    DISASTER HAS FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY

    The Check up at the hospital, was a rouse,. They have decided that they now want to keep the children in the hospital UNTIL MONDAY so that they can run tests and scans for broken bones"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????? Twin2 is not allowed to stay there. but i allowed to visit.
    I have just rang Twin1 and asked her is her sister can staywith her, she is the nearest to the hospital.
    The SW was very rude to me on the phone, when twin2 rang me in a state.
    He said he "dont have to talk to you, or answer to you. I have told "her" what is happening and I dont have to do anything for "her" the kids are my only responsibility.

    As I am well aware, they do need to do these sort of things, and it is for the childrens safety, but the way they did it is wrong. He should have warnedher that it might have been on the cards, and if he was that worried about the children why was this not done last week? or at the beginning of the week. Then the scans would have been done, and not have to wait over the weekend for them to be done. I think that due to Twin2's level of understanding this is so wrong.
    I now do feel very guilty that I didnt go with her. I would not have been able to change the outcome of course, but I could have helped her with the shock.

    I hope that the SW will take her to her sisters and not back to the Hostel. As the b!tches in there will have a field day!
    They are already aware of things going on, that is suspect to who informed them!.

    So my celebration is short lived.

    Re funding, it will still take a while for me to get it, as they have to send SW1 out with forms for me to fill in,she then has to send them to another department, who have to come out to see me, and assess me, retrospectively. So I think that i will have to hold on the champaigne.

    listening to the news, I do understand the problems with children, but I know that its not the same.
    God bless that poor child on the TV at the moment.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I can't offer any words of comfort that will make things better for you, but I do understand how distressed you must be.
    The hospital appointment may not have been a ruse. The paediatrician will have made decisions about which assessment tools to use during the appointment, and after the Baby P and other cases paediatricians are rightly and naturally very cautious. I hope thngs are sorted out quickly
    Wishing you well, as always.

    Oh Mooloo,

    You must feel as if you are on a rollercoaster, it's not fair to get some nice news and then be given that news.

    Don't feel guilty about it, you have never said no before and it looks as if it was on the cards anyway. Maybe the social workers have been told to be very careful given the recent bad press they are getting because of the poor wee souls they have failed.

    I hope everything goes well with the checks and that your daughter is okay. xx

    Mooloo darling so sorry to hear this last bit of news,and do not feel guilty about not taking your daughter to the hospital.

    If anything untoward has happened to the babies the blame can be laid squarely on the doorstep of the social services and they should be ashamed of themselves the way they have conducted themselves with your families situation and lack of support to your poor girls.
    I feel so frustrated on your behalf I could spit bullets.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Mooloo you can have a say in the way your daughter and grandchildren have been treated.As your daughter has learning disabilities you can act as an advocate.
    This social worker is way off the mark in the way he has spoken to you and the way this has been handled. The best course of action would be to get your daughter legal help.
    This site is really informative. Just type in parental law uk.

    Good morning Mooloo. Hope that you doing ok? Hugs xxx
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Mooloo,
    sending big big hugs. I've been reading but haven't known what to say.
    You are often in my thoughts. You cope amazingly well with all that life has thrown at you.
    I hope all goes well with those dear babies in hospital.
    Just take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
