A social worker harming a child in Consett, Co Durham.

 

Social worker Margaret Ross participated in separating a 6 year old girl from her father. The child was so distressed by the separation that she cried herself to sleep, wet her bed, needed psychotherapy and eventually self-harmed.

The names of the three social workers involved are:

Margaret Ross  SW59676

Helen Williams  SW71374

Jan Edwards  SW45941

 

Just to be clear about Ms Ross' role in this separation, she didn't physically take the child away from the father, it was the mother who did that. But Ms Ross took no action to stop the mother doing it and she made no attempt to reunite the child with her father even when it became clear that the child was experiencing serious psychological harm.  At the very least it was negligent - Ms Ross is employed to protect children not to harm them.

But it went further than that. Margaret Ross, gave the mother lifts to and from the courts during the subsequent family law case, she chatted with the mother before and after the hearings and she even laughed at the father as he tried to speak with the judge. Margaret laughed at a father who was trying to reduce the suffering of his daughter.

 

 

Anyone who reads what this child went through can see that she did not consent to being separated from her father.  Everyone acknowledged that the father did not harm his child and that they were very close. The truth is that the father had been protecting the child from an abusive mother. But feminist social workers such as Margaret Ross do not accept that abusive mothers exist. There was even the stark fact that the mother had two children by two separate fathers and had taken both of them away from the fathers. She'd done it twice. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence could see that this was a problem with the mother, not the fathers.

 

The correct course of action would have been for Margaret Ross to call the father and him where his daughter was.  The father would have been able to comfort his child and end the distress.  But Ms Ross did nothing.

The girl used to have a good father who loved her and treated her well, she has grandparents, friends, a good school and a house in a nice village. In one single day they were all taken away from her. It's not surprising that she was so distressed.

It is not known why Margaret Ross treated this child so badly, but it is suspected that she was compelled to take sides with the mother due to the feminist culture in her work environment. The end result was the child abuse you read on this page. To this day, neither Margaret Ross nor Durham County Council have admitted any fault.

 

 

The aftermath

Very little is known of the child’s welfare after that initial period of distress.  There are, however, two emails showing that there was continuing distress four years later and then the child went through a grieving process due to the loss of her father.

 

 

 

A year later there were signs of parental alienation.

 

 

And the most recent information is that she started self-harming.

 

 

 

 

What you read above is child abuse at the hands of state employees.
