What do you mean NO Father Christmas ???!!!!!! :-s :shock: :wink: :lol:
The magic of Christmas is with kids for such a short time , the last thing you want is a misery guts spoiling it.I am having similar trouble with my 10 yr old who has announced to my 7yr old that Father Christmas isn’t real. I have had to take him to one side & explain that it is totally unfair of him to spoil it for his sister (rotten lil git)!! :roll:
I have also told him not to be too disapointed when he gets no pressies – coz Father Christmas doesn’t leave presents to non believers! :shock: :wink: :twisted:I remember Christmas not ever being quite the same once my lil sister didn’t believe anymore.
Hmmmm this post could run & run …….
Anyway for what it’s worth I still stand by my comment about the “No blame” school of thought, that is adopted by alot of these government departments. SOMEONE somewhere has got to put their hands up & say “yep we screwed up” (or words to that effect) & accept responsibility.
There has been loads of “areas for improvement” documented in several cases reguarding Child Protection issues.
May be this one has struck a cord because after the dreadful Climbie case several issues of “system” were highlighted & recomendations put in place. It would appear in the case of Baby P the very people that were supposed to care turned a blind eye.
You could blame the Dr’s or the social workers but ultimately the main carers of this poor boy inflicted the terrible injuries. That is not disputed, but, ultimately the police had highlighted their concerns for this childs safety after being called by someone was concerned & advised social services to take him into care for his own safety.
THAT ADVICE WAS IGNORED BY SOCIAL SERVICES &, the rest as they say is history. SO forgive me & many others who are still of the opinion that although Baby P’s excuse for a mother & her “partner” were guilty of inflicting the injuries & get all they deserve, Social services FAILED to protect him too – so why the hell shouldn’t we “blame ” them??
I don’t deny that social workers etc have a heavy workload but my problem with it is even when the suspicion was highlighted & documented , the police involved & advised that Baby P be taken into care it was all swept under the carpet with the most terrible consequence.At the end of the day, I think all the British public want is to see that the system is NOT failing yet again – the society we live in these days means we are more informed than perhaps we were in the past.

this one person should not be personally accountable for what happened to that poor child…it is the system that failed and lets not forget it was those monsters that killed that child.
:( :(
She was part of the system, in fact she was in charge of the whole bloody affair so of course she’s going to be held accountable. However, I do think other people are responsible too.
The monsters in question are more respsonsible than everyone else, however they are not in a position of child protection. Sharon Shoesmith is, or at least was in a position of authority and child protection and dispite the system failing itself, people who work there are part of the system so in result are partly responsible. I think it was the right decision for her to go.Quite agree – The system is there to protect these kids at the end of the day, & yet AGAIN it failed.
Cheer up you misereable devils ……
IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! :lol: :wink:
