Social Services are out of control

Today the Sun newspaper reports on a couple who refused to give their child junk food to increase his weight, according to a doctor and they had their son taken away from them and it took 4 months of fighting Social Services and courts to get him back again.
When they did the Social Services agreed that the parents were good parents.

So the question is why did they take him away and cause the parents and the child all the trauma?

Do gooders and people with no parenting skills what so ever and were most probably childless gays!

Common sense = The government is trying to stop obesity and people to cut down Junk food.
The government is trying to get people to eat healthily.
There was no threat to the boy
There was no real reason apart from not allowing Junk food, for them to take this action.
Why did it take so long for the court to see this waste of money.
Why do Social Services allow kids to be killed when they are in danger?

Why is there apparently NO recourse against Social Services?

On many occassions I have advocated that Social Services should take on pensioners who have brought up families.
Our pensioners like anyone else like to help and feel needed with their experience.
This will cut the shortage of staff in many Social Service areas.

Otherwise let these parents take the Social Services to court for wrong doing and for the menatkl anguish and then we shall see what happens.

I have practical experience having been trained with some of them from the North of England!!
