'Basic Intelligence'

Here in the UK, our law is administered in the name of our Queen who is also the head of the Anglican Church. The law thus has to be derived from that faith the Queen follows and indeed any legal oath is sworn as 'before God'.

OK, if our law is based on those Christian principals taken from the bible, therein there lies one law that we break at our peril. No less than four times in the new testament, there is a reference to Christ stating his view on the protection of children where he made it very clear where the line is drawn. He said that the 'Kindom of Heaven' has a very soft spot for kids as indeed he also had. He also made one very clear rule that implies to break it carries the most severe penalty, aka capital punishment!

"Woe unto those who would harm the least of these my children. It would be better for them that a millstone be hung round their neck and they be thrown in the depths of the deepest ocean, than to face me on that day"

That's quite an incredible statement from the guy who also preached a very comprehensive view on forgiveness! It puts into very clear contrast what should be done to protect children, not only by those close to them but also anyone charged with their care. It is then a little incredible that so many judges in the family courts in the UK, who make judgements based on very poor evidence presented by Social Services, can ever sleep at night. It is one thing to make a poor decision and cover up possible embarrassment with an order against the parents, (that would make them liable to contempt of court if they disclose the mistake publicly) when a much higher authority they are supposed to answer to, will most definitely hold them in contempt of the laws their very existence is based upon. I for one would certainly not wish to be weighed in the balance of that level of justice with such matters on my concience.

It is worth pointing out that the oath one swears in court to tell ".. the whole truth and nothing but the truth" is also sworn before God. To present evidence in social care hearings that is grossly inaccurate, thus puts one in very severe moral 'deep s**t' as one then also has comitted blasphemy. It matters not whether you believe in a God of any kind, the very act of using law based on a belief system implies your being willing to be governed and judged under its principals.

So,.. if you are a social worker reading this and you have bent the truth like a plumber's bodge-up to get your adoption targets for the month, or you are the judge who passed an order based on such fabricated evidence, or the solicitor who failed to put the effort into a case because it was only running on legal aid,.. I don't know who you can call on for help because it sure aint going to be God is it?

Who cares? Well there's a million dollar question,....
