Every year about 11,000 children are taken into local authority care without the consent of their parents.
Help Megan Return are eight slides that fit her particular experience into the Systemic Pattern of child snatching and forced adoptions in the UK. The slides formed the background while mother, grandmother and I contributed to the debate around the story of a little girl who was taken away from her mother when she was a little over a year.
The reasons:
Ellie’s Bulgarian petition has gathered over 5,500 signatures so far!
You can’t make it up, but you can follow how this third mention of our petition will have repercussions across the UK. After all, there were quite a few ‘remedies’ that MEPs have been proposing:
Chair Cecilia Wikstrom MEP for Sweden: “No MEP from the UK is here. They were all aware of it. — Let’s sit together with the Commission and find a way forward. Let’s take stock of the instruments we have and try to elaborate a way forward.”
This petition “Help Megan return to her mother” does not even have an English text and yet gathered over 5,500 signatures online since February 2014!
Megan was born on 11 April 2012. But Peterborough City Council wanted to make money with her. Remember:
She was adopted on 13 March 2014. The reasons:
future emotional harm and mother’s assessment from Risk Solutions where she was labelled to have “maladaptive sexual scripts” by a non PHD expert of behavioural analysis.
The Bulgarian mother asked me to assist her next Tuesday after she saw my 6 minutes of passion in March 2014. She had sent this to the Petitions Committee in Brussels in February last year:
Dear members of the Committee, Continue reading
From an international perspective, England is seen to be failing. English courts don’t care about grandparents, siblings and international treaties.
11,000 children a year, 1,000 adopted a year – for the wrong reasons, i.e. forced adoption or punishment without crime.
Local authorities take children from poor families to give them to middle class families. After all they make £400 a week for ‘fostering’ a child. Why not give the money to the poor parents, I wonder???

It ain’t easy to make sense of non-sensical experiences. In fact, that’s why people become schizophrenic: when they are told one thing, but experience the opposite: e.g. “I love you” when you get hurt, or “in the children’s best interest” when it’s blatantly not true.
For me, this gap between what my senses heard and saw and what my mind was asked to process was very wide so far this week:
“You got it wrong mummy, Daddy didn’t put his winky on my bum, it was in my bum”. [Para 14]

In our attempts to draw attention to the plight of the some 1,000 families who are getting torn apart every month in the UK, I’m on “Brussels III”, i.e. my third trip to this remarkable complex of individuals and organisations, attempting to capture and live the Spirit of Europe – so admirably expressed by the Ode of Joy.
And in the spirit of net-working that I breathe in and out, I met a Romanian solicitor who appreciates what we’re going through. She has asked for Romanian victims of UK authorities to come forward. Please email me details on sabine AT globalnet.co.uk
The purpose of my trip was a meeting with the Fundamental Rights and Rights of the Child Unit of the European Commission, following a letter to myself and another one to the Petitions Committee indicating that they can’t do anything.
Well, following Peter Jahr MEP’s suggestions, I formulated these five questions: Continue reading

Here is the official recording of my presentation and the subsequent comments by MEPs who are members of the Petitions Committee, starting at 16.13:00 and lasting until 16.44:00.
Here’s the draft agenda and here is the article by the resident Telegraph reporter Bruno Waterfield: Parents fight British social services ‘gag’ to petition European Parliament: Britain’s social services “unique” in EU for “threatening and bullying” of parents who speak out against forced adoption of their children, say MEPs.
Furthermore, The Telegraph published:
But do also watch the three individual petitioners who follow!
Remember: Petition 1707 / 2013 is based on
Chairperson Cecilia Wikstrom from Sweden
The Chairperson Cecilia WIKSTROM from Sweden closed by wanting to address the issue “With our brains cool, but our hearts warm.” However, she cut me short after 5 of my 12 slides.
But the Commission offered the meeting that I asked for as a solution, even though they don’t have the budget to pay for travelling.
The following MEPs made very relevant points to address the challenge: Continue reading
Here’s the agenda of the Petitions Committee of the EU Parliament for next Tuesday. I have been allocated 5 minutes around 16.00.
This should be before the new Committee:
1. Re the previous Committee on 19 March 2014:
2. An update of the online support of signatures, a total of 8,864 signatures today:
Here’s our challenge: the European Commission of bureaucrats wrote
with some of the text repeated in the letter below, i.e. sorry, we can’t intervene…
In the light of the above, it is not possible for the European Commission to follow up on this issue.
The ‘above’ is para 3 in their letter: Continue reading
