Bag's Rants

Guilty regardless of the verdict.

This report is disgraceful on two fronts.

First this report says there was abuse but surely it is up to a court to make the final decision. I'm sure people will never guess who these people are after all these communities are absolutely massive. Everyone within a hundred miles will know who these people are. This should not be allowed.

Second, this report implies that incompetence ruined the case. If so I hope heads will roll and senior heads at that. Too many front line cannon fodder are given the boot and the true culprits are untouchable. If senior heads rolled then their replacements would certainly do something about it and fast too.

The case was dropped by the prosecution service. I assume because they believed they did not have a case. If everything is as black and white as this report makes out then surely that would have constituted a case that would have held up in court.

I feel that they are saying they should have removed the children even with the fact they didn't have sufficient evidence. Not enough evidence to prosecute but enough to remove the children. How can that be?

Why is it everything in this area seems so screwed up. They remove kids with very little evidence. Screw up entire families. Answer to nobody. The cry is always 'What about the children?' I believe they should be top priority but there must be other ways. How about more proactive monitoring in-situ? How about actual evidence rather than anonymous hearsay? This is an important area and should be working properly.

Is anything working properly in this country?
