Wednesday's Child - Karina
The aim of Wednesday's Child is to advertise a child who is in the foster care system and is available for adoption, on the evening news so that somebody's heart might be moved enough to take them into their homes and give them the love and stability that they need to make it through life. All of this because they cut the child off from their roots without having as much as a clue as to what to do with them.
Now I really feel sorry for this kid who ended up on Wednesday's Child this week, because while I suppose that it is possible that she is truly the kid who nobody wants, (including the foster parents) it is also entirely possible that there IS a real parent or grandparent or family member who loves and wants and misses that child.
In my opinion, Wednesday's Child is the lowest form of child marketing, where they take the kid for an outing, doing something really cool, so that they'll be all happy and bubbly in front of the camera's. Not to mention, this particular Wednesday's Child is 17, which means that she is about to turn 18, therefore about to age out of the foster care system, meaning that they're going to cut her off from all services and throw her out on her ass and force her to fend for herself without as much as a tie to their real families, but of course they don't tell you anything like that.
So what this is, is the Child Protective Industry's last desperate attempt to get this kid adopted so that they can claim a successful outcome and cash in on the rewards.

PRESS RELEASE
A CLASS ACTION brought by Freedom, Advocacy & Law Ltd was filed today in the morning of 1.07.10
The action was filed In the International Courts of Justice in the Hague against the Family Division Courts of the United Kingdom and the Local Authorities operating within the Statutory jurisdiction of same (England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland) . This Class Action concerns violations of International Human Rights, Law and local Statute and was filed by parents and other family members, for parents and extended families who have unjustly, unfairly, unlawfully lost contact with and/or care of their children for any reason, whether resulting from separation/divorce, or dealings with Children's Services.
The Isle of Wight Council and Isle of Wight and Portsmouth Courts are named in the action along with all Family Courts and Local Authorities in the UK
.
A spokesman for Freedom, Advocacy & Law on the Island said "Around two hundred and fifty families from around the UK including from the Isle of Wight and across the mainland have enjoined this unprecedented action so far, but the numbers enjoined to the rolling list rises daily and could reach into four figures by the time the case comes to be heard in the Hague."
He went on to say "This action covers both Public and Private law cases and is expected to send shock waves right through the legal and social care system and bring justice, accountability and reform into this very secret and unaccountable arena. Once the public see the extent of the abuses that go on under the veil of secrecy that is family law in the UK they will be shocked and we believe this action will now give many the courage to come forward for the first time. But we also have not just families but professionals coming forward who are just as appalled as we are, they are speaking to us and we welcome this, we respect and grateful to them for doing so! "
The Island Spokesman, a retired Steward of the Isle of Wight LINk also said "Some of the Issues I tried to raise, as a member of the LINk, and also involve serious Adult Social Care Issues and as the elected and nominated LINk member of the Isle of Wight Councils Adult Social Care, Health and Housing Scrutiny Panel I was unfortunately undemocratically removed from the panel by some one in the Council but this action, will mean the Isle of Wight Council like every other one named will have to address matters rather than brushing them under the secrecy carpet, especially as the national media are reporting as well!"
Freedom, Advocacy & Law who are advocates are not making any charge to the families involved and so far have 5,000kg of evidence to present to the court in the Hague regarding the cases involved which are from the inception of the Children's Act 1989 which became law in 1991 and families can contact Freedom, Advocacy & Law via their website www.freedomlaw.co.uk

Spies, Lies And An Idiot Professor
When I speak upon the matter of child abuse propaganda, I rarely am provided an example of such high caliber as this.
adoption disruptions
Now we all know how these bleeding hearts will lie to protect their fraudulent schemes, and this particular worker is so wrapped up in her job, that she won't even look at any other views except for bullshit she is trying to sell. So I left a comment on her blog, and since she refuses to publish my comments, I am forced to post it here.
BTW, I really don't care if she publishes my comments or not. People who are selling you a line of bullshit often refuse to consider oppositional views. It's normal. I understand and loose no sleep over it.
You leave out the fact that they push a lot of these kids into adoptive families in an effort to fluff the numbers, increase the revenues from the feds to the states, seal the records and hide all of the FRAUD that got the kids there in the first place.
Adoption is promoted in the media like a fairy tale where they all live happily ever after, so potential adoptive parents are preached the wrong message, they are also lied to by the workers, made false promises of aid in the future and whatever else it takes to get them to bite. There have even been cases where they have overlooked potential dangers to the children just to get them adopted out and call it a happy ending, just to make it all appear to be good.
Now, I realize that you won't publish this comment, so it will go on LK, but I honestly believe that deep down you are a good person who means well. Please start telling the truth to your readers. They deserve to hear it.

What to Do If You Are Falsely Accused by a Student
A lot of complaints and accusations are made each year against teachers, with over three-quarters of these being found to be false. Many of these allegations are a result of teachers simply breaking up fights or giving punishments to students for unacceptable behavior.
Teachers are particularly vulnerable to false accusations because of the varied nature of their jobs and the large numbers of young people they work with every day. Sadly, many students have no problem in making a false claim about a teacher they dislike.
Examples of serious allegations include:
• Accusing a teacher of any form of sexual abuse or improper contact with a student, or of making any sexual remarks, jokes or comments.
• Accusations of physical abuse or violence towards a student that cannot be justified as reasonable force.
• Racist or religious slurs, or any other offensive language or comments directed at a student.
• Allegations relating to a teacher's skills, competency and professional behavior (for example, being drunk or under the influence of drugs).
Be aware: once a serious allegation has been made, it must be properly investigated. Teachers will be suspended while the investigation takes place. For many teachers, even if the allegation is proved to be completely false, the fact that it has been made will taint their reputation. It is often assumed that the fact an accusation has been made is proof enough of a teacher's guilt.
Every effort should be made to preserve the teacher's anonymity while an allegation is being investigated. The media or local press should not be given any details until the case is fully resolved.
If you are the victim of a serious allegation, you should still expect the support and understanding of your work place. If the allegation is true it is better to admit to it straight away and seek legal advice rather than lie about it. Be honest about what has happened and accept full responsibility for your actions.
What to do if you are falsely accused
- Ensure you get some legal support right away.
- Contact your union or other similar group for advice.
- Search online for support groups who can help and support you.
- Gather as much evidence as you can to contest the allegation. Make a list of students, staff and other colleagues who may be able to act as witnesses for your defense.
- Although false allegations are very damaging to any teacher, don't lose heart. You don't have to give up on your career just because of one malicious claim.
