Child Sacrifice and Trafficking in Holland: An Eyewitness speaks out (Introduction).

Published on 8 May 2013

During Kevin Annett’s visit with us here at Freedom Central, we have been contacted by several people with some very interesting stories.

Meet Toos of the Family Nijenhuis, a very brave woman who came to meet Kevin Annett at the event Freedom Central hosted for him. Following of from the disclosure of some very sad but important facts, we immediately arranged for an interview with Toos.

This is an introductory clip of the story. There is almost 3 hours of recorded testimony that will be released shortly as part of the initiative being put in place by ITCCS Holland.

This is truly the most difficult interview we have ever conducted, and Freedom Central was very grateful for Kevin Annett’s help in interviewing this very important witness.

Supreme Court Disciplines Hudsonville District Court Judge.

See on Scoop.it – Xpose Corrupt Courts

LANSING, MI (WHTC) - The Michigan Supreme Court concurred with the State Judicial Tenure Commission today and ordered a 30-day suspension without pay, along with a public censure, for Hudsonville District Court Judge Kenneth Post. The discipline stems from a December, 2011 hearing in which Post jailed an attorney on contempt charges for advising a client to plead the Fifth in answering questions from the bench about drug use.

waine-warren‘s insight:

Circuit Court judge tosses out contempt of court charges against attorney

Post sent Millard to jail after he refused to let his client answer questions about past drug use. The client was charged with being a minor-in-possession of alcohol.

Millard believed that by allowing the questioning, it would violate his client’s right not to incriminate himself.

The 2011 hearing involved some terse and pointed comments from Post.

“(The) judge does not decide whether to bring charges, the prosecuting attorney does,” Edward Post wrote. “So the client’s answer could be used against him in a later proceeding.”

Kenneth Post did not make a mistake when he asked the defendant about drug use, but he could not compel the man to answer, Edward Post ruled.

After the brief court hearing, Millard’s attorney Josh Blanchard said he was happy to see the ruling reversed because it had broader implications beyond his client.

“The finding of contempt by Judge (Kenneth) Post had a real possibility of chilling an attorney’s ability to properly advise thier clients,” Blanchard said. The minor in possession case will be assigned to a different judge.

DR. DAVID SOUTHALL AND THE GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE

Dr David Southall

Dr Southall’s conduct was not a mere error of judgment in a challenging environment where there may have been few established principles for guidance. Nor was this a one-off failure with respect to the treatment of parents whose conduct had come under scrutiny. Public confidence in the science of expert assessment in those cases where serious issues of child protection were indeed raised would be undermined, if egregious behaviour of the kind under consideration here when combined with the lack of insight into or acknowledgment of its nature and extent was considered to be compatible with continued registration as a medical practitioner. I therefore conclude that the panel was not wrong to impose the sanction that it did. This appeal is therefore dismissed. Text to full judgement>>>

A Very Dangerous Doctor, Channel 4 Video.

Sir Roy Meadow Meadow the paediatrician struck off by the General Medical Council for giving misleading evidence

Professor Sir Samuel Roy Meadow (born 1933) is a British paediatrician who rose to initial fame for his 1977 academic paper on the now controversial Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP) and his crusade against parents who, he believes, wilfully harm or kill their children. He was knighted for these works. He was instrumental in the procedure of a widely recognised great miscarriage of justice. He endorsed the dictum that “one sudden infant death is a tragedy, two is suspicious and three is murder, until proved otherwise“ in his book ABC of Child Abuse and this became known as Meadow’s Law and at one time was widely adopted by social workers and child protection agencies (such as the NSPCC) in Britain.

The Court of Appeal found the GMC panel had not given adequate reasons why it chose to accept the mother’s evidence over that of Dr Southall and the social worker. Lord Justice Leveson said: “I would allow this appeal, although I must make it clear that this conclusion is not a condemnation of Mrs M or a vindication for Dr Southall and should not be seen as either. On any showing, the panel will have to consider what penalties should be imposed in relation to the other proved charges.”

4-yr-old placed in foster care of suspected paedophile – Council tries to cover-up

4-yr-old placed in foster care of suspected paedophile – Council tries to cover-up.

