Councils’ £4.5 billion
child snatch fraud
Unbelievably, council workers and solicitors
are milking £4.5 billion nationaly from our
council tax and legal aid, by snatching children
from their parents on false pretexts they
need to be taken in to care.
The resulting court battles, council specialists
and consultants are then able to stretch
out the custody, care, foster and adoption
procedures for a year or more, pocketing
around a million per child.
Wrecking young lives
All this is our taxes, used to wreck innocent
children’s lives and devastating the lives of
parents, all for private profit.
The racket begins when social service officers
identify poor or defenceless parents,
preferably a single mother. They then snatch
her child or children, quoting a false deficiency
in her parenting.
The next step is to call in consultants, either
themselves or their associates, to prepare
expensive psychiatric reports on both
the children and the mother, for which they
pay themselves as much as £25,000 a month
in additional fees. They call in solicitors they
work with, one to represent social services,
one for the child. Except the one purporting
to represent the child is actually working
with social services too.
Solicitors from hell
The two sets of solicitors then work together
against the interest of the mother and child,
dragging out the affair for as long as possible.
demanding more psychiatric reports, often
taking the mother in to care too. The solicitors’
bills grow to hundreds of thousands
of pounds, more with deliberate delays and
adjournments; the social services staff make
fortunes out of the consultancy.
The trauma the mother goes though is
unbelievable; the trauma the children suffer
with the separation and moving around
inside the ghastly council care system can
be with them for life. None of that matters:
there’s a million to be shared between council
workers and solicitors.
Common Purpose is complicit
This exploitation is enabled via the EU’s
Common Purpose, a criminal organisation
that manipulates our legal and local government
systems for private profit, using
members operating inside and outside government.
If social workers need a firm of
solicitors to act corruptly, the Common Purpose
network has solicitors as members. If
they need to shut up parents or grandparents,
the CP network has members in the police
who will arrest them on trumped up charges.
If they need external psychiatrists to falsify
reports, CP has them. It has magistrates and
judges as members.
Maria Wallace, Chief Constable of Devon
and Cornwall Police, who had to leave hurriedly,
is also in Common Purpose. Common
Purpose has been set up to run local government
after the European Union abolishes our
19,000 councillors and our 48 counties.
Our corrupt legal profession
The former Chairman of the Law Society,
Janet Paraskewa, is in Common Purpose,
which may explain why corrupt lawyers
are protected, instead of being struck off.
The Law Society did not act when firms of
solicitors scammed £800 million from the
government’s compensation for miners. The
Serious Fraud Office had to be called in to
solicitors like Beresfords.
Perjury in secret courts
In secret family courts, social workers and
solicitors routinely commit perjury to pervert
the course of justice. Instead of sentencing
them to time in jail, judges, who are acting
criminally, protect them. A fair trial is now
a rare exception in places like Plymouth. If
the solicitors or judges are exposed, they furiously
threaten newspapers and individuals
alike with injunctions and arrests. They appear
to see perjury as their automatic right.
Each year 200 parents and grandparents
who attempt to expose this miscarriage of
justice are sentenced by bent judges to up to
six months on false charges of contempt of
court to shut them up.

See Melanie’s Hell, this page, and page 7.
Melanie, now 24, was awarded custodyof her children, and returned to Falmouth
to live with her parents, Paul and Elaine
Garvey, on 27th October 2005. Melanie had
post natal depression after a difficult birth
and caesarean with her premature daughter.
That was the excuse the council later used
to pounce.
Melanie’s Cornwall
County Council hell
Cornwall’s Corrupt County Council
In November Cornwall County Council
Social Services told Melanie she could
not look after her own children, and forced
her out of her parents house. Mr and Mrs
Garvey, in their 40’s and experienced parents,
with six lovely daughters of their own,
four now grown up, continued to look after
them.
In December 2005 a Dr Metcalfe put Melanie
on heavy medication for over a year
(600mg a day of Quietepane “enough to
bring a grown man to his knees”). In May
2006 social worker Ken Phillips came to
their house and left saying “I’m off on a
snatch now.” That was a foretaste of the
future.
Snatched by Ken Phillips
In June 2006, Social Services snatched
Melanie’s two children, both under four
years old, from the safety of the Garvey’s
loving family home and put them in foster
care with a view to having them adopted.
They were devastated.
