h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I can realy relate to this, although my own expernaces are not even as severe and from a difrent vantage point.

My own family a few years back were investigated by social services, though malicouse rumers going around the local population. I'm just glad that in my case I wasn't abducted. And yet the people wh make the alergations (now amounting to severl times) never get a slap on the wrist, never get told to be less 'socialy responsable'. I'm sure we've all had our problems in life, but I can honestly say, my experances are pailed in comparesent.

All experiences like this are difficult to deal with. It doesn't matter if you weren't taken into care, like my kids were. It was still a scary thing for you.
Parents get little respect or support in our society. A fact that contributes to the overall illness of social injustice. Parents need to be respected, not torn apart in some "witch-hunt", if they are going to be able to be effective. Even the ones who DO abuse their children need to be supported in positive ways, if they are ever going to change the way they do things.
Decimating and demoralizing someone the way I was, only leads to more hopelessness, grief, and apathy. It also adds to the resentment someone may be carrying, and doesn't promote a desire to "get better".
No one deserves to have such things happen.

Aparntly, Social Services (UK) is run by the councils and unlike the education department with big regulators, you got lots of little places saying difrent things all tring to be the politicaly correct supper heroes of their wet dreams, unfortunatly, it nice to think in back and white, but subjecting it to other can have a far reaching effect.

as for socity, huh! I've sceen better comunication between microbes. some people 'trying' to do the right thing, and others doing it for themselves. With no real benift to anyone.

"Socialism", when approached with common sense, has it's place in society.
When used as a source of power and control, as with what happened to us, it becomes "communism", and eventually "Fascism".
I want "Big Brother" out of my life.

Big Brother is the state, I just want the people around me to stop being so tetchy and untrustworthy. the state is run and it's run be people who 'know whats best'

This is way easier said than done, but perhapas it's time to look for new friends? Ones that support and accept you unconditionally
Like people here!
I know this seems like a trite post. It is one of the most difficult things to do, especially when you've not got many people around. But, somewhere there's someone who will be there just for you, who isn't untrustworthy, etc..

There better be. I'm looking around for some like that near me, too

I've got two friends, of whom I trust uncoditionaly, even if I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. one is an intulectual and the other a bohimian. no one else seems to be interested in learning and the world in general.

The people I speak of prevously are from where I used to live, back then. problems possisted and some people thought they new 'what was best' for me and the rest of my family, and so problems get worse and we moved. things are better now I'm glad to say.

not perfect, but better.
