JUST JUSTICE-ITS THAT SIMPLE!!!

LINDA IS A FRIEND OF MINE....I FELT COMPELLED TO COMMENT ON THIS TRAGIC STORY......

HOW CAN ANY ORGANISATION THAT PROFESSES TO CARE, HOW CAN ANY LOCAL AUTHORITY OR INDEED GOVERNMENT, JUSTIFY IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, THIS BARBARIC TREATMENT OF A YOUNG MOTHER AND BABY....     WORDS INDEED FAIL ME, SHE WAS PURPOSELY MISLEAD BY THOSE THAT WE AS A SOCIETY ARE MEANT  TO TRUST  WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.....SHE MISSED 33YEARS OF HER DISABLED DAUGHTERS LIFE, ONLY TO FINALLY FIND HER WHEN THE YOUNG LADY HAD UNFORTUNATELY LOST HER BATTLE AGAINST HER AILMENTS AND LOST HER LIFE.......WE ARE ALL TAUGHT TO FORGIVE, BUT I SINCERELY BELIEVE THIS MOTHER MUST FIND THAT THE MOST HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD TO DO.......THERE IS NOTHING ON GODS GREEN EARTH WORSE, THAN BEING DEPRIVED OF YOUR OWN CHILD.....MY THOUGHTS, ARE THAT AS A MOTHER AND VICTIM SHE WILL NOT FIND PEACE UNTIL SHE FINDS JUSTICE FOR HERSELF AND HER DAUGHTER AS THEY HAVE BOTH SUFFERED IMMEASURABLY AND UNFAIRLY.......(GOD BLESS YOU LINDA) XXXXX

.

i am a mother who in 1972 gave my child into voluntary care because i had no money and also had a 2yr old child. lived in a 3 bedroom flat 3rd floor and being naive, i didnt know what to do for the best; so i agreed before my daughter was born that she could go into care for a short time.....  

6 wks after my daughter went into care, i was told by a social worker my daughter had been adopted and was doing fine with the new foster parents who i was introduced to at the hospital and handed my daughter over to them i remember there names and was told a bit about them....

however when i came to hear this news about my daughter, i moved from the area to my sisters address and lived with her for some time.... but i gave social services 5 relatives for my daughter and my forwarding address when i left the area.

As i was under the assumption my daughter had been adopted, i had been searching for her  through various organisations and support groups, but no one knew of her or had files for her as i was asking for information about adoption files....

i started my search again when my daughter was 18yrs old, again, only to be told that there was no more information that can be given to me. so i stayed with support groups who tried to help me.

For many years i searched and searched, i was told by "after adoption" to obtain a new full birth certificate for her to prove if she had been or not been adopted. it turns out she had never been adopted .....

One day i was reading the local paper and saw an orbituary with the same name as my daughters, so i rang the funeral parlour to enquire if this could be my daughter? who in turn said, they would ring social services to say they think the mother had come forward.

but 2 days later i still had no reply, untill i phoned my mp, with his help i got the phone call asking me for the childs name and d.o.b and was told yes, it is your child. i was then asked, would i be going to the funeral?  i said yes, i would be going to the funeral..... im her mother and ive searched long and hard for many  many years.

the funeral was the next day at 2.00pm so i had to go to the funeral parlour to see my daughter, for the first time since birth in the chapel...

i then went to the crematorium
to see her cremated against my wishes.  after the cremation i asked what would happen to her ashes???    i was told oh we dont know yet as theres a foster family involved. only now i know she was just the foster sister and had no jurisdiction over my daughter, as it was her parents who were the foster mum and dad but had passed away.

By this time i was getting really upset because no one would tell me what was going on, to cut a long story short, i got my daughters ashes and her belongings some 4months later.  i attended the funeral and was later told that i could have been anyone.   i have so many files for annettes (my daughters) life now, including medical notes saying, that in 1994 she was found with bruising to her arms back and chest.  Also the organisation that cared for her would just monitor my daughter because, they couldnt find out how she got these bruises again in 1997......

she was seen by a psychologist who devised a plan for my daughter, this was to have 1 cigarette a day cut up into five pieces to eat!!!!   Apparently, to try and stop her picking stumps up from the floor, which in the reports i have, these say she did this from the age of 2yrs.

But in others it says, she couldnt walk till she was 3 1/2yr old....In 2001 she was losing weight and it was put down to anaemia and womans troubles nothing was done. In 2002 she went again to the doctors with bruising to her inner thighs and the doctors report read that in his opinion it was not accidental, it was more like non-accidental. By this time, she had lost so much weight, she was rushed to hospital as a 999 patient with stomach pains, but sent home.  In 2005 they then decided to do a scan and found out my daughter had bronchial pneumonia and had cancer of the stomach, but it was inoperable because they had left it too late.....there is a lot more medical evidence, my mp is also trying to help me get some justice as not only have i not had my daughter with me but my human rights have been violated,as has my daughters.

My daughter could not talk and had learning difficulties........ From the age 18yrs she had lived in a residential home where all these things happened and also was moved to another residential home for the last few years of her life.    she died 25th oct 05 aged 33yrs old.
as i say, i have so many files and medical files with so many discrepencies it is unbelievable .......
