I should update two latest horror stories about our “child protection” technique. Final week I reported on the fate of Jonas Stadden, the 4-year-outdated Down’s syndrome boy, who died whilst in foster care right after currently being eliminated by Somerset social workers from his devoted parents (for motives unconnected with him or them, and which I are not able to disclose for legal reasons). I passed to the coroner a exceptional diary in which his mother recorded how she and his father had watched their son’s overall health steadily deterioriate for the duration of the months he was living with his foster carers, who had no experience of the syndrome.
A specifically disturbing attribute of this story was that, four days prior to the boy’s death, his father noticed he was so significantly ill (I have witnessed photographs to confirm this) that he pleaded for the foster carers to get his son to his GP for urgent health-related treatment. This never ever occurred. He continued simply to be dosed with paracetamol.
The authorities last week went into total defensive mode. Initial, the parents have been astonished to see Somerset council claiming in the nearby media that, right after the boy’s death, they had given the loved ones “full support”. Then, on Tuesday, the coroner himself circulated every single media outlet in the area with his discovering that, since a post-mortem examination had shown the causes of Jonas’s death to be “broncho-pneumonia and Down’s syndrome”, no guidance from doctors could have saved him. There was no need to have for an inquest, he explained.
This discovering so appalled the dad and mom, who have been taking specialist healthcare tips themselves, that they have drafted their very own press statement, pointing out what they see as glaring holes in the coroner’s account.
Broncho-pneumonia, as I have been assured by a properly-recognized health-related professional, is “eminently treatable” with antibiotics, as the mothers and fathers noticed when they took Jonas to hospital with a prior attack of pneumonia, seeing him on the way back to wellness inside hours.
Down’s syndrome experts insist that it only “very rarely” triggers the death of youthful kids, unless an additional situation intervenes.
One of the physicians, cited by the coroner as advising that absolutely nothing could have been carried out to conserve the boy, has been doing work closely with the social workers ever since they intervened in the situation last March. On the day of Jonas’s death, according to a report, she went to “comfort” the foster carers, while the social workers simply left it to the police to tell the parents that their son was dead.
Most glaring of all to the mother and father is the coroner’s failure to make any mention of the father’s insistence before Jonas’s death that he essential urgent healthcare consideration. Not remarkably, the mothers and fathers record in their statement that they are not only “numb with grief” at the death of a son they had expertly cared for all his existence they are now shocked by how perfunctorily the coroner, in their view, has absolved the “care” technique of any blame for what befell their child.
On a a lot more good note, I can report that “Wendy”, the sane mother incarcerated in Calderdale Royal Hospital soon after her distinctions with Kirklees social employees (see my write-up “The lunatics have taken over the asylum in ‘caring’ Britain”), was on Tuesday informed by the psychiatrist who had sectioned her as “psychotic” that she was to be released right away. Because of “that newspaper article”, she would now have to be reassessed by “a crew of independent psychiatrists”. Much more will need to have to be explained about this disturbing episode in due course.
