not had a reply from CAFCASS.

Dear Ruth Carter

Re: Complaint       …………………………………..

……………………………………. D.O.B (01/ 01/2000 )

I wish to lodge a complaint against the Cafcass officer for the way in which he have dealt with the case evolving my daughter (……………….), Mrs Crawford and myself.  Your officer worker after only one visit proceeded to make serious allegation against me, based on his own opinion. That prove to be damaging with no underpinning evidence.  None of the officer allegation was ever proven in court or otherwise.

Further more an assumption was also noted from this worker stating his own personal opinion is based on any formal facts or permissive evidence, which has made it impossible for me to gain access to my daughter after his comments had been directly noted in writing.

I would like to request that you investigate this assumed opinion of your worker and inform me of what legal professional consultation took placed before these accusations were make common in the form in the form of a legal writing document outlining the damaging accusations of my character.

I have found this situation to be extremely disheartening as I now have no access to my daughter because of your worker damaging statement.

I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience in response to this pressing matter.

Yours Sincerely

Mr M. Crawford

Alarming Cafcass Report

If you have any concerns regarding the way in which Cafcass has handled your family case. Then it is imperative that you read this report.  It illustrates a vital point that I have highlighted over 2 years ago, prior to this report being published, when they became evolved in my family.  Cafcass is not only incompetent, but dangerous because they impose their over handed power of the law to ruin genuine caring parents and children’s lives.

Children need Parents.

I have spoken to many adults that grew up without a Dad; the general consensus is that they do hold a grudge.   I am just a Dad so what do I know?, In a world of highly trained Social Workers and Cafcass Officers.

In regards to my personal circumstances, the Cafcass officer reviewing my case, had condemned me on the allegation of the other parent, without any proven evidence or investigations, to substantiate the conviction.

Cafcass decisions to alienate me from my daughter after an initial interviewing with me had a devastating impact on the family as a whole.    Cafcass have been granted the power to condemn law abiding parents.  Any parents who had faith in the law system, and is under the delusion that Cafcass would protect their rights, and the rights of their children are in for devastating disappointment.

Read the report for yourself and form your own opinion . http://bit.ly/bYaeLS

How Much is that Doggie in the Window

It’s that time of year again when little kids are making their lists and checking them twice. They want to ensure that they have included every new toy, gadget, and gizmo on their wish list in hopes that they receive all of their heart’s desires for Christmas. In many cases, toy, gadgets, and gizmos are not the only items on a child’s wish list. Sometimes these wish lists also include (drum roll please): dogs. Along with the toy robot, baby doll, and video game system, your child may also list Spot or Rover as an item on their wish list. Before running out to buy your child the dog of their dreams and wrap it in a pretty red bow, there are some things that parents should keep in mind.

Parents should keep in mind that there are many things that children want, and soon after getting the things that they “just simply must have” the newness wears off. Once the sense of awe and wonder at the gift are gone, the toy is relegated to the back of the closet. Unfortunately, kids cannot just throw the dog into the back yard and forget about it. Dogs are a big responsibility, and parents should be certain that their child is up for the task. If the child fails to take care of the dog, the responsibility for care and maintenance of the dog will fall on your shoulders as the parent.

If you are sure your child is responsible and mature enough to take care of a dog, it will be a good idea to research what types of dogs are good with children. If you have small children in the house this is especially important. Some breeds of dog can be territorial and may not be suitable for a household with very young children. You will want to make sure you know how large the breed of dog you buy will grow because keep in mind that the cuteness of the puppy will wear off as it begins to grow and grow and grow. It is essential that you help your child learn how to properly care for the dog and help him or her remember to take seriously their responsibility of caring for the pet. This way, you, your child, and the dog can all live in harmonious union for many years to come!

Some useful info

Dogs account for between 60-90% of all bites.

Cats account for between 5-20% of all bites

Bites from gerbils or hamsters, are rare (2.3%).

Bites from wild animals, are very rare, accounting for only 1.1% of all bites.

Bits from dogs are very common, some serious some not and some fatal. In 2006 20% of people needing hospital treatment were children under nine years old, and children under nine are at a much greater risk of getting serious injury’s, especially round the head and neck. However serious the injuries are any dog bite should be reported immediately because of the risk of infection as it is possible to catch tetanus or rabies (both potentially fatal infections)

Cats bites are not so common but can give a nasty bite as their teeth are so sharp they can easily penetrate bones and joints. Their claws are sharp and can make deep wounds leaving unwanted bacteria in the blood of the victim. So the bottom line is always report a bite regardless of how bad it is a little cat scratch can cause serious infection and let you Dr assess the risk of your wound becoming infected, stay safe.

The Importance of Reading to Children

Just about everyone can appreciate the importance of reading and can understand the value that reading brings to our daily lives. We are bombarded by words at every turn, and we all probably read more words in a day than we are even aware. From billboards to work documents to labels on food packages, reading is an essential part of our lives. Of all of the many things that adults read during the day, one of the most important and probably the most underrated type of reading that adults participate in is reading to their children. This is especially true of bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are an important part of a child’s nightly routine, and parents should make every effort to make bedtime reading a top priority.

As the child reaches for the same book again the parent cringes at the thought of having to read this book one more time. Parents may wonder why their child has not grown tired of this book. Even though the child may have a great number of books from which to choose, he or she may choose the same book every night. The reason for this is that children need repetition. Repetition makes them feel safe and secure, and repetition at night in the form of their favorite bedtime story helps the child to feel comfortable and relaxed. When the child feels comfortable and relaxed sleep comes more easily. While the parent may still have to read the same bedtime story over and over again, they could make it a little more interesting by adding their own twist to the story or parents could have the child participate in the story by filling in words or creating his or her own version of the story. The important part of this nightly repetition is helping the child feel safe and protected.

Not only does reading to children at night help them feel safe and secure, but it also establishes a stronger bond or connection between the parent and child. Children appreciate the uninterrupted one-on-one time that stories at bedtime bring. As children grow older they will remember these times spent with their parents and cherish these sweet and precious memories. Through bedtime stories, parents establish the importance of reading in the minds of their youngsters by showing their children that reading is fun and enjoyable. Children’s imaginations and creativity are challenged and expanded through reading. There are many, many benefits to reading to one’s children, and parents should take this task as seriously as they take any other.

Pets that Kill Toddlers

Children and adults alike are fascinated by animals such as dogs and cats, and many desire to have these animals as pets in their homes. Dogs are especially popular among individuals and families both in the UK and in the U.S. A 2008 report conducted in the UK revealed 27 million pets in the country with 7.3 million of these pets being dogs. According to a 2002 survey in the U.S., approximately 68 million dogs are owned as pets within the states. Many families treat their pet dog as a member of the family as they let the dog live in the house, eat in the kitchen, and sleep in one of the bedrooms. While pet dogs can be sweet, loving, protective, and harmless, they can also pose a real danger to some family members. The family members most vulnerable to a dog attack are children because a child’s behavior around the animal is often unpredictable.

Children are particularly susceptible to dog attacks when the family pet is a breed of dog that is naturally aggressive or that has been bred to fight. Many owners of naturally aggressive dogs or dogs that are bred to be fighters are under the delusion that their dog would never bite or attack anyone, especially a family member. These dog owners should be willing to accept the fact that their pet dog is capable of attacking, maiming, or killing another individual. They should take extra precautions to ensure that children living within close proximity of their home as well as the children under their own roof are protected from these potentially vicious and deadly animals. When dog owners refuse to accept the truth about their dogs tragedy often results.

It is unfathomable to many that families would allow children and aggressive dogs to live in the same home. Most rational people can see that this type of situation could be compared to a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment. Unfortunately, explosions do occur with disastrous consequences. In 2007, a 5-year old girl was killed when her uncle’s pitbull terrier attacked her. It was reported that she suffered dozens of bites from the dog, and her injuries were so severe that she died as a result. In November 2009, a 4-year old boy died as the result of a ferocious attack by a dog in his family home. The family home should be the one place where children experience the most protection and security, but when families allow aggressive dogs to co-exist with their children the consequences are often fatal.
