The former head of the Family Court has written a powerful column- calling on political parties to address the “scandal” of Deprivation of Liberty Orders: the most vulnerable children detained and restrained, instead of being helped.

Judges are sick of locking up children who just need help. Why has nothing been done?

Lack of provision for complex cases in England and Wales is a moral failure, says a former president of the high court’s family division

Great to see @Channel4News on this issue -- back in November I reported a case I'd followed through the Family Court ... of a mother who spent £30k to remove parental rights of her paedophile exhusband ... ... @HarrietHarman then added amendment that's

‘I paid £30k to protect my child from her paedophile dad’

Family court hearings are often tense as judges decide whether children should be taken into care …or which parent they should live with. One parent may allege the other has abused…even assaulted or raped them.
