@NataliePage@BarbaraWill13@MyCafcass Criminals and perpetrators have been training to be social workers for the power it gives them. There are private chats on Facebook where they talk about this. Links to unregulated law through Mckenzie Friends.
@MyCafcass Cafcass leadership has a long pattern of encouraging abuse-denial practices which mistreated abuse victims terribly.
Her legacy includes an absolute pasting in various gov't reports for awful practices.
Now she denies any possibility that a social worker might be a domestic abuser.
The public do not deserve an abuse-denier at the helm of a critical children's safeguarding organisation.
Tiotto's gotta go
Thank you
@UKSupremeCourt
for this important judgment. For many families, Cheshire West did not operate as a safeguard in practice. It became part of a system of prolonged litigation, professional control, and endless process, while the vulnerable person’s own wishes, family life, and real suffering were pushed aside.
In my daughter’s case, the Court of Protection has been involved for more than eight years. What began as supposed protection led to separation from family, restriction of contact, years of institutional care, repeated ignoring of her wishes to come home, and enormous harm to both her and our family.
The system became self-perpetuating, abusive, costly, and harmful in practice.
Prolonged litigation became an industry while families and vulnerable people suffered. Lawyers, experts, local authorities and professionals debated “best interests” and “risk” for years, while my daughter remained trapped in care settings where I have raised serious safeguarding concerns about neglect, deplorable care, adverse effect medication, distress, and degrading treatment, all ignored.
I welcome any judgment that requires decision-makers to look at the person’s real situation rather than applying a rigid tick-box test, but the next step must be genuine reform: proper scrutiny of public bodies, accountability for misuse of the Mental Capacity Act, and real consultation with P and families who have lived under these orders.
Safeguards must protect vulnerable people, not become a machinery that silences families, prolongs proceedings, and legitimises institutional harm.
Survivors shouldn’t have to survive the family courts too.
Jasminder’s story is a devastating reminder that #coercivecontrol doesn’t always end after leaving an abuser; it can continue through the legal system itself.

On Mother’s Day we celebrate the love, strength, and devotion of mothers everywhere — a love that shapes lives and never fades.🌹🌹🌹
Today we also hold space for the mothers who are not with their children because of family court decisions and painful circumstances beyond their control. Your motherhood has not been erased. Your love still lives, your bond still exists, and no one can ever replace you.
A mother’s place in a child’s heart is permanent. ❤️Distance, time, and systems cannot break what was created through love.
So today we honour every mother — those holding their children close, and those carrying them in their hearts with hope, courage, and unwavering love.
Mother’s Day to all mothers.❤️❤️❤️

Family lawyers who represent Abusers & Safe Parents work as one & deliberately keep you in family court for years💷
They & #Cafcass force you to use the corrupt lawyers they recommend
They take your money/ defraud @LegalAidAgency & have the gall to blame everything else..
They're the ones who fail Children/Families/YOU
They all blame the *System & not one of them will admit that they're to blame..
NOT ONE!!
#Familycourts handle sensitive cases, but that doesn’t mean they should be hidden from scrutiny. Safe transparency, through anonymised judgments & responsible reporting, protects children while building public trust. Justice should be seen as well as done. #IdaWells#IWD2026
With warnings that court backlogs could hit 200,000 by 2035, confirmation that cases are now being listed for 2030 is shocking - but not surprising.
Behind every statistic is a victim stuck in limbo.
We cannot ask survivors to wait years for closure.

I'm fed up with #FamilyCourt professionals undermining individual trauma
Share your harrowing experience & see
professionals form a bubble to blame the *System, judges, etc
*Every day they destroy families because they know they'll get away with it
A huge step forward. We are grateful to all involved, especially all the victims who gave evidence to the review into the presumption of parental involvement, Claire Throssell and all the MPs, the victim's commissioner and DA commissioner, all the many campaigners and advocates.
#Cafcass social workers force parents to use the corrupt family lawyers they recommend
They take your money just to blame the *System!
NEVER will they say, "We Failed You. We apologise".. EVER!!!
My monologue on what the new world order means for Britain, from @TimesRadio today:
For those of you who’ve not yet copped that we’re at a watershed in global politics I suggest you have a read of Mark Carney’s speech in Davos yesterday. It’s not often a Canadian prime minister charts a seminal change in world politics. But Carney, a former governor of the Bank of England, has.
This is the key passage:
“Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions—that they must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains. And this impulse is understandable. A country that can’t feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.”
Coming from a fully-paid up member of the liberal global elite, this is dynamite. Carney says the era of global integration is over and that what he calls ‘middle powers’, like Canada and the UK, who benefitted from it and got used to working through global institutions — like the WTO, the UN, COP, NATO, the EU — need to realise the game is up.
If you can’t feed, fuel and defend yourself in this new world of rupture you’re finished. So these are his priorities for Canada. He’s junked a lot of his net zero baggage to increase Canada’s energy security. He’s moving from multilateral to bilateral deals he thinks will benefit Canada, most recently with China. And he’s doubling spending on defence.
The British government should take stock. Carney’s world of rupture has been brought about by Donald Trump’s wrecking ball approach to the rules-based world order that has served us so well these past 80 years.
It’s played into the hands of the autocrats of Moscow, Beijing and elsewhere who want to replace that world order with a system far more attuned to their interests. Trump is obliging them.
Food. Fuel. Defence. These are Carney’s watchwords for a scary new world in which middle powers need to seek strategic autonomy when old alliances and multinational institutions no longer work. They should guide British policy too.
We need to be able to feed ourselves better. To be able to count on cheap, secure sources of energy. And to be able to defend ourselves from multiple and growing threats. At the moment the Starmer government is doing none of the above.
Instead it is lumbering business with the most expensive energy costs in the world and households with the second or third most expensive domestic energy in the world.
It is pursuing a multi-billion pound dash to net zero while adding only a few crumbs to the defence budget.
And it’s covering good farming land with solar panels.
It would be hard to think of a set of policies less designed to give us the strategic autonomy Carney thinks middle powers must strive for.
Britain needs a step change in its energy, food and defence policies. The billions earmarked for net zero need to be diverted to rearming the nation.
We need an energy policy that couples secure supplies with lower prices so that we can start to rebuild some of our heavy industry, essential to defence.
And we need a farm policy that champions growing food once more rather than prioritising various fashionable environmental wheezes.
None of this is likely to happen under the Starmer government. The PM has no vision or aptitude for such a strategy. His party is a prisoner to old 20th century ways of thinking, as is much of British politics on the left and right.
But unless the Carney challenge is recognised and policy changed in radical ways to meet it, we risk not only further economic decline in the rest of this decade but growing vulnerability to the evil intent of our enemies. And without America at our back to protect us.
I would suggest, Nadine, that the entire judiciary is looked into. As horrendous as Lucy Letby's miscarriage of justice is it's by no means the worst. Not by a long way. It's just the most publicised. Most people have no idea just how bad the justice system, particularly the appeals system, really is. No idea at all.
