Summary points:
Mother, the Social Worker and the Risk Assessor work for the same local authority.
I am convinced the reason our children were put on a ‘at risk’ register by the SW back in August 2021 was to get mother legal aid, as was the WomensAid attempt.
Under data protection request I find emails from SW to RA saying I am 'controlling' and 'manipulative' - the RA is not a qualified Psychologist, but makes such serious allegations against me (murderer, physical risk, obsessed) - I dont know how I am going to be able to deal with this in court.
- Neither I or my family have seen or heard from the children since last May.
- having the children removed has spread in the community to such an extent I put a web page up here - family dad .co .uk to stop the confrontation (been 2).
I am a good dad. there is no evidence against me and not even a single incident. But how do I prove to a court I am good dad and not a bloody murderer? I dont feel strong enough to go through a trial having not seen or heard from the children in so long and had such harmful allegations made. I have written good bye letters as I am struggling and isn't great to have your full medical file treated as a weapon? So I cant go to gp!
