Mum-to-be begs: Let me keep my baby

A MUM-TO-BE who has been told her baby will be taken into care by social services as soon as it is born is begging for a chance to keep it.

Note: Great Brittan's obsession with the Baby P screw-up has spilled over onto innocent parents, who are having their children snatched left and right for the most frivolous reasons imaginable. The parents of the UK should all band together and take out a few of these agencies. And they would be morally justified in doing so, because the world really doesn't need any of these sadistic f***'s telling us how to raise our children or deciding for some bullshit reason that we're not worthy of having anything to do with our own families.

What my buddy Wiiilbur has to say is just as valid over there as it is over here.



Also, any parent victim of the British Child Protective Industry who has had their newborn snatched from the hospital at birth, who would like to have the babystealer exposed for the fake, fraud, and sadistic sub-human that he/she/it is or would like to have your story told, please send me the info, anything you got, and it will be published here on Legally Kidnapped.

Confidentiality laws help them to cover their tracks. And it's time Big Brother gets put in her place.

Never give up and never shut up. After all, what else do you have to loose?

Pamper Yourself For Child Abuse Day!

I just came across a rather interesting press release, where some wonderful people are going to donate their time and skills to a worthy cause and according to the headline, they need your help.

Hair Salon Needs Your Help Fighting Child Abuse

And I totally applaud part of their efforts, as here we have a small business who simply wants to give back to the community in which they live and work, as you can see in the subheading.

Shapers Salon and Day Spa Will Donate Friday’s Proceeds

And if more people learned from their example the world would be a better place. Right?

Here lies the problem. Check out the first paragraph of this short article.

SAGINAW, Mich. -- Thousands of children are beaten and abused in Mid-Michigan.

Unbelievable. I imagine this was written by someone who got sucked into Wednesdays Child or some other in depth report. Check out the second paragraph.

You may feel a bit helpless, but there is something you can do.

And although I agree that there is something that we all can do, like help the family or something, and I've come across tons of articles with all kinds of suggestions of what to do and how to handle it, but I gotta admit, this is a new one on me.

See folks, what this really is, is a situation of somebody who fell for all the child abuse propaganda and trying to regurgitate it into a marketing strategy, as you can see from the rest of the article.

This Friday -- Shapers Salon and Day Spa, 685 N Center Rd, Saginaw -- will donate all proceeds to the Child Abuse and Neglect Council of Saginaw County.

Money from any haircut, pedicure or massage goes to the CAN Council to help fight child abuse locally.

Contact Shapers Salon and Day Spa for an appointment at 989-793-3771.

Here we have the perfect opportunity for the System Sucks to be able to pamper themselves and give to the child protective industry at the same time!

Brilliant!

Advertising and for a cause like child abuse prevention, which the author of this press release obviously learned about from watching too much TV, but it's still good, not to mention they can use it all as a tax write off at the end of the year.

But what a marketing strategy. Think about it, they're liable to get a few new customers out of the deal. They got a free ad in a newspaper, hell they even made Legally Kidnapped! People who go somewhere and have a good experience tend to go back. All they have to do is give everybody who walks in that door a good experience then they're golden. And we all know what a socio-emotional hotspot the thought of child abuse is these days. If they can create perception that they are good people who care about CHILDREN, that's got to suck a few new paying bodies in.

So here's what I propose. I say we make this a national event, where all the spas and hair salon's and barber shops and massage parlors etc get together and donate all of their proceeds to the Child Protective Industry. We'll call it...

Pamper yourself for child abuse day.

And then the System Sucks have a brand new way of giving and getting and "caring about the children" at the same time.

Mother cannot fight adoption order – judge

Asshole of the Year Candidate

Judge Lord Justice Wilson
"Irrespective of the outcome, she will always be able to tell herself that she could not have done more to secure the restoration of her children to her."

Mother cannot fight adoption order – judge

A MOTHER from Bristol was told she "could not have done more" as she failed in a last-ditch attempt to get her five children back from their adoptive families.

Note: You know what, I'm sorry, but Judge Lord Justice Wilson is obviously a system suck rubber stamp judge who should be thrown off the bench and given to a homosexual football team to be used as a ball. If that mother has done everything she was supposed to, then she should get her kids back.

It's a simple concept really.

The British Child Protective Industry couldn't properly pour piss out of a boot, even if it had the directions written all over the heals, and Judge Lord Justice Wilson blindly supports their babystealing efforts anyway.

But, acknowledging she loves her children and had done her best to care for them, the judge told the mother she could be satisfied she had fought as hard as she could in her efforts to win them back. He said: "Irrespective of the outcome, she will always be able to tell herself that she could not have done more to secure the restoration of her children to her."

What an asshole. I'm sorry. I'm sure that makes this mother feel better. If anything proves that the UK employs the most sadistic child protective industry in the world and that they got the judges in their pockets, it's that line right there.



And why do they dress their judges up like Sexy Santa's over there anyway? Could somebody please enlighten me on this?
