So today's Daily Mule trumpets how the evil social workers are taking away the lovely children their grand parents adore to be adopted by evil gays who will presumably ensure the children will pine for their grand parents for ever more without seeing them ever again.
Now without wishing to be draw into individual cases it strikes me that grand parents are the ignored and excluded part of the care system.
We worked with a family where the grand parents were the corner stone of the children's lives, worked with us, alongside us, supported us bringing up their grand children whilst the children's mother was allowed to arrange things and not turn up, promise things and not deliver, actively disrupt and suffer no consequence.
Yet throughout this it was the mother who was asked to be part of decision making in which she showed no interest, invited to meetings she never attended and sent reports she would not reply to.
The situation in the mail is sad, sad because there you have grandparents who could and would take the children, but are not allowed to do so, of course to the mail a problem is the adopters and their sexuality....
Missing the point a little people....
Then again as an editor once said - never let the facts impede a story!!
