social services are really bad when i left my expartner due to domesitc volience they placed my children with my brother who had raped me as a child they moved on then to my abusive mother and as i had to stop her from smacking them the way she did me they took her side and told me i needed to step back form them i asked social service to put my children somewhere else while they found me and the children a safe place in a refudge i had a break down due to every thing that had gone on and was told they had to stay with my mother. when i did manage to get them at a hostal they childern were so messed up in the head i had real problems with my middle one she kicked and screamed at staff and anyone who came by her i soon found out that not only had my mother hit her but my brother and his wife did to. when we finally move to a house outside of the area we had been in for so long i asked socail service for help on a number of times the be told it was my parenting skills with her then last year they decided after i asked for help again that if i could not cope with my children they would remove them from me and send them to live with family. with this throwing them out was the only choice i had i complained and found out there manager did not want me to carry on with the complaint. since then my kids have been classed as my carers and help me when needed they dont get much help from younge carers as social services said they would but with the help of my good frined between us we helpped my daughter to understand that what happend was not her fault and shes grown in to a vey happy child same as my other two daughters have.social service need to take a good long look at themselves they let a lot of children and families down and there is no need for it. they say you can ask for help when needed but they dont give it at all

i agree with ure commnts about baby p but i have social services involved with my 19 month old daughter they have now split my family apart me and my daughter live with my mother in law and my husband live with his father really i think that this what they have done to me and my family is diabollickal as any changes and assessments that thhey are having to do know should of been done at the beginning not starting in febuary this year. but on the other hand they should be more acessable and more considerate for people and their feelings.

Hi I sit here in disbelief at the comments that have been made. I fully support that there are failings with ALL agencies working with children but it seems that Social Services are completely scapegoated without individuals having full knowledge of what is actualy going on. I believe that the death of baby P is tragic and completely unacceptable and should have been avoided at all costs. However there are lying and abusive parents who will do whatever it takes to fool and cover up their abuse. Mr Peters you know only too well after having read your book of what parents are capable of doing. It’s time to stop this witch hunt of social workers who are tied to policies, proceudres and shit timescales and start targetting the real culprits who are the government officials who put these measures in place. Only when they listen and only when they change the politics and ridiculous policies will social workers be able to do what they passionately want to do, and that it protect all children both in need and at risk of harm. Mr Peters I beseach you, change your tactics from personalising individuals who do care and want to protect to attacking the government officials who put unrealistic measures into place.

I think if social services has to visit a family more than once, drastic measures should be taken straight away. I’m 16 years old and I could run social services better. Baby P was so beautiful too, how could any human being want to hurt something so small and gorgeous, many people try for years to have children and those wickid people abused and took for granted their baby.
I hope they rot in prison, and I hope it haunts the minds of social services forever.

I can’t believe I read in the paper last week that a parent was jailed for smacking a child when the abusers of Baby P and others go undealt with! It says it all really how screwed up the system really is.

I was going to become a social worker but given there bad name less people are wanting to become one, instead i am doing a child physcology course and hoping to become a child counsellor, having been brought up in a violent household (my step dad) i already have the feeling of what children feel themselves, social services are disgusting there’s a parent around my area who is a alcholic and also an heavy drug user she has young kids one whom has just got out of hospital due to injuries her mother has caused yet when neighbours report this to social services they won’t do anything due to them saying that we has a community are keeping an eye out on the children!!!! something seriously needs doing about social services before more children are killed