A Dr Choudry wrote a report in September
2006 saying Melanie had learning
difficulties. This is extraordinary; Melanie
has 10 GCSE’s, and a City and Guilds in
hairdressing and beauty treatments. He also
accused her of substance abuse; she’s never
taken harmful substances and has hair
strand analysis reports to prove it.
Threats by Social Services
Then Melanie was told she would have
to live with her children in an assessment
centre in Swindon, Wiltshire if she wanted
them back. After a further 4 months she
passed the assessment with flying colours,
even though drugged with Quietepane
while being assessed. Cornwall County
Council said they would stop the adoption
and look for a house for Melanie. Mr
and Mrs Garvey suggested a second house
owned by a family member, and then a flat
they could rent. Cornwall County Council
rejected both.
Just before Melanie left the assessment
centre one of the staff verbally assaulted
her son and shook him violently, and Melanie
complained. Dr Hibbert, who runs the
assessment centre, changed the report from
good to bad. Ken Phillips and Dr Hibbert
got Melanie in a room and told her she had
to sign the children over for adoption or
they would be split up and put in different
foster homes. Melanie, who said she feels
like a zombie on Quietepane, still had the
sense to refuse.
Isolated and controlled
This has been the pattern; each time Melanie,
or her family, try to stand up for her,
Social Services wreak their vengeance on
Melanie tenfold. With their threats against
her children, they control her completely.
In February 2007 Melanie and the
children were moved in with a foster family
in an isolated hamlet north of Dartmoor.
There are three caged dogs in the house
which concern her. Ken Phillips has seen
them; is that why he chose that foster family?
When her family complained Phillips
visited and again threatened Melanie with
the children being moved up country and
being split up.
Rigged trial No. 1
Melanie spent the 19th to the 23rd March
2007 in Truro County Court. Cornwall
County Council had a barrage of “Expert
witnesses” falsifying their statements to
Continued on Page 6
EU methods and corruption are sweeping through our councils, courts and legal profession.Independent Melanie’s hell from Page 1suit the Social Services line. The trial was
effectively rigged - the only person to speak
up for Melanie was the CAF-CAS representative.
Judge Vincent ruled in favour of
the council - we ask is he incompetent or a
member of Common Purpose?
The barrister appointed for her was equally
useless, and Melanie quotes her as saying
“I’m off to get my money now; don’t worry
you’ll see your children in 16 years.” (Barristers
have to get a legal aid signature from
the court before they can be paid.)
The Judge granted Cornwall County
Council both a care order and a placement
order for adoption. Now Melanie had lost
her children, the Garveys were told she
would be taken off the Quietepane - but now
she seems to be back on it.
Injunction - Statement under duress
Social Services staff had recommended
Foot Anstey, Plymouth Solicitors to represent
Melanie. They did not seem to present
any evidence in her favour her or fight her
corner in court. In fact their main contribution
has been to write threatening letters to
Mr. Garvey, and get an injunction against
him to force him out of the proceedings and
the appeal hearing altogether, to further isolate
Melanie. She phoned to say she was under
duress when they took her statement.
Foot Anstey have completed Melanie’s
isolation; she’s cut off from all avenues of
help.
The solicitors organised an appeal on
the 9th May 2007 at the Appeal Court in
the Strand, Westminster London. The court
costs were astronomical - and delayed matters
further by ruling for a full retrial in
July. The total costs to your taxes are probably
already over a million; clearly Social
Service plan a larger jackpot on this case.
The Garvey’s have seen the Barristers fees
quoted at £35,000 resulting in one hour in
court.
Police threats to Paul Garvey
As all Paul Garvey’s attempts to get his
grandchildren back through official chan
nelshave been blocked, he has put signs
up on the main A39 and outside his house
telling the public Cornwall County Council
are child snatchers. The police are threatening
to arrest him, and called round several
times; Mr Garvey had the good sense to be
out or hide and pretend he was out.
Demonstrating, with or without signs,
is of course not an offence. But under the
governments new legislation he could be arrested
on this trumped up charge - or indeed
no charge at all, and held for 18 days. Every
knock on the door is a worry - presumably
that was the intent behind the threat.
Malicious arrest warrant
That injunction was pure character assassination,
and prevents him from doing things
Mr Garvey would never do, but much of
which Foot Anstey are doing right now, including
harming his daughter. Mr Garvey is
now not allowed to see Melanie.
