RISK ASSESSMENTS should be banned ! Children should never be taken into State care on the basis of crystal ball predictions of future harm .After all police will quite rightly arrest you if you commit a crime but will never do so if they believe you might commit a crime next year !
Babies are snatched at birth by social workers alleging risk of future harm. Their actions are rubberstamped by judges who act like racing tipsters ! They say past behaviour indicates likely future results ,a horse that won last week is going to win this week and alas it comes last !
Children should never be removed because self appointed social worker prophets claim in effect supernatural powers ;Children should of course be removed if serious crimes are committed against them. Children who are BAD battered like Baby P,and Maria Colwell should be removed at once, but they were unlikely candidates for adoption so they were left to die
