Here is my perspective…. Albeit from an ‘insiders’ view.
From what I understand Shannon was not happy at home. Although she was abducted, she has no idea about this – appears that her ‘abductor’ gave her time and space which it sounds like she was not getting at home, hence, to Shannon things have improved over the last month.
We need to bear in mind that her adductor was a relative of her step dad, and, it sounds like things were not going well between her stepdad and Shannon and her mother.
Therefore, it is quite right that social services look into the family set-up before considering the right thing for Shannon.Comment

Having dealt with the SS before, they will ignore the 1989 children act. which states that the interests of the child shall be paramount. alas there is an unwritten law that the interests of the mpother coincide with that of the child.
I remember getting a formal complaint going against Wandsworth SS (the case worker was a lay magistrate and had told my ex she was going to get me). When I asked why they had not applied the law they said "because it is not easy".
Still, what does one expect from an organization which is above and beyond the law(the SS cannot be sued).Comment

There is not something quite right about this lot, it will all come out in the wash. Quite what a family with no income is doing having seven kids when they are clearly not fit to look after them I’ll never know, are these people just really thick?Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostUnfortunately due to the mess the care system is in children will not be separated from their parents except as a last resort. So parents can get away doing quite horrific things to their children even though other organisations or agencies are involved because SS will not remove them. (And yes I know people quite well who work for the other "agencies")Comment
