There have been a number of discussions with
mothers/parents/guardians concerning filing claims for financial
compensation against local authorities, social workers, pediatricians who
made allegations of child abuse ....And even teachers who have joined the
melee and 'diagnosed ' medical conditions... Some of the teachers seem
very hot on psychiatry. One hopes the expertise has not been the result of
time spent in an environment similar to ' One flew over the cuckoo's
nest'....Mind you, the jury is out on that one!
It needs to be appreciated that at the moment, children up to the age of
18 are able to make a claim.
Parents and guardians are not able to claim.
However, in the event that a malicious allegation of child abuse was made
and can be proven, there is conflicting information of whether or not any
time limit still applies.
The reason for the importance given to seeking compensation, is not merely
the obvious legal remedy for the horrendous experiences as result of
negligence or a malicious accusation; there is another feature that is
conjoined with compensation.
A claim for compensation is likely to be heard in a 'real' court...Not the
Mickey Mouse gulag of the Family Court. The press inhabit the 'real'
courts'. The names of those who perpetrated perjury to effect a
miscarriage of justice would be published, and this is likely to result in
prosecutions and then further legal action to recover the compensation
paid out by the local authority. So social workers, pediatricians and
whoever has given false evidence in Family Courts, need to be keeping
their fingers crossed and looking over their shoulders !
The recent case in which Justice MacFarlane 's awarded £500,000 in costs
to parents, against a local authority, yet Ordered that the identity of
the social worker and local authority not be disclosed, is we understand,
going to be challenged....And what about the others?
Why is public money being paid out as a result of perjury committed by
social workers and others ?...Yet no attempts have been made to claw the
money back from the individuals who perpetrated the perjury.
Why is it alright for Lord Jeffrey Archer and Jonathan Aitken MP to be
prosecuted and serve 4 and 3 years ( approx ) in prison for perjury ?
.....Both were Conservative Parliamentarians....Yet social workers and
pediatricians /others, are being let off such prosecutions....Could it be
that these persons are associated with Tony Blairs' Labour Party ?
