The scandal of the family courts

In a series of articles, Camilla Cavendish has been exposing the scandal of the family courts and the removal of children from their parents without adequate evidence.

She has written today on the subject, and here are the other articles in the series. I warmly recommend them:

• Guilty until proved innocent: the grotesque reality of the family courts - Will we be able to report if a mother kills herself through the grief of loss?
• Secret witch-hunt syndrome - The hunt for Munchausen's.
• How can this happen here? - US research overturns the child abuse canon.
• Innocent but presumed guilty - How many homes are broken by the closed and secretive family courts? Frighteningly, we don't know.
• What a way to treat our children - Young people needing a stable home may find one answer – but not through the State.
• The cruellest verdict of them all - Hysteria, not science, is producing a rush to judgment on baby deaths.
• The old boys' club and its inexpert witnesses can still hold juries in thrall - The GMC has still not set a date to consider if Meadow should be accused of misconduct until courts demand more of experts, more miscarriages of justice could occur.

So pleased that the way family courts and the anonymity of the officers concerned has been brought to the public notice.
