"I think that one of the most important moves has been the involvement today of the UK Social Services which will reassure many people"

Victoria Kalimbier, Maria Caldwell, etcetera atcetera. Don't mention bloody Social Services in the UK to me.
What about the poor girl who's baby was taken away from her in the delivery room by social services because her partner's child in a previous relationship was diagnosed as suffering from shaken baby syndrome. No charges were brought by the police in that instance, but the social services have decided he is not a suitable parent, and have taken the baby and are seeking to have it adopted.
They do some good things, but they have made some MONSTROUS cock ups in the past, yet seem to be responsible to nobody!
What good they are going to do in this instance god only knows.
