@Fullycaffeinated @Cousin_Isobel @GrumpyOldNurse @TheWitchBitch I would like someone to fully investigate those problems with the systems. given you are saying it's like that in Canada too. There are vested interests in Social Services, Police, Judiciary in all these different countries keeping change from happening to bring proper efficacy and safety for children to the fore.

it's only ever partly about shortage of budgets and therefore shortage of staff. there's an attitude problem that says it doesn't matter - somewhere in the chain. over and over again.
