DEAR CHARLIE - FREE AT LAST FROM YOUR PERSECUTORS

THE TEDDYFICATION OF CHILD SUFFERING
AN OPEN LETTER TO JETHRO WILSON, BROTHER OF ELEANOR WILSON, THE BANNED TEACHER
Dear Mr Wilson,
I can understand that you may want to display a family loyalty and support your sister.
However, the issue in question has such grave implications for the safety and well being of pupils, that your family loyalty cannot go unchallenged.
You state that your sister denies have sex with the pupil on the trip back from Geneva.
However your sister apparently continued in a relationship with the pupil for the following seven months, texted him and met him for drinks.
She also apparently tried to cover up the relationship she had with the pupil and misled the Head about the nature of their relationship.
You and she may take a position where you dispute what actually occurred sexually between her and the pupil (exact details are often known only to the couple themselves), but what appears to be admitted by all, is that your sister was in an inappropriate relationship with the pupil.
It is wholly unacceptable and an abuse of trust for a teacher to be anything other than a teacher with a pupil.
Instead of you and your sister defending her position, it would do far more good if you were both candid about what took place, admitted what went wrong and was wrong, and contributed to the debate about how best such inappropriate relationships can be prevented. You can offer advice and suggestions about how schools can be better equipped to deal with such matters, how not to be fobbed off by a deceiving adult, how not to discount a child's testimony and how best to respond when an inappropriate relationship is suspected and how, following exposure, it should be handled, in the best interests of the child.
Yours faithfully,
Archbishop Jonathan Blake

COURTS SHOULD LISTEN TO CHILDREN'S WISHES
Family courts believe they can understand the complexity of domestic situations. It is because they are so often in error that they shroud the whole process in secrecy. It is not to protect the children, but themselves.
It is a grave mistake for courts to override a young person's wishes and contrive their future and the consequences are invariably detrimental. Writing a letter to the child, demeaning and criticising the father, is a destructive and humiliating act that should receive censure.

CHARLIE'S UGLY DEATH SYMPHONY
The sweeter, heavenly music comes from Charlie's two devoted parents, whose love has battled these invaders of their tragedy, whose desire was to take their baby to the oasis of home, and denied that, to an oasis of privacy, away from the torment of the death insisters and controllers, to spend time with him. Denied even that, their love exposes the lie behind all the sycophantic words and clever arguments employed to 'justify' the denial of the their wishes.

UNDERSTANDING AND HELPING A CRIMINAL INSTEAD OF JAILING THEM

LEAVE THE PATH
THE POLICE HANDCUFF A 10 YEAR OLD AND HOOD MANY ADULTS
So now they are even handcuffing children as young as 10.
Body cams must be worn at all times by the police and all violence outlawed, other than in extremis.
The regular use of spit hoods is a further sign that the police's use of violence, instead of alternative methods of restraint and crisis calming, provokes dangerous levels of conflict and distress.

HEADTEACHER TOLD OF SEXUAL ABUSE BUT TOOK NO FURTHER ACTION
They are just the glossy techniques used to cover up abuse, protect adults and shaft children.
Here is an all too typical example of a Head, informed about sexual abuse against a pupil, but doing nothing about it.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4734594/Female-physics-teacher-joined-Mile-High-club-pupil.html
THE AUTHORITIES COVERED UP THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF A SEXUAL ABUSER AND 'RAPE'
Here, a helpless autistic man was 'raped' and the official body responsible for his safety, covered it up.
The Care Quality Commission concealed a series of sex alerts they received about alleged incidents of abuse.
The Deputy Manager of one of the 'care' homes was a convicted sex offender.
Reports warned that residents were being sexually groomed.
Care workers were told not to report the fears of a rape having taken place to the police.
This was 20 months ago and no charges have been brought.
The Times can't give all the details because they are gagged from doing so.
What can be said, is that a known paedophile and sexual predator, was allowed, by the authorities, contact with vulnerable people. It is known he 'raped' one of them. Staff were told not to tell police. Vital DNA evidence was destroyed. Officials did not raise the alarm. And guess what....the CPS decided they wouldn't press charges. And further the CQC described the 'care' home as being a place where the residents "felt safe", with caring staff who "understood abuse and how to report it".
You cannot trust the authorities, the Quality Commissions, the police, the CPS or the courts when it comes to sexual abuse and because so many within the system are corrupt and collude with the abusers, gagging orders are used to block the investigators and the activists and to conceal the corruption from the public.

