Ebbie...It appears by what has been written here, that those employed in the "Social services" are more concerned in keeping their JOBS safe than CHILDREN.

Its a case of "dont rock the boat we may fall in the water"

Here in the UK we see daily examples of Social services abdicating responsibility. Children abused murdered tortured while under "care" and when the truth finally surfaces no one is ever to blame, just sent away for another spot of re-training.

Money does not seem to be a problem here as New Labour have opened the purse strings for political reasons, but has seemed to compound the problem in that no one wants to lose a lucrative job by rocking the PC boat....Ake
