When 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

How many children need to be taken from their parents, before the world says NO? 10,000 a year is not enough yet?
How many parents need to be gagged and threatened with prison, before other countries say NO to the UK? Here’s what’s unique in the UK to facilitate forced adoptions. If you have lost your child(ren), please consider filling in this form to let the online world know – anonymously of course.
How many more children need to go missing (currently an estimated 10,000 a year), before their parents make institutions accountable?
How many farces / charades and masquerades need to be staged as ‘court cases’, before Parliament takes responsibility for an ‘independent’ judiciary? ‘Not Open to the Media’ even – despite Camilla Cavendish’s campaign in The Times in 2008?
Parents are now expected to PAY to see their kids in ‘contact centres’. How Stalinesque does the UK want to be?
These are some of the questions that fuelled my ‘wrath of god’ to start the petition Stop Forced Adoptions in the UK. More

The latest article in The Telegraph about the family courts is not by but about Christopher Booker! It illustrates how commitment and perseverance to one’s issue may actually get you somewhere, some time… Open up family court hearings, says senior judge – A senior judge has made an important ruling in favour of transparency in the family courts: to allow Christopher Booker to be as rude as he likes to be, because of freedom of speech, and to provide access to court papers, i.e. to remove a gag or injunction. Mr Booker said and wrote “the decision to lift the injunction was a victory for common sense and the rule of law.”
Mr Justice Mostyn is the current President of the Family Courts and he has set a crucial precedence with a ruling about the right to breastfeeding that refers to a milestone case before the European Court in Strasbourg: taking a baby at birth is a “Draconian and extremely harsh measure”.
But the battle to lift the veils of secrecy that shroud the “secret courts” we already have is very far from over, and behind those veils far too many cruel abuses of justice will continue to flourish unreported.
Lord Justice Munby has now called for “greater transparency, and radical and comprehensive reform of the family court system.” More

The plane landed: this is the translated title in a Slovak paper of the story that is typical for institutionalised child snatching aka State Stealing Children or State Kidnapping.
However, in an unprecedented way, this story ended with the return of the children – mainly due to the involvement of the Slovak government. Not just the Embassy here in London. That was not enough:
That could NOT quite be ignored by the Court of Appeal and the return of the boys was promised before 4th January.
Today, on the first day of the New Year, the plane landed in Bratislava!
On 4th January, Christopher Booker told the story in the second part of his weekly column in The Telegraph: Free at last - a Slovak Family Happily Reunited.

Why The Paedophile Politicians & Royal Family Want To Silence The Alternative Media is the remarkable story by the most remarkable blogger Chris Spivey.
It tells the ‘strange’ experience of discovering paedophile material on the web and how police, the Daily Mail and hackers dealt with it – each in their own way.
Twitter child abuse accounts closed after hackers expose content is the resulting Daily Mail article.
What do we learn?
- there are vested interests in paedophilia just as there are in money
- Police and Mainstream Media are part and parcel of the ‘system’ that ensures children are supplied and delivered to abusers.
At the other end of the spectrum, where children are snatched and parents are criminalised, Social Services, Family Courts and lawyers are complicit.
What kind of Karma are we all experiencing?
How can we stand up better for our children and grandchildren?
How can we give meaning to our lives and make sense of what we’re seeing?
With my very best wishes for 2013,

I only know one of them: American Melissa Laird who has not had seen her then 4-year old boy since December 2011, when she was separated from him in Spain. She was on her 16th day of not taking either food or drink when we visited her yesterday.
But nobody takes any notice. Except those four inmates who also find it unbearable to be separated from their children ‘without sound reason’ or ‘just cause’, as the Slovak Government refers to ‘care’ and forced adoptions in the UK. One of the mothers is Russian.
Another exception is a journalist and author who booked a visit. But later he got a call to cancel it!… He has been advised that a Judicial Review would be his ‘remedy’, i.e. next legal step.
It is not ‘nice’ to think that UK Police and Social Services used a hospital visit for Melissa’s little boy in Spain as a pretext of snatching him. Pretending that she could only see him again, if she were to sign an extradition paper, they took hold of him and flew her to HMP Holloway.
A number of family court hearings took place where at least twice she was not ‘produced’. But who cares, as long as Social Services get what they want, the child, and the judiciary appears to put a legal blanket over their wrong-doings?
She is being held on ‘immigration issues’ and a judge recently refused bail because “the welfare of the child” is of paramount importance. So far, nobody had the decency of establishing a DNA test to prove that the boy is hers or get witnesses to attest what a good mother she is. And what lies is the boy being told???

Thanks to a woman in HMP Holloway whose son was taken by Barnet Council, I learned about this book. She says that 60-70% of all women in Holloway used to be in care, adopted or live with foster parents… She also said that one of the prison warders said that 40-60% of all mothers whose children are taken are foreigners…
This is one man’s harrowing story of frustration and determination as he battled for access rights to his young daughters following the bitter break-up of his marriage. Incredibly, his was a journey that spanned almost ten years, with 133 hearings by 33 judges, and which reportedly cost the taxpayer over GBP1 million.
What should have been a “simple contact dispute” somehow resulted in this innocent family man effectively being criminalized by the family courts, resulting in a stretch on the A Wing of the infamous Pentonville prison, which housed convicted murderers, terrorists, gun runners and drug dealers.
Mark Harris eventually took his case public and the campaign for fathers’ rights took off – with the formation of Fathers 4 Justice. This is a shocking story that deserves to be heard. Here is a Daily Mail article about one of his acts.

In my observation, most victims of Social Services and secret Family Courts tend to believe in justice and fairness, until they experience very harsh realities.
This was true for a Slovak father who lost his two sons to foster parents who were allowed to adopt them.
When he gave up believing in The Rule of Law, he spoke to the press and TV in his home country. This TV news reported on 21st August 2012 on the ‘absurdity of Social Services’ as well as a protest against child snatching in Nottingham. 
He lost his £50,000 p.a. job as well as his house, due to the trauma inflicted upon him.
He knows of some 30 Slovak families who are affected as well as many others, especially from small countries.
The TV programme caused John Hemming MP to table this Early Day Motion: HUMAN RIGHTS and FORCED ADOPTIONS in the ENGLISH and WELSH COURTS. Please ask your MP to sign it!

This Family Justice Private Members bill is amazingly comprehensive and reflects John Hemming’s exceptional intelligence: studied physics, speaking five human languages, while typing umpteen programming languages AND playing three musical instruments to performance standard!
One cannot but trust his judgement. He is extremely well informed by virtue of having over 1,600 family cases on file. But as listed here, he is also or has been on the right kind of Select Committees to ‘know what is going on’ and to assess the best leverage for change in Parliament:
- Regulatory Reform
- Procedure
- Joint Committee on the Draft Legal Services Bill
- Modernisation of the House of Commons
- Backbench Business
- Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments
- Standing Orders.
