"The orthodox theory and practice in these bureaucracies is that the best way to keep vulnerable children safe is to construct a vast social service system to assist dysfunctional parents keep and regain custody of children. The social workers, psychologists and drug counsellors who deliver these services, whether they work for the government or for publicly-funded 'charitable' organisations, have little interest in traditional child protection work but have a vested interest in keeping children with their parents to justify the provision of support services at taxpayers' expense."
The above is a quote from Jeremy Sammut, who is a "research fellow" at the Centre for Independent Studies. Unfortunately the centre is funded by big corporations, who ultimately decide on the outcomes they will be seeking, making the reports and studies moot and completely biased.
Jeremy Sammut, whilst having degrees in social work, obtains the majority of his data direct from child protection authorities - which is often more compromised than a priest in a church choir. His well referenced information has not taken into account any compliance regulations of statutory child protection agencies, because if it did he would be coming out with some more realistic answers than what he currently reports.
Jeremy Sammut's research is used to tear families apart, which goes against tonnes of other documented research that proves that children are better off in dysfunctional homes - even slightly abuse - and do much better than a child who has been put into foster care.
Evidence is easily manipulated - even child protection NSW continue to state that "substantiated abuse" can be nothing more than risk of future emotional harm. Then these apparent abuse substantiations are used to show how pressure the department is under - whilst at the same time Jeremy Sammut continues to purport that they work to keep children with their parents - which is outright rubbish.
NSW Legal Aid have put submission into government where they claim that "often the first time a family become aware of an issue child protection workers have with them, is when they turn up to remove the children".
Whilst Jeremy Sammut continues to push for forced adoptions and removal of newborn babies, the suffering of families will continue. If he really has no agenda and is prepared to report truthfully on what is truly happening within statutory child protection, he will take the time to obtain data correctly and verify all data that he has obtained prior to pushing his "opinions" onto the public and government.
We urge Jeremy Sammut to contact us at his earliest convenience, to be educated on correct auditing of statutory child protection, so he can provide the best possible evidence with respect to child protection and it's intervention into families that he and the department purport to be disfunctional - as this is most definitely in the best interest of the child.