See on Scoop.it – Public Law Children Act Cases

Council placed four-year-old in foster care of suspected paedophile then spent £23,000 trying to keep blunders a secret Bristol City Council left girl with family despite suspicions the father had accessed child pornography. Despite child’s identity being protected, council said all details of the case should be kept from newspapers. Its expensive bid to hush the scandal up cost thousands and was overturned at the High Court.

A council spent £23,000 of taxpayers’ money trying to gag reporting of a case where it had placed a four-year-old in foster care with a suspected paedophile.Bristol City Council tried and failed to obtain a High Court injunction which would prevent embarrassing details of the case being made public.Social services took nearly three weeks to remove the girl from a foster family, despite the father being under suspicion of possessing indecent images of children.He later killed himself after police took a laptop away from the property which contained a cache of child abuse images.Despite the little girl and the children of the suspected paedophile being automatically granted media anonymity, the council still tried to obtain a blanket gagging order.On the final ay of the two-week hearing in October last year, the council’s barrister Jo Lucas went to the civil court to get an injunction banning any reporting of the case.Temporary restrictions were then put in place to prevent publication of Bristol City Council, or the names of the social service workers who failed to protect the little girl.But these were overturned in London’s High Court in January following a costly three-month legal wrangle.

Mr Justice Baker ruled it was in the public interest for the story to be published, but that the identities of the girl, her family and foster family should all be protected.

A Freedom of Information Act request has now revealed that the ‘external cost’ of the legal wrangle to Bristol City Council came to £23,528,40.But the true cost is likely to be much higher as the quoted figure does not include the time council employees spent working on it.The hefty bill included £11,730 for legal advice, preparation and representation by Robin Tolson QC for two High Court hearings in London and one in Bristol.The council also paid the legal costs for the foster family, which came to £3,623.40.However, a spokesman for Bristol City Council today insisted the legal action was only taken to protect the identity of the child.‘The object throughout was only to protect the identity of the child,’ he said.‘It is important to realise that automatic reporting restrictions in respect of children subject to care proceedings do not last once the proceedings have ended…‘

The council did not think that this was in the child’s best interests and, as the press were already involved and had attended some of the hearings in relation to the care application, we considered that we had no option but to seek to protect the identity of the child beyond the care proceedings.’The case at Bristol’s Family Proceedings Court heard that concerns were first raised in March 2012 when the girl had been living with the family for three months.Police informed social services that child sex abuse images had been accessed at the house for the second time.Unlike the first incident, which was blamed on a foster child at the house, the police strongly suspected the father had accessed the sick images.But despite being informed by police, social services did nothing for two weeks, leaving the little girl where she was.The child also told her real father and a social worker that she had been ‘strangled’ by another child at the foster home, but still she was returned to the house.Social worker Sherilyn Pritchard told the hearing, chaired by Annette Young, that there was ‘not enough information to justify immediate removal’ of the girl when the allegations arose.

The child’s appointed legal guardian said: ‘I think we have to bear in mind that she may have been sexually abused in that foster placement.’Chairman of the magistrates Mrs Young criticised Bristol City Council for not following child protection procedures, saying: ‘These matters concern us greatly and we believe should be thoroughly and forensically investigated and reviewed in an independent forum.’No disciplinary action has been taken against anyone from social services following the council’s internal review, but an independent review has not yet been published.High Court judge Mr Justice Baker said the authority’s bid for a gagging order was ‘unjustified’, adding: ‘It is in the public interest for these matters to be published.’The girl is now in a new foster home. But speaking at the time of the court hearing, her natural father said: ‘I am livid.‘They said she wasn’t safe at home but they put her where someone had been downloading child abuse images.’He added: ‘There is a danger that those who practise in the family justice system fail to give proper consideration to the Article 10 rights of the media. This must now cease.’Robert Oxley, Campaign Manager of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘This was a shameful attempt to suppress the media from reporting council bungling. ‘It’s a disgrace that Bristol City Council have spent taxpayers’ money trying to hide its involvement in a very serious and disturbing case.

