New laws in the UK have threatened parents who are blocking child access and ruining their childrens lives. This will come as a breath of fresh air to the many groups set up for the countless parents and family members who never see their children or grandchildren.

Sadly this has had some bad feedback from so called experts (Anthony Douglas) from Cafcass, who are suposed to advise the courts in what they they think is the best interest for the children.

‘I’m not convinced unpaid work will change the way people think or behave,’

‘It might be the right thing to do in a handful of cases. But what we really need is more specialist family support services with counselling for both children and parents.’

So not only does he think this should not be used, he is trying to keep Cafcass in the spotlight and give him and his workers more paid work. Cafcass was given the worst grade in a report by Ofsted and was told they were putting children at risk. They have been linked to countless forced adoptions and are one of the main subjects my readers email me about.

Harry Fletcher, spokesman for the probation union, Napo, said it could see thousands of people, mainly women, criminalised. ‘It could mean that distraught mothers do unpaid work alongside persons convicted of criminal offences,’ he warned. ‘It would conflict with childcare responsibilities.’

I love the choice of words here “It could mean that distraught mothers do unpaid work” like the other parents or grandparents are not DISTRAUGHT enough with not seeing their children or grandchildren! These “women” knowingly BREAK court orders and should have consequence! Right now they can break the orders and have NO (Thats right ZERO) consequences for breaking them… Apart from a judge Read more »

OMGZ HARRY POTTER

I was just having a browse around Amazon and noticed a BIG banner advertising The Tales of Beedle the Bard! The last I read it would be sold at aution to a sole owner… So I guess JK has seen how many fans she would annoy and decided to sell it.

She has given two versions of the book… One of which you can ONLY buy at Amazon! It looks amazing and will surely be worth a bit in the future (Ill be buying one for sure)

Both versions have all five fairy tales from the original The Tales of Beedle the Bard  by J.K. Rowling.

This The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Collector’s Edition (Offered Exclusively by Amazon) comes with loads of extras like the bag with JKs name on and a big book style box to keep your collectors version inside. I do not know if id dare to read this one… So i think ill buy myself a £4 version along with it

Of the best things about this version is that £20 GBP per unit from the sale of the Collector’s Edition from Amazon.co.uk will be donated to The Children’s Voice Campaign.

They are also selling aThe Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition that is being sold much more cheaper! I think this is what will be sold in most stores.

I am sure these books will add yet more amazing back story for the Harry Potter fans (Like myself). It is what everyone has been waiting for… But what makes it even better that that JK is donating so much to The Children’s Voice Campaign.

I would normally say that I hope this will do well… But we all know it will be #1 and get everyone reading again
I just hope we see more treats like this in the future Read more »
