I had to jump through hoops when the contact hearing was going through court for my daughter so none of any of this is of any surprise to me. I think that things will continue to be tied up in knots that are too difficult to untie. And so life goes on!

Whatever their reasons were for removing him from that hospital, he should not have been left in a hospital, in a foreign country, alone whilst his parents were locked up before anyone really asked them why they did it.<br />With regards to the NHS, I have little faith in the system here. The staff are overworked which makes them in some cases lose their ability to care. My friend recently gave birth, after an induction and whilst screaming in pain was told repeatedly to shut up as she was upsetting other people. She was refused pain medication and overall the care she received was appalling.x Great post.#PoCoLoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-7786399084380723312014-09-05T08:51:39.208+01:002014-09-05T08:51:39.208+01:00Really great post.

As for the references to Victoria Climbie, I studied that as part of a course and the details were horrific so there does need to be things in place to stop that type of abuse happening again. Obviously it will never be a perfect system but the best interests of the child should always be put firstKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04913596958120846642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-55147969936344766002014-09-03T00:02:02.080+01:002014-09-03T00:02:02.080+01:00Wow I didn't realise clinic letters are writte...Wow I didn't realise clinic letters are written abroad?<br /><br />I have learnt not to trust anything the media says.

I heard an interview with the chief of the constabulary at Hampshire police (I am not 100% on his title) on Radio 2 yesterday and the implication was that the hospital mislead the police - and that they hadn't broken any laws whatsoever.

I can't see why they can't have his mum with him with police protection if they feel it's necessary.
