There's a palpable "detached arrogance" that prevails amongst the upper echelons of social services in the UK. This invariably trickles down to the effectiveness of overworked social workers on the 'frontline' and manifests itself in tragic cases such as Baby P.

Whilst I'd admit a lot of cases where abuse was obvious, and then not acted upon - was due to gross negligence, incompetence and bad management practices. However, given that feminism has a undeniable stronghold within social services itself, I'd assert a number of cases where mothers are abusing, they are deliberately ignored by caseworkers, up to managers, whose allegiance is to feminism first, children second.

Also, there's been many documented stories (worldwide) where social workers assigned to women's shelters have turned a blind eye to women abusing their children. Who else is going to report the child abuse? The feminist mafia running the shelter?

Disclosing that 55 children or babies were murdered by someone who knew them last year, the report said that 200,000 still live in homes where there is a high risk of abuse or domestic violence.

Yes, that "someone" being mostly their mothers. Do you think they would have hesitated to specify the gender in repeated print if fathers were the biggest murderers?

Why aren't these physically abused and murdered children "officially" recognised as domestic violence victims then? Answer: because women are the worst perpetrators of it!

Think about it. Is it not violence? Yes. Is it not violence committed within a domestic setting? Yes. Therefore one must logically conclude that the act is domestic violence.

Here is how the BBC first covered this story, here's a quote from the story;

Of the seven deaths being examined in serious case reviews, two of the children were murdered by their fathers and four were less than one year old at the time of their deaths.

There is absolutely no mention of how the other children died, this is just an example of the media portraying fathers in a bad light while at the same time protecting mothers from such stigma.

Same old story. A small but tragic number of children steadily die horrible and totally unnecessary deaths in forgotten places in our society; the media eventually latch onto a particularly harrowing case; there is a brief wave of intense publicity and anger, to which the government respond by holding an enquiry; the enquiry takes several months sifting through the mess, during which time the heat dies down and attention gets diverted elsewhere; the enquiry produces its damning report which exposes just how rotten the whole system is from top to bottom; a large raft of changes are recommended; most are ignored but a few cosmetic ones are introduced; then the whole system subsides into its old habits, with the same people in the same jobs who failed before carry on failing in pretty much the same way again, but this time with yet another layer of bureaucracy that they don't have a hope of complying with; the report gets shelved and forgotten; everyone slips back into the old routine; and children continue to be tortured and die under the noses of this disjointed army of pen-pushers, paper-shufflers and blame-avoiders.

Repeat pattern ad nauseam.
