My Husband was married to his then wife, they had two children. Their little girl who was born fine with no health problems. Then in 1999 they had a little boy who was born fine but then on the 31st March he was 8 weeks old he was at home with his mum and dad, his dad was in bed has he worked nights as a folk lift driver. About 6pm in the evening they were having there dinner and the little boy made a high pitch scream, his dad had left for work he got to work and was told that his son was rushed to hospital. He was unresponsive and he had vomited and was jerking.
The Doctor saw him and said it was baby shaking syndrome. The Social Services got involved but still let the children go home with there mum and dad. They had the Social Services checking on them, they forced there dad out of the family home. And they let mum kept the children. The court made no orders and their dad still has contact with the children even now.
In 2002 we meet, we got married in 2003, we tried in for a baby in 2004 and our baby was due in January 2005. We asked the doctor if my husbands health could affected our baby and a red flag lit up on his computer. They made out my husband was guilty even though he had not been charged or had his then wife. The Social Services decided to have a child protection meeting before our baby was born. They said I was not allowed out of the hospital when our baby is born. I had the baby 3 weeks early because of the stress the Social Services was giving us. I had our baby in December and we both told to leave the hospital and we came home. We named her Crystal, she was two days old, we were at home, and my husband and father-in-law had gone to the shop. I was at home with my mother-in-law, there was a knock on the door and there were two Social workers and two Policemen. They snatched Crystal whilst she was in her Moses basket.
We were told they had an EPO (Emergency Protection Order); in fact it was just an application for an order. Making this action kidnapping and illegal.
We went to court the next day 31-12-04, my parents and my husband's parents were their and our solicitors as well. I was told to leave my husband; the judge was implying that my husband was guilty. I left him for 4 months so I could get Crystal back. Which I did, I was at my mum and dads for four months with our daughter.
The social Services decided to turn up un-announced and said they wanted to talk about what to do next, my dad was their on his own. My mum and I with Crystal went to see my Nan which I had permission to do so. They forced my dad to go with them to my Nan’s, so they turn up and snatched Crystal again. In front of my 87 year old Nan. She had a heart attack at the time, which she was told about later.
We had to go to court and they accused us of colluding with my husband to keep Crystal away from the Social Services. Our Solicitors forced us to admit to it, we had nothing to admit. Crystal was put in foster care. Crystal has been in foster care since April 2005, we had contact with her twice a week, and there was also a separate contact session on his own with Crystal. We did loads of assessments and had passed all of them. They had lied in court and said we failed all of them. We had our final court hearing on the 23rd October 2006 and the outcome was for Adoption.
We have not seen our daughter since November 2006. We miss her so very much; we want her home where she belongs.
In March this year we tried for a stay of execution to stop the Adoption which failed. My husband and I have had a great miscarriage of justice. Every time we went to court we lost. The court went with the local authority at every stage of the case. We have written to Andy Love (Our MP) and he has done nothing at all.
We are still fighting for justice; we will not give up fighting. A message to Gordon Brown, “We want our daughter back”. We will bring the government to it knees if this is not done.
