Well, dear Supporters, is this 'success'? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31089412?post_id=545913581_10153075319913582#_=_ My late husband used to say "it depends how you measure success. The Japanese measure it by the number of risks taken." BBC News picks up the programme filmed when we were in Brussels for the meeting of the Petitions Committee on 11 November 2014: on iplayer for another 25 days http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0517wdc Where do we go from here? 1. We need to get those 'whistleblower kids' back who were 'sacrificed' so that they other children who are being abused can be helped. That was the intention and hope of the mother and there is quite a bit of online activity regarding the case - all in the latest update to the 150 signers on https://www.change.org/p/the-rt-hon-theresa-may-mp-return-whistleblower-kids-and-abuse-survivors-of-london-school-to-their-russian-family This case presents shocking evidence of children being wrongly taken, potentially given to the abusive parent, authorities committing crimes to cover up crimes and the legal process purely being used to legitimise crimes. 2. There is going to be a workshop in Brussels with the Vice President of the EU Parliament who is responsible for PARENTAL child abduction. I told her about STATE abduction and we will see what opportunities that workshop will provide for waking MEPs up to the realities of the UK. 3. In April the Council of Europe will be debating this report about Social Services across EU member states: http://victims-unite.net/2015/02/06/when-is-it-ok-to-remove-a-child-from-its-birth-parents-council-of-europe-debate-in-april/ Then we shall see what else we need to make happen. Some of us are dreaming of an EU Court for Child Rights since all existing institutions have been failing us so far... Have a good weekend: online AND offline! Sabine
