Narrow Minded vs Personal Preference? (69)

Mariannette: I am sorry but this is not a fact....i know personally of two fathers who have their kids living with them...one through the normal family court system....the other through the social services.
I could also tell you of a situation very close to me whereby the child does not live with its mother and this was decided along with social workers. SO whereby your statement might sit for a lot of cases.....it by no means stands for ALL cases.....cos that FACT is just plain inaccurate.

sofarsogood74: You can assume what you want. You can assume Aliens exist...its not proof! This discussion started when you said I twisted faces comment. I proved to you that I twised nothing. He made up complete lies. He never said he was assuming anything. He stated the father was thrown out and the courts favoured the mother. This without a shred of proof that there even was a cort case or why the parents were living seperately!!!
Thats not a fact. If the mother has mental heath issues, has addiction issues she may not get the kids. But again you are asSuming the father wanted custody!!! The tradition of the family would suggest the father would not rear kids!
Its not fair to assume anything. No matter how many caps you use. You dont know the facts of the case!!

And as I said this discussion started when you said I twisted what face said. He said the fater was thrown out like it was fact and the courts favoured the mother like it was fact. This was to try and ram home his anti women view. This was sick in my opinion. There is no tragedy or event he wont use!

And then I asked you to point out where in the article it said such "facts". You couldn't! End of story!!!!!

sharmini: Thread: Yet another CHILD dies because of Social workers

Now can we leave it at that until we know the facts?

fifitheminx: i know of a dad who on the reports from social services gained full custody of his children also...

but on the equality side of this issue..

i also know of a father who after his wife died...led his children into a terrible life and social services claimed their hands were tied to removing them from his care....so it happens with men also..

these cases arent highlighted but its happening on both sides.

unfortunately..people who work in social services/family support cannot discuss their work outside of work..im sure if someone here had a friend who was a family support worker they could tell u that they and the social workers often go home feeling sick knowing because of laws and acts they often have to leave children behind in situations where their gut tells them its wrong but the needed proof is just not there.

and they feel as sick as a dog and are screwed up when something like this happens..

as u stated earlier...we know nothing of this poor childs situation and its not for us to judge either.. we need action..not condemnation and sneering.

sorry maddog for joining in the hijack but i had to.

Mariannette: In the latter two cases I mentioned, no courts nor solicitors were used or needed.
And in the first, it was a case of the mother walking out, so it was a open shut case as to who got the children in that one. That father was in a better place both financially, emotionally and responsibly to care for his children over their mother.