‘Questions must be asked not only of those responsible for the mistakes in the original fostering case but also of whoever authorised the use of taxpayers’ money for the legal action to cover it up.’

Ms Monkhouse is also the Area Manager for children in care. Shortly after speaking with Ms Monkhouse informing her of what I did find, I receive an email from her informing me she is now leaving. Social Worker Miss Laura Bonner played same stunt too. All she did was move to different department.

Can you understand why when you complain about their service why your complaint goes nowhere, because you are complaining to the service provider, who claims to be independent and is also employed by the council. There is no way they want to pay anybody damages even though they are insured. So when a foster child or a parent does make a complaint, the first thing the council does is to bury the complaint, because this is their business.

Prisons chief admits failings in service over sexual abuse

Prisons chief admits failings in service over sexual abuse

See on Scoop.it – Xpose Corrupt Courts

The former director-general of the prison service Martin Narey has admitted that the service dealt inadequately with sexual abuse during his tenure, following a Guardian investigation into the sexual abuse of young offenders by prison officer Neville Husband.

Sir Martin Narey, who worked with Husband and was director-general from 1998 to 2003, admitted to the Guardian: “As director-general, I was intolerant of physical abuse and racism and sacked a lot of staff … but at that time there was very little awareness of male-on-male sexual abuse, either in prisons or in wider society.”

Husband, who ran the kitchen at Medomsley detention centre in County Durham, is know to have sexually abused teenage boys between 1977 and 1985. When the prison service suggested that he be promoted to a different establishment, governors wrote letters supporting his applications to remain at Medomsley. When he was finally moved, to Deerbolt young offenders’ institution, another allegation of sex abuse was made. Husband left the prison service in 1990 and went on to run two churches in Gateshead, where children in his congregation also complained of abuse, though parents did not pursue the matter. He was eventually convicted in 2003 of sexually abusing five young inmates at Medomsley and sentenced to eight years. He died a year after his release in 2010.

The Guardian investigation has found that 26 victims have so far come forward. It is estimated that Husband abused hundreds of young offenders during his 25 years in the prison service.

Shockingly, Husband’s interest in young boys was known as far back as 1969, 34 years before he was convicted, when he was arrested at Portland borstal, Dorset, and charged with the importation of pornography from Europe. The material seized included sado-masochistic images involving teenage boys. Husband admitted showing the material to boys in his care, but the charges were dropped when he said he was conducting research into homosexuality.

At Husband’s trial, prison officers admitted “there was general knowledge” among staff about Husband’s sexual abuse but that they did nothing about it.

Speaking in today’s Weekend magazine, the former Medomsley boys, now men in their 50s, talk about Husband’s impact on their life. Kevin Young became addicted to drink and drugs; Richard Hall attempted suicide and says he still thinks about killing himself every day. Young went to report his abuse the day he left Medomsley, but he said police told him not to pursue the complaint unless he wanted to be returned to the detention centre. Until recently, Durham police denied that he had made a statement on his release, but they now admit that a number of complaints were made by former inmates, “particularly in the 1970s and 1980s”. Victims now say they are considering suing the police.

Narey, who went on to be chief executive of Barnardo’s, the charity for vulnerable children, believes that the officers who had failed to report their suspicions should be investigated. “There is hardly a hair’s-breadth of culpability between Neville Husband, who abused children, and any of the staff who apparently knew about this and failed to take their concerns forward. In my view there is a case for the police considering whether their failure to protect children amounted to aiding and abetting.”

waine-warren‘s insight:

Narey, who worked with Husband and was director-general from 1998 to 2003, admitted to the Guardian: “As director-general, I was intolerant of physical abuse and racism and sacked a lot of staff … but at that time there was very little awareness of male-on-male sexual abuse, either in prisons or in wider society.”

Sir Martin Narey, turned his back on them?

‘Little awareness of male-on-male sexual abuse‘ and what does he mean by this?

Does Sir Martin mean that he had never heard of homosexulatiy before?

Rape is about men, not about the sexuality of the victim. Is Sir Martin really stating that he is unaware of this fact?
