Reflections from someone who works for John Hemming MP about the challenge in helping those who have lost children.

1. When I first started out on this journey some 4 years ago, the cases
that came to me asking for help were 100% genuine… now though
like you say I find myself agreeing more and more with the
professionals and the courts that the families did require state
intervention.
Everyone has a skeleton in their closet, some bad one and some
not so bad, sadly when you find out the parents have not been
100% honest with you and you put 110 % into helping the family
only to be shafted from a great height, you start questioning your
own judgment, you end up asking yourself many, many questions.
Sadly like you say the likes of facebook, the likes of the media
attention, the band wagon seekers will always be there.…I know
for fact some of the people really caused the problems themselves
and caused the situation where the SS had to intervene.
I know there’s many genuine cases out there who really need our
help, wasting time and valuable resources on the wrong cases
really makes it harder to help the truly innocent. I have been
seriously deflated lately, seriously contemplating giving it up all
together, what keeps me going at the moment is thinking that why
should the minority spoil it for the majority.
