SECRECY: the Cloak of Criminality? Who can do what about it?

15 Comments

12 06 17 secret childWhen John Hemming MP joined us at our Westminster meeting in January 2011, to explore a Public Inquiry into White Collar Crimes, I knew that ‘secret prisoners‘ were his ‘pet subject’:

  • the use of the Court of ‘Protection‘ to steal the assets of mainly elderly people, by declaring them ‘not to have capacity’ to instruct solicitors
  • as a result, people are secretly imprisoned.

At the time, I did not know as much about secret family courts as I wish I  never needed to learn:

  • secret family courts are used to sanction and ‘legalise’ the child snatching carried out by Social Services – supposedly in the ‘best interest of the child’
  • I launched Stop Forced Adoptions in the UK as an online petition that non-UK MEPs want to take further in Brussels, as soon as 2,000 signatures are reached
  • I re-vamped Ian Josephs’ www.forced-adoption.com into Punishment without Crime, as he has been advising between 3 and 6 parents a day since the sixties.

Now I have seen how extra secrecy was used in a family court case:  More

13 01 14 TyrannyOnce again: you only believe it when it hits you yourself or someone you know:

  • Norman Scarth had to flee the country he nearly died for in WWII, for he did not get justice during 17 years he experienced as harassment that included imprisonment
  • his crime: using a recording device without having asked for permission first
  • today he was sentenced to 28 days but suspended for a year – so it won’t happen unless he breaks the law again.

In response to mailing everybody who had signed the petition to free him, Mike wrote that he also had to flee the country, after his mum became a victim of the Court of ‘Protection’ and the Office of the Public ‘Guardian’ in the UK.

  • Their story is one of unfortunately many where officials make sure they can put their hands on any of the assets involved.

Appeals soar after secret courts are opened to public

Isn’t it nice to get good news in a New Year!

This article in The Independent will make John Hemming MP smile, I hope! for he has been fighting for ‘secret prisoners‘ for such a long time. They are the worst after the secrecy of family courts.

Maybe 2012 will become the year of breakthroughs!?

Norman Scarth on Video in Royal Courts of Justice today – with some 30 Supporters

22 Comments

Norman Scarth’s case (summarised on the petition to free him) was presented today at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Norman attended by video link from Leeds, was in good mental health, and he presented his case to the judge in very respectful and polite terms.

Judge Wyn Williams DENIED NORMAN DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW. He adjourned the case until next week, sending Norman back to prison. There was coverage by Russian TV, and a few members of the press.

The judge ordered that Norman be allowed to have contact with legal representation, which the prison has been denying him. However, he refused to order that Norman be given his prescription medication, thereby forcing Norman to be kept in torture for a further week.

WWII Veteran Jailed for 6 months – for Audio Recording in Court; Prisoner number A1903 CF

11 07 27 Your country needs YOUOnce again: you cannot believe it, for you can’t imagine it.

Norman Scarth was born in 1926. He proudly wears the medals he earned fighting against  the threat of complete Tyranny. Now in his eighties, his latter years of his retirement have been hijacked by constant harassment and targeting from the authorities. This is the kind of tyranny he and so many others fought - and died fighting against. (And still exist in SO many countries across the world).

Links below set out the history of his case. The Help Norman Campaign calls for sending him things to prison.

He is now imprisoned for 6 months and we fear for his welfare (when detained previously he was roughly handled and injured). His  ’CRIME’: AUDIO RECORDING IN COURT.

Maurice Kirk’s saga is enshrined in a room full of files. No comparison to Mr Ebert’s suitcase of documents!…

Recently Maurice followed Mr Ebert’s model of WANTED posters to pinpoint those judges whose judgments have affected his life most detrimentally.

In the light of what judges do in family courts, Stephen Glover wrote Judges are unelected, out of touch and shockingly arrogant.

Recently, Maurice and I completed this text as a summary of his odyssey and he said “this is still worth breathing for” – at 66, recovering from a hip replacement carried out in France, for the NHS refused to release the medical records without which his surgical team wouldn’t operate… More

220 signatures and more than 1,100 page views on Stop the Secrecy in Family Courts petition

I would never have thought that I could watch signatures coming in on The Secrecy of Family Courts should be lifted NOW!

11 05 22 SecretBut with this lovely image, David Icke listed it under his headlines. Since 2006, he published over 80 articles referring to the State Stealing Children.

The challenge is to get 100,000 signatures together which would give us a formal debate in Parliament. At the current rate it’ll take us three years!

The comments by signers are really worth reading – just in case anybody thinks that family courts act “in the child’s interest”.

And if you do want to know about “child protection & family justice” with academic certainty, do visit Dramatis Personae – a most comprehensive index of all the players in the UK and Wales during the last 30 years.

Can we demonstrate that institutionalised child abuse is a matter of Public Interest?

4 Comments

Whether it’s cancer, bankruptcy or child snatching: we’re only concerned once we are touched ourselves. And when it hits us, we’re looking around: who’s there to help / console / advise us???

When your child is being taken away and you have to flee to Ireland like a political refugee – as happened to Vicky Haigh – to make sure that “Unborn Haigh” is not snatched as well, I feel helpless and powerless.

But I also feel enraged. And it’s this ‘wrath of god’ that fired me into starting another online petition – so that we can show we are NOT isolated cases. We are part of a horrible pattern of institutionalised abuse, violence and cruelty.

Will you click and sign The Secrecy of Family Courts should be lifted NOW?

Wasting police time is a punishable offence. But “The police hunt is on for Vicky Haigh, though she is not a ‘missing person’”

Christopher Booker keeps the world informed with the aid of The Telegraph, while we are getting ready for our appearance in Court 45 in the Queen’s Building of the High Court of Justice on Monday morning at 10.30.

What upsets me is the 7-year-old girl who is the sad and serious victim of her sexually abusive father since she was three. He has got everybody on his side:

  • Social Services of Doncaster Council
  • The Police hunting Vicky down after they kept her in custody before, once because she had sent a Christmas present to her daughter, i.e. she was supposedly violating a “non-molestation order”…
  • CAFCASS
  • and his mother, a former headmistress, who is now the “guardian” even though guardians are only appointed when parents are not alive any more…

For Vicky’s daughter, every day is another day of trauma! Read the sanitised version of the chronology of the case: My Daddy is a Paedophile.
