“Mrs. Williams, who waived her right to anonymity, said: ‘None can bear to have us out of their sight because they think we won’t come back. They believe they were taken into care because we didn’t love or want them anymore.” (Daily Mail, 12/23/08)
Los Angeles, CA–In this story , UK’s version of child protective services took custody of a couple’s children on trumped up charges of sexual abuse. Tim and Gina Williams’ three children were placed in separate foster homes for two years before authorities admitted they had made a mistake. The Williams then sued the town council and medical authorities. All parties recently agreed to an unspecified six-figure settlement.
But no one believes the money will make right what these state crusaders did wrong. As Mrs. Williams makes clear, the children, who have been back with their parents and each other for over two years, still suffer the effects of social services’ wrongful intervention.
Thanks to Bruce for the heads-up.
