@ScottishAAM I wish they apologised to adoptees who were placed with abusive parents. There were no proper checks, assessments. Just had to be married, therefore more 'moral'.Burghart's comments about APs were awful, especially due to recent case of Preston.

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@ThePosieParker @y_alibhai Exactly. There is no comparison. Using this horrific case as a 'gotcha' to make a point about racism is abhorrent. And I have seen that there is a protest planned for tomorrow in Oldham.

@ScottishAAM Lessons not learned from the Shayla (Elsie Scully-Hicks) case.

@ScottishAAM I've been following this case closely, and reading the online discussions. There's a comment on the Mumsnet thread from an AP, claiming that JV must have been in the throws of 'post-adoption depression'. Abhorrent. No words.

@DarrentheJourno @GriftReport You do realise that adoptees have been SA by heterosexual parents? Look up the Masha Allen case. She was adopted by a single heterosexual male, and was SA and physically abused and starved. Videos of her SA was distributed online.

@Jonsie76820327 @wheniamking_ @BritisherPaz49 Exactly. Nobody is slating the Irish and Scots for using O' and Mc/ Mac. But Welsh people reverting to the 'ap' patronymic system is wrong, apparently. The ignorance is ridiculous.

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@wheniamking_ @BritisherPaz49 You wouldn't call Irish people using O' or Scots using Mac, a 'fad'. The Welsh patronymic system was abolished after Laws in Wales act. It's why we have so many Joneses, Davies etc in Wales. They are English surnames that were imposed on Wales.

@Alli71247958 @DBW77 He has been called Rhun ap Iorwerth since birth. He was never called 'Ron'. This is some weird conspiracy theory.

@ThomaDave @ab_wxm The Finns 'de-Swedishised' their surnames after gaining independence from Sweden. Lots of Welsh people have de-Anglicised their surnames. It's no big deal or a conspiracy. E.g Bryn Terfel and Dafydd Iwan dropped the Jones.

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@ThomaDave @ab_wxm Lots of Welsh people have dropped the Jones and use their father's name as their surname. The Welsh patronymic system was abolished due to the Laws in Wales act. It's why there are so many Jones, Davies etc surnames in Wales. They are English surnames imposed on us by England.

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@BigBungusBoi69 @nonregemesse So much of this ideology remains in England. Why are so many English anti-Welsh if you have claim Briton ancestry? Why so much animosity towards the Welsh language, the culture?

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@BigBungusBoi69 @nonregemesse You should be more concerned with the horrific ideas that came from racial Anglo Saxonism, before blaming 'the Celts' for anything. I suggest you read this book.

@samkn3n Read this book. English history was absolutely seen as a racial construct of 'pure Anglo Saxons'. They glorified that their ancestors were violent settlers, who were destined by God to conquer other races.

@Richard54119983 @SeneddWaste @20NPHartleyHare He's just de-Anglicised his name. Lots of Welsh people have done it. The Finnish people 'de-Swedishised' their surnames after gaining independence.
Our surnames were abolished, which is why there are so many Jones, Davies etc in Wales.

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@Richard54119983 @SeneddWaste @20NPHartleyHare Do you know why your surname is Evans and not 'ap Ifan'? That's what your ancestors would have been called. The Welsh patronymic system was abolished after Laws in Wales act. Hence the English 's' at the end of your surname.

Our surnames were abolished, which is why there are so many Jones, Davies etc. People are reversing that.

@SVPhillimore Even before the (alleged) SA and physical abuse, they were awful parents. No compassion for Preston's sleeping issues and being unsettled due to being in a new environment- talking about 'sleep training' for him, they changed his name.

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@SVPhillimore "The implication is that social workers and health professionals were unwilling to consider that adoptive parents might harm their child."

[laura apple @lauraapple32504]

@SVPhillimore I suspect that Preston's previous injuries were overlooked for the same reason. I believe that a child in a bio family presenting with bruises, fracture and repeated hospital visits, the family would have been scrutinised.
