THREE FORCED ADOPTION articles in the National Portuguese Newspaper Publico

Ana Dias Cordeira is the journalist who wrote the most diligent and detailed articles about the Pedros at the time. Now she studied the underlying issue more deeply and wrote an article that reads a bit funny in the Google translation: Cases of children removed from families in the UK grew up with incentives to adopt.

Among the thousands of families who say they have unfairly lost the kids, in recent years, a few dozen arrived in Brussels. The European Parliament asked for an investigation to the European Commission.

The case of Pedros’ family, whose five children were removed in 2013 in Grantham, and the Portuguese mother in May this year was without the baby of five months in Southend-on-sea, are the most visible side of a situation which affects other Portuguese families living in the United Kingdom – will be at least five – and, in recent years tens of thousands of mainly British and foreign families.

The frequency and severity of cases is not now, but this year prompted a petition to the European Parliament with more than 3,600 signatures involving families who claim to be victims of unjust processes, completed, in some cases, with the irreversible adoption of children without their consent.

PERSECUTED for petitioning against Forced Adoption in Brussels

The Americans say “any publicity is ok, just spell my name right.” This does not apply to the UK and certainly not to victims of secret family courts. The Pedros were the first to be persecuted for having travelled to Brussels on 19 March 2014. They were arrested on 21 March for 12 hours and the Search Warrant said that Police ought to look for evidence of the ‘Forced Adoption group’. The arrest resulted in:

• Police confiscating telephones, computers and travel documents
• Police indicating that it was Lincolnshire Social Services who had made the application for the Search Warrant – suspecting that the Pedros were conspiring to abduct their own children – a charge yet to be seen formulated on paper
• for the Police refused Carla copies of the transcript
• and the Court refused a copy of the application for the Search Warrant.

No wonder that ‘experts’ of the legal system confirm that ‘disclosure’ continues to be the most sensitive of all issues. An alternative to ‘disclosure’ is ‘exposure’:

• thanks to BBC LOOK NORTH who said that 35 of 37 adoptions in Lincolnshire were forced, i.e. dispensing with the consent of the parents; see on this Facebook page for now.

However, since then,

• Emyr Wyn Jones was punished by Carmarthenshire Council for having travelled abroad;
• Terence Steele had his article completely mis-represented in his local paper in Sutton;
• Bhupesh Patel is being punished by his son not being named according to his religious tradition but ‘the SS way’ – completely contrary to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and EU Convention on Human Rights.

Hence

• John Hemming MP’s Early Day Motion Petitions to the European Parliament [do get your MP to sign it!]
• and our press release UK VIOLATIONS of EU LAW and CHILD RIGHTS.

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS caught up in UK ‘adoption scandal’ – in an English paper in Portugal

An article for English speaking residents in Portugal!

No Punishment without Crime or Bereavement without Death!

This is a very good and comprehensive article about the latest state of affairs around the Pedro couple – in an English speaking newspaper in Portugal. I am especially proud as I took the pictures!

Since then, the best news is that they’ll be seeing John Hemming MP as well as their local Nick Bowles MP tomorrow!

And at 9pm their story will be on Portuguese TV: use this link: http://www.rtp.pt/play/direto/rtp1

Maybe it was all worth it: the wading through documents, attending court in Lincoln and being kicked out for ‘not being independent’, preparing for Brussels and being there…

My current suggestions for action are on

• What Next? After our pilgrimage to Brussels
• Dear Sir James: return our children and make adoptions reversible!

This is a very good article about the Pedro’s situation and fight to get their children returned by Lincolnshire County Council.

Here’s my latest summary of What Next after our Pilgrimage to Brussels? for all other parents concerned.

And below is the 6-minute video where I speak on behalf of the

• 1,000 children taken by Social Services every month
• 100,000 children currently in foster ‘care’
• 50 children dying a year, whilst in ‘care’
• 10,000 children running away from care and / or go missing
• 200 parents imprisoned a year in the privacy and secrecy of the family courts.

These are official statistics provided by OFSTED and the Minister of Children and Education Edward Timpson MP.

Truth is stranger than fiction once again. The details are on Belinda’s latest Battle News.

In bullet language (corrected after we spoke with them in person and saw the papers):

• the Pedros were arrested by 4 Police Officers at 7am with a search warrant that is part of these 10 pages with which they were sent home;
• released after 12 hours – having been seen by a good duty solicitor who has even won against Social Services – but they’ll have to pay for him if they want to keep him;
• they have to go back to the Police on 21 May;
• their warrant mentions the Forced Adoption ‘group’.

Here are my six minutes addressing the topic:

“A Portuguese couple who have lived in England for 11 years accuses British Social Services of having taken unjustly their five children, of whom two are put up for adoption. The case resulted in a petition to the EU Parliament which joins two dozen complaints by families of various nationalities.”

You may not understand Portuguese, but in these 3.33 minutes you will see the room in which we met the Petitions Committee and members of the EU Commission to present our petitions. Subsequently we visited the UK Embassy and British Consulate:

• Latvian Laila Brice and her daughter regarding Merton Council who took her little girl 4 years ago
• Lithuanian Ale Ambrasaite whose daughter was taken by Kingston-upon-Thames because she had an alcohol problem; but contrary to their promise, once the problem was solved, the daughter was not returned.
• The collective problem of Forced Adoptions and the systemic nature of child snatching in the UK.
• The visit to the UK Embassy where the folder of evidence was not accepted. Instead, two attaches were sent to the British Consulate to close the consulate for our messengers who were sent there in vain. A diplomat arriving in a posh car was surprised to find his work place closed…

This screenshot was taken after I accepted Google’s offer to translate. To read the whole article, I need unfortunately to be in Portugal!

A validation code works only  ‘apenas para Portugal’. I wonder why that is, but am not enough of a hacker to get beyond that hurdle. Maybe we’ll get a paper copy at St Pancras station or in Brussels!?

Here’s an article that appeared already in a local paper: http://punishmentwithoutcrime.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/family-from-almeirim-loses-five-children-in-england-published-in-portugal-just-before-brussels/

Keep your fingers crossed for our delegation of 32 people which includes the Pedros and many thanks for all your support received already!

Here’s what we’ll deliver at the UK Embassy!
