The public ‘do not hear about the hundreds of thousands of cases where children and parents are empowered and supported [by social workers] to create a better life.’ because they don’t exist. Unless they are talking about adoptive families who are indeed created by social workers. Real ones are destroyed.

“Almost 200,000 women in England and Wales, across the fifties, sixties and seventies, were forced into giving their babies up for adoption – their “punishment” for getting pregnant out of wedlock.
Now a damning report from the Joint Committee on Human Rights says responsibility for the damage caused to the women and the children they lost, lies with the government – and it is time for a formal apology.”
What about the damage caused to all the parents who have lost children after the 70s, do they not count to the Joint Committee on Human Rights ?
