What will make me stop blogging.
Essex County Council to accept fully that they have harmed my children and have caused them long lasting damage
To fully accept that things went horrifically wrong and that my children were significantly harmed because of that.
That my children were not listened to, their voices were discarded and that they were treated as if they were an afterthought.
That when it became clear that our situation and our lives was not how Essex County Council had decided to portray them that instead of putting things right, they covered it up causing further harm.
That all of this has significantly affected my children’s education, their mental health, and now as they move into adulthood, their adult lives.
That Essex County Council brainwashed me into believing that my husband had sexually abused my children, utilising Laurette Robertson, and who I believe to be Alison Barnes, to keep me behind after the ICPC and not let me leave until they had brainwashed me into believing my children had been sexually abused. That they used tactics such as threatening i’d lose my children, that if I refused to accept he’d done it than I must have done it myself.
That they deliberately targeted me at my most vulnerable as they knew it would be easier to brainwash me at that time.
That Essex County Council forced me into disclosing intimate details of my childhood sexual abuse over the phone when they realised they should have already asked me about it and it would look bad that they didn’t. That they made me beg over the phone to do this in a safe and secure environment, that this carried on even though my children were present and Essex County Council could hear my child asking me why I was crying while still forcing me to carry on.
That Essex County Council are directly responsible for my child’s suicide attempt, after they emotionally abused my child utilising various social workers to do so. Most notably ignoring 10 years of consultant paediatric neurology medical records and instead choosing to tell my child over and over again there was nothing wrong with them until such time my child blockaded themselves into their bedroom and self harmed, which was actually a good choice by my child because the other option they considered was throwing themselves out of their bedroom window as they were so much in fear of their abuser who was trying to get in. Their later suicide attempt was a direct response to telling Essex County Council about how they had been treated and how it had been wrong and being ignored.
That the child above continues to live with significant mental health issues, to the point they rarely leave the house, because of Essex County Council’s action, and lack of care.
That two of my other children are also still suffering from significant mental health issues directly caused by Essex County Council which significantly affect their daily lives, their education and will do for the foreseeable future.
That Essex Council have covered up what has happened to my family instead of helping us recover from what happened to us.
I want full accountable, I want to see integrity from the local authority, I want action, and I want change.
I want the local authority to put robust systems in place so that when things happen, like what happened to us, that they act quickly and fully to lessen the harm that is caused and safeguard the children and families affected and enable those children to look forward to bright futures instead of futures overshadowed by the trauma caused by the local authority.
The local authority should be keeping children and families safe, they should be acting in the best interests of the child in every single thing they do.
In our case they should have it recorded in multiple ways the ways my children, using their voices, stating how much they have been harmed, the trauma that Essex County Council put them through, the abuse they have suffered at the hands of Essex County Council.
Instead of keeping my family safe, Essex County Council has sought time and time again to keep itself safe, the officers and members have been complicit in covering up the extensive trauma that has been inflicted on my family be Essex County Council.
This is not acceptable.
Their behaviour is not acceptable.
I refuse to stand for it.
I’m not going to stand for it, I refuse to let my children be treated and abused in this way.
So this is my promise, i’m not stopping. I’m just getting started.
The truth will come out, it is contained within the pages of this blog and i’m not yet done.
I’m vulnerable myself, and there is plenty I have yet to talk about because of my own mental health.
I’m breaking through that wall because it needs to be done, they need to be held to account and I will do so.
I have this blog, I will utilise the power of social media, I will contact the press.
I will use every single avenue that is available to me.
It may take time, it may take years.
I have the truth, which is powerful. I have four children who have been significantly damaged by Essex County Council. The truth will win. It may not be this year, it may not be next year, but the truth will come out.
Essex County Council exploit vulnerability, it’s at the heart of everything they do, and then they cover things up knowing that most of their victims are unable to speak up.
They mistook my vulnerability for weakness, I am not weak, I am strong, and i’m in this until the bitter end.
They can throw everything they have got at me, they have already had a good go at that, and i’m still here, and still telling the truth, which is the one thing they cannot stop.
So until I get what I need, Essex County Council to make themselves fully accountable for the significant long lasting harm they have caused my family, as well as for them to detail what changes they will be making to avoid this happening to other children, I’ll be here, and there, and everywhere, with the truth, holding them to account.
Not OP, but the social services are trying to deprive me of food by draining our financial resources so they can remove me from my home again because I won’t follow their orders.
They did the same to us, at one point my children were going to bed hungry and cold, they were literally eating bread and butter for dinner. Social Services didn’t care that they were hungry, that was acceptable to them. I hope you get things sorted, and i’m so sorry you are going through this.
Please DO NOT stop blogging!
I myself am exhausted and have been hammered into the ground by those that are more likely projecting their own warped minds. How dare they isolate families and torture children with disabilities and torture their parents until they feel that they have been stripped of any self worth and self respect. Making them feel naked, dirty and physically starved, yes, physically starved once those start to meddle in families finances. How do those in Essex Cunty Council and another authority which I shall not name, have the power to just cut vulnerable families benefits? To ruin vulnerable families finances which will ruin the vulnerable families lives by losing the only roof they have over their heads? Vulnerable families don’t possess second homes like those in Essex Cunty Council and the other authority. Those in authority know there has been an epidemic, they know there is a housing crisis, they know the price of food is astronomical, they know that SEND and the NHS EWMHS services are not fit for purpose, and that’s just the tip of the ice-berg of the massive ice-berg of services which are not fit for purpose. They know that they themselves are not fit for purpose. How dare they in very unstable economical times, hanging on a thread, make a living through destroying vulnerable lives. While those with enough money and nice comfy homes are enjoying the long Easter weekend… I hope you remember Jesus died a horrible death for your sins. What will you tell God on judgement day when he asks you “and what did you do for the little children? and the big children, the youth? The disabled children and their families?” The truth will come out judgement day!