Foot Anstey then falsely accused Mr
Garvey of breaking their injunction, and set
a warrant for arrest hearing with three days
notice. Melanie was in court, guarded by
three staff, to ensure she could not get help
or speak to her family.
The trial date was set for 6th June. This
necessitates employing a solicitor to defend,
and Mr Garvey’s been quoted £5,000
in fees. The crooked solicitors’ cartel wins
again. But the simple fact is he has almost
no chance of a fair trial, with most of the
judges hand in glove with the solicitors. We
are watching perversion of the course of justice
up close.
Staff responsible for this abuse
The Director of the Social Services division
for children is Dean Ashton. He knows
all about this case. We have documentary
evidence that Cornwall County Council is
working to adoption targets - they plan to
snatch children regardless of the rights or
wrongs of the case.
Maurice Emberson is his assistant, and denied
this abuse is happening in reply to both
the front page of the Falmouth Packet newspaper,
and their columnist, the Skipper, who
rightly deplored Cornwall County Council
Social Services actions in this matter.
Alex Dashwood is Phillips’ manager,
(and stated Melanie had “a severe learning
difficulty” which is a lie.) These two seem
more like sadists than social workers, and
in our view should not be allowed to work
with children.
The council buries complaints
Mr and Mrs Garvey have been to the Council
Complaints Department. The Garveys
were warned no one who’s children have
been snatched get past the first level of three
levels, and their complaints are buried. Elisabeth
Taylor and Gill Dunstan are the Council
complaints managers.
The Head of Council Legal Services is
Richard Williams, in it are Karen Jackson,
Ian Kennaway, Deborah Stoleworthy; they
know what’s going on and allow this horror
to continue.
Mr and Mrs Garvey have been to the top -
to the Ombudsman, who won’t be involved
until the case is decided. By the time he consents
to be involved, the children are usually
adopted and its too late.
Fire these abusive staff
We ask Cornwall County Council that Dean
Aston, Maurice Emberson, Alex Dashwood,
Ken Phillips, are fired immediately without
compensation, and barred from all government
or public posts for life. It appears their
actions are closer to embezzlement and child
abuse than social work.
We ask for an investigation into the extent
to which Elisabeth Taylor, Gill Dunstan,
Richard Williams, Karen Jackson, Ian Kennaway,
Deborah Stoleworthy have perpetrated
this miscarriage of justice.
We ask that Cornwall County Council bar
members of Common Purpose, which is behind
this and most council corruption, from
both public office and employment within
the council.
We ask that Foot Anstey be barred from
all council, legal aid and public contracts
until those involved, such as Nicki Cozens,
have been dismissed from the firm, and their
fees for this “work” be withheld.
Criminal charges against social services
We ask the police and Crown Prosecution
Service to investigate all the above on
charges of abusing children and the fraudulent
misuse of public funds. Providing there
are enough honest, non Common Purpose
people left in the police and CPS to carry
out a lawful and proper investigation.
We ask that a permanent restraining order
be put on Social Services, preventing them
from contacting Melanie or her children at
any time, now or in the future.
Sheila Healy and David Whalley
The two people ultimately responsible are
Cornwall County Council’s chief Executive,
Sheila Healy, and David Whalley, the council
leader, both Common Purpose. We ask
for the resignation of both Healy and Whal
leyfor encouraging this horrific abuse and
fraud in scores of similar and worse cases,
to go on unchecked.
And finally we ask Cornwall County
Council that Melanie and her two children
are immediately returned to the loving family
home from which they were stolen.
Luke 17:2 “It were better for them that
a millstone were hanged about their
neck, and be cast into the sea, than
that they should harm one of these
little ones.”

The Book on child snatching
Available from Amazon, Lulu, The Book Depository,
Waterstones and independent distributors
The book exposes a secret UK judicial system that is not recognised by Parliament, and
is not accountable to its Minister The scandal concerns social workers making a huge
number of false allegations of child abuse against innocent and vulnerable parents in
secret, so that their children can be forcibly taken from them and traded, often into an
industry of ‘connections & corrupt cronyism’, in a nether world that gags the press with
threats of imprisonment, and is completely opaque, unscrutinised and unaccountable.
• The police are involved in frustrating prosecutions of the criminal actions of social workers
• The BBC is in breach of its Charter responsibilities, by failing to publicise the scandal.
• The book takes Essex County Council as an example, and shows senior officials have a determined
policy of misleading their elected County Councillors, obstructing elected officials and
protecting those public officials who have abused their office.
