In this poignant invitation to the government to support an initiative that helps keep families together after forced adoption, and allow children to know their heritage and the parents and extended family members they lost, Children Screaming To Be Heard have written a letter to the government.
It is very much worth a read and makes several very thought-provoking points about children’s rights and the importance of acknowledging that adoption does not mean a child forgets about their first family or sheds the desire to know them. Indeed, knowing all they can about their biological families is a vital part of any child’s development.
Please do read the letter below when you have a moment. The initiative, called Families Forever Storybooks is just lovely.
“IN A CHILD’S BEST INTEREST”
“Families forever storybooks”
The British children taken into care now includes many children from the EU countries, and in 2014 many of the EU countries held meetings to raise their concerns about the British attitudes to state-sponsored child abuse and forced adoption.
Present day figures state approx 1.000 children are taken into care every month, mostly on false allegations. Once a child is in care, that child is left all alone with strangers, frightened, then only to be bombarded with questions by the court ‘experts’. Many children are used for medical experiments, most children are moved many times from different foster carers; some children are sexually abused.
When foster carers take their yearly paid holidays the children are sent to live with more strangers with a respite carer. There is no stability for these children, they are all alone. So, “In a child’s best interest” thousands of these children are going from pillar to post and lose all contact with their families and grandparents. For those children who are ALLOWED contact they are supervised, mostly in a tiny room in a contact centre. Many contacts are limited to nine hours a year with most grandparents told ‘your grandchildren do not want to see you’. This is not “In a child’s best interest”; this is destroying the families. We have thousands of adults who are discarded from the care system left to live on the streets. Most tell me that when they were in care the social workers told them their families did not want them or any contact, and this was the reason they were in care. For many children this was an outright lie, which they only discovered after leaving the system and on finding their families when they were told the truth. It is time that the care system supported the families and children “In a child’s best interest”.
For 100s of years the British children in care have been screaming to be heard they have no human rights, no family and are still the silent witnesses.
Prisoners have more rights then any child in care and all prisoners are allowed contact with their children. They are allowed to write them a story as can be seen at http://www.storybookdads.co.uk. If prisoners are allowed family contact and are able to write stories for their children then the families of those children in care should have the same rights.
I, on behalf of the children screaming to be heard, who are all alone, frightened, and living with strangers, demand that they have contact by “Families Forever storybooks” from their families to give the children the support and to let them know they are still part of a family wanted, loved and missed.

In this link is Ben, just one of the thousands of adults from the care system who was left to live on the streets. He is one of the hundreds of adults I interviewed and filmed. He was told his family did not want him or to have any contact and for this reason he was in care. It is time for the system to stop the lies and to support the families and to bring change in the 21st Century for the kids in care. Ben will shortly be recording one of his songs he wrote about the care system. This will be in support of the children in care and also to support
“Families Forever Storybooks”.
I ask the British Government, the media, social services, the courts, lawyers, Barristers, celebrities and all who purport to work “In a child’s best interest” to support Families Forever Storybooks so that the children can know they are still loved and wanted, and by Families Forever Storybooks the children will be able to stay in touch with their biological families.
Yours Sincerely

Trouble is they can scream all they like but they will never be “heard” by politicians because they cannot vote.

If we are all negative then of course children will never be heard if people agreed with FAMILIES FOREVER STORYBOOKS then help the kids and write to the idiots in government telling them that story books for families just may also help the bloody Lords Ladies and MPs who have no knowlege of love or families and can also learn from a PLEB how to be a family.

Changes are being made in having children’s voices heard. I am sure there will be press releases late summer from Voice of a Child. The National Charter is a big part of it.

It is simply history repeating itself, because as a society we have learned nothing. We went into other countries and colonised them, removed their children, shaved their heads, changed their names, and forced our relogion and language upon them. We knew the consequences from the lost generation – Aboriginees. We see the damage we have done in USA among the tribes. We see the damage done to Irish children and families with this British regime and what do we do? Go right back to using it on our own British children and Europeans. We use language like assimilating children into what we deem suitable families. We warehouse them- now what kind of language is that to use when speaking of children?
It tells the world children in UK are nothing more than the chattels of thousands of years ago- bought, sold traded like cattle for profit.
Then we have the audacity to use Hitler’s slogan Best interests of the child, when we know its energy signature and that Hitler copied the British camp systems from Ireland and USA.
Its up to us adults to speak out loud re the children. Its our responsibility as a society.
Enough of the old cognitive dissonance.

Perhaps we should rename the care system as THE HEAD HUNTERS because that is what kids have become for the army of the SS, and governments have continued to allow the SS which is the army from Hitler’s days , so what is the difference from Hitler the SS and the British Nazi Governments. All head hunters of kids.

Interesting to see a Supreme Court in America has just upheld that grandparents should not lose visitation rights to see their grandchildren in the event of parental separation, or after adoption.
When is this going to happen in the UK?

Statistics on the effects of adoption.
Despite knowing that adoptions dont work for the child the UK government has told social workers to ramp up adoption figures! Are they really so ignorant of the effects of adoption, or do they just not care!

Five years of researching into a system of child abuse in the care system of which Governments love to say (In a child’s best interest) how sick are they the only interest Governments have is the continuation of the money and jobs made from the kids and the children with no voices who try to speak of the abuse they suffer. The recent 700 victims of child abuse in the Welsh care system all were told no case, so Governments via Lady Macur said no case so you 700 victims have all told lies, we could have a million victims or a billion and all will be told NO CASE you are all liers, So the population along with the kids in care can continue to speak out but no one can ever get justice in the Great British Empire it has been corrupt from dot and the only justice is for the paedophiles and the child abusers and the fraudsters and lets not go down the road of the money laundering, kids and money are the keys to the corruption, lets take the family courts we have some wonderful honest legal people who want justice for the abused kids, but sadly the legal people also have to abide by the rules if not they do not get their licence to practice every year, then we have the CPS who again have to abide by the rules and as for the Judges well do they have to abide by the rules YES.
The judge in my case of when I was defrauded of many hundreds of thousands of pounds said, it is a scandal what happened to Maggie Tuttle and I mean a scandal but unfortunately it is out of my hands, and that says it all for every person to include the kids in care who want justice, there is no justice and never will be in this so called Great British Empire, But we will and must keep fighting for the children screaming to be heard, they are the silent witnesses and here lies the truth.

What the Nation needs to know is that there are untold government bodies set up to investigate the British child abuse and all they do is talk and talk and at the end of the day as Lady Macur said to 700 abused victims from Wales NO CASE TO ANSWER, and it all will go on and on and the fat cats in the governments do nothing but get richer on the backs of the abused kids in care and do nothing what so ever to help the kids screaming to be heard and yes there will be more committees set up but only for the money for the fat cats, I have written to Cameron many times asking that families and children in care have the same rights as the prisoners have to write a story to help support and keep the family together and most of all so that the kids will know that mum or dad who is in prison still love and miss them not once has he replied so take on board the talks and talks and no response to a story book for the kids crying out in care, so what does that tell the Nation, oh yes get lost the kids are a multibillion pound industry they always have been and always will be and of course little dollies for many of us to play with, then do as Heath and Savile did along with all of the paedophiles in Governments who out of the blue died or lost their minds. There is no justice for the kids in care and no story books, they are still the lost generation