TEACHER BANNED FROM TEACHING FOR LIFE FOR SEX WITH PUPIL
It is encouraging that when the police fail to act and the courts fail to act, there is a safety net to guard our children.

RESCUE CHARLIE FROM THE INTERFERENCE OF THE STATE
The State with its big ugly brutal insenitive and out of touch hands has the grip of Charlie on the one side and two humble, broken and yet courageous parents are on the other, desperate to be able to do what is right for their child.
I back the parents 100% against the fierce over reaching, puffed up and self important State and its chattels, who have let go of common sense and are administering the poison of heartless officialdom.

OXFORD AND LABOUR'S DISGRACE
Attaching legal notices to the cold wet sleeping bags of homeless sleepers and threatening them with a £2500 fine.
Can't you tell that this smacks of the detritus that emerges from those who lives are so privileged that £2500 is tiddlywinks and the inconvenient visual nuisance of a rough sleeper, garbage to be swept away into the trash.
Oxford, symbol of the elite, of billions of pounds of wealth and advantage, of the highest academic reaches on earth, has decscended now to become a symbol of the nadir of civilisation.

GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL''S CALAMITOUS APPROACH
Sometimes events reveal what otherwise remains hidden and Charlie's plight has exposed a deep malaise at the heart of Great Ormond Street.
A comprehensive review must take place, and changes made, so that the wishes of parents, protecting and fighting for the health of their baby, must be respected, as must their desire to nurse their beloved at home.
A hospital must never again become a fortress and a prison. Doctors must never again usurp the love of devoted parents. Courts must never again barricade a child from being able to receive treatment offered elsewhere.
Charlie's plight has become a plight in which so many ordinary families have shared.
I have often been incensed when doctors and nurses, acting beyond their remit, have denied proper requests from families for different approaches to be taken towards their loved ones, even refusing to facilitate their palliative and terminal care at home.
The health services of the country should not bully patients and their families or abrogate a person's right to choose their destiny.

CHARLIE MUST BE ALLOWED TO GO HOME
visited upon a family and their baby. They have imprisoned a baby within their regime and system,
barred the baby from receiving the help offered by the Pope and by the President of America,
prevented a doctor trying an experimental therapy, blocked the parent's attempts to save their baby's life, traumatised them by taking the matter through the courts and now, they are insisting the baby die under their control, in their buildings, in their way.
There could not be a crueller and more twisted demonstration of institutional bullying than that witnessed over little Charlie.
His parent's wishes for him to return home with them must be respected.

CELINE DOOKHRAN'S DEATH SHAMES OUR CHAUVINIST WORLD
The subjugation of women in the name of religion, culture and tradition is abhorrent.
Yet, thoughout the U.K. it is rife.
From FGM, to segregated education, to separate worshipping areas, to arranged or forced marriages, to required concealing modes of attire, to pay differentials, to job inequalities, to domestic chores, to child care practices, to sex trafficking, to rape and violence, women are repeatedly threatened, restricted, de-humanised and discriminated against.
It is shocking, unacceptable and must be stopped.
It arises from an approach that commodifies women. Men believe they have the right, most wickedly that God has given them the right, to own, command, rule over and control women. They say that women have to abide by certain roles, functions and rules and that they are the enforcers.
We must rid ourselves, our nation and our world of this evil.

A SCOOTER RIDING ARCHBISHOP
Saturday, July 22, 2017
BURY DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S SERVICES,CARRILINE, RESIGNS, GUILTY OF SERIOUS MISCONDUCT
Instead of scrupulously following safeguarding and child protection procedures, protocols were broken and information leaked to those who might be affected.
The children were shafted.
Reports about the paedophile had been given to the police, but they had taken no further action.
It was a brave individual, who risked much, who blew the whistle.
Instead of that courage being met with officials acting properly, it met with corrupt officials, acting to protect various self interests, and put at risk the children involved.
The Director of Children's Service's, Carriline, broke a string of strict guidelines.
Favours and improper motives are said to have driven the corrupt officials.
Carriline has been found guilty of serious misconduct. He and the Chief Executive, Owen, have resigned.
If one cannot rely upon the safeguarding procedures and safeguarding officers and Council officers then children are at great risk. If the police and the courts can also not be relied upon to protect children then it falls to brave individuals, like the Oldham employee, to step up to the mark.
