Climbié Effect Still In Effect

But of course! I guess Manchester decided that anything Haringey did, they could do better.

It's not like we haven't been here before. Actually, in so far as the mother appears to have been a fruit loop even prior to the murders, she probably qualified for a double diversity score. This is what happens when the Marxist paradigm of victimhood and oppression dominates your entire world view. After all, who are we to say that killing your two young sons is 'bad'?

I Killed 'Baby P'

...But I had help - from all of you for a start.

Yep, in a new low even for these freaks, it turns out that the reason why social workers left Baby P to die was all the people criticising social workers. Hmmmm... not so much chicken and egg, more chicken and roast dinner. Maybe they could try beating the system by not screwing up in the first place?

In so far as they're claiming that because people criticise social workers for seizing children on bogus grounds, social workers are reluctant to take kids into care even where the child has been tortured over a number of months, I say again: shouldn't supposed experts on raising kids sound a little less like they're fourteen years old themselves? Either that or go the whole way and accuse John Hemmings of being just like Hitler.

It's simply a fact that the same cult that uses junk science to persecute normal families keeps ignoring obvious cases of torture. Ditto - and again this may have passed our highly-trained social workers by - John Hemmings MP is supposed to hold public servants to account (the clue is in the letters after his name).

Still, consider what this says about the morals of the average social worker when their defence for leaving a child to die is that they feared mild criticism for rescuing him. Hey, sounds like exactly the people we can trust with unaccountable power, right?

Khyra Ishaq: Real Victims Found

Apparently, social workers keep screwing up and killing the innocent because there's too much accountability in social work. Clearly, if only we allow them to screw up without consequences, they'll stop screwing up.

How come this never works in other contexts ? How about we can't clamp down on tax evasion, lest the pressure drive people to evade their taxes ? But no: it's only where the unhinged left are involved that the solution involves doing the exact opposite to what any sane person would do.

This is what's really annoying about their endless mantra. Lessons are never learned, because it's always everyone else's fault. Even when a young girl has died in the most hideous of circumstances, it just proves people are too tough on social workers. Whatever the situation, their response is the same: squealing hysterical self-justification and claims of victimhood - and we trust these people to find dysfunctional families ?

More Impudent Proles Harrying The Enlightened

Free clue for the Cameroonatics: when your policies are to the left of the moonbats on the bench, it's seriously time to think about calling yourself something other than 'conservative'.

Yep - we've found another judge who doesn't understand what social workers 'actually do':

A girl aged ten was taken from her parents by social workers for no reason, a High Court judge has ruled.

But, the judge said, the children had been damaged by the intervention of the doctors, the social workers and the state.

Well, quite.

Again, as I said last time, this isn't about bad judgement. The social workers didn't make a bad call. They knew full well the evidence wasn't there:

Doctors found small amounts of blood in several examinations and subjected the girl to eight examinations.

They decided that the girl's condition meant she had been abused.

I'm all for double-checking, but after the third time, you're no longer checking the evidence, you're trawling for it.

Seriously, can you imagine this kind of evidence being accepted anywhere outside the bizzaro world of social work ? Can you imagine what would happen if the prosecution put a guy on the stand to testify that he couldn't match a fingerprint the first seven times, but the eighth time: BINGO!

The case would be tossed so fast the clerk of the court would have to duck to avoid a ricochet. More to the point, can you imagine what would happen to a police force that tried that sort of thing ?

That's the bottom line here, and at least m'lud almost gets it - which is more than the weasel Loughton does:

Mr Justice Holman said that the case was a warning that the lessons of the Cleveland child abuse controversy of the 1980s have gone unheeded by doctors, social workers and the courts...

"Even 20 years after the Cleveland inquiry, I wonder whether its lessons have been fully learned," the judge added.

No, of course not. Why should they be ? There are never any consequences. You can have quacktavist doctors conjure up bogus medical evidence and use it to persecute the innocent without risking so much as missing lunch if it all goes horribly wrong. Hell, if you can keep it in the family courts and out of the real ones, you'd need not even face public scrutiny. Like I said, why shouldn't we hate them ?

Today's Glory Of State Healthcare Story

Like always, you wonder why exactly 17 year old pizza boys who run pedestrians over face the full force of the law, but thirty-something medics can screw up with impunity and all we get is the usual blather about lessons and learning.

Equally, check out this bit:

The shocking truth about Alwyn's death has taken almost four years to emerge but the Callaways have always been determined eventually to expose the appalling catalogue of errors which cost his life....

The couple realised their son had been in distress for seven hours only when they received a copy of the medical notes....

When the hospital did not admit mistakes or apologise, the couple complained to the Healthcare Commission and in July 2005 took their case to the Ombudsman.

You know, I'm thinking lessons would be learnt much faster if these guys didn't keep lying like rugs. Meanwhile, I'm wondering about the likely response of the left to a private business that killed a child then spent years lying about what happened.
