What Moros said.

And IA, your attempts to ridicule HoreTore look incredibly childish, if your comment that you didn't get to see your child for two years was not meant in the eway he interpreted it, then please explain what it meant instead and how any other explanation would be relevant to the topic.

As it is you just appear to be trolling the socialist because you hate him and his views, hardly better than what you accuse socialists of doing here. And to get back from there to the topic, is it even correct to assume that all social workers are socialists?

Whatever the EDL believes, if opposing their views and opposing drug abuse makes you a leftist socialist scumbag, then I think the UK is even weirder than I previously thought. That said, child abuse cases, as was mentioned, are always great sensationalism, we've had several cases of child abuse here where the workers didn't do enough and were criticized heavily for it. For them it's a bit damned if they do, damned if they don't.

If they don't do anything about it now and the mother kills the children in a frenzy under heavy drug influence in two years, we'll get an article and a thread about how the child services should've done something long ago having had all the evidence and how they're useless because they only ever act when it's too late etc.
