Why don't you have faith in foster care being safe. Reservations about splitting up families and the trauma of removing a child, but I'm not clear on the safety aspect.

There has been a lot of child abuse within fostering over the years and one might suspect there are still incidents of it going on. There are no easy answers to this but if you suspect a child is at risk of harm do something. Retrospect could be a very bad thing in some cases.

Has there been any more than in the population as a whole? Or less?
Because anyone can have a child, but you need to go through 3-6 assessment and background checks to be a foster parent.
It is also quite common for allegations to arise from within the children's biological family or the children themselves,.who are of course disproportionately damaged - hence being in foster.care.in the first place.

Haha, it was addressed to RC, and you might have missed the full stop.

I don’t know why you need to lock someone up for 20 hours in this scenario.
I’m glad people here are more preoccupied defending the people that made quite a major fuck up than siding with someone who is obviously a victim.
If you have the power to lock people up, you have a responsibility to take that power seriously and face consequences if you fuck up.

Neither do I, but without knowing the details of the case, I'm not going to dismiss safeguarding concerns out of hand because the mother was breastfeeding: safeguarding decisions have to be dispassionate, however hard that may be. Maybe the incarceration was wholly disproportionate, in which case lessons need to be learnt.

Bit of an assumption that they don't offer any work experience to school students, which would require at least some thought to be given to the matter.
The risk is that any system drifts into protecting the people with responsibility for safety from blame or prosecution rather than stopping the harm happening. Something that you see in other safety management. Attitudes like damned if you do...feed into that.
The reason this case has made the news is because it appears to be the result of professional ignorance rather than careful following of protocol. If staff in a hospital are not aware of how the injuries they are supposed to be looking out for present differently on different skin types they cannot do that part of their job effectively (or the healthcare part).

Copper turns up, medical staff make statements regarding bruising on child. I don’t see a copper second guessing a medical professional in this situation. And if they did and it was abuse?

Statements based on ignorance of nearly 1/5 of the population.

Except a medical professional in their role is not usually known as ignorant. Especially concerning medical matters.
yes it highlights training issues on the medical team but process development and refinement continue. Is it perfect, no, kids are still being harmed and killed by their own family. That’s the real tragedy here.

If part of your safeguarding protocol is screening children attending A&R for unexplained bruises but you're staff can't accurately identify a bruise in a fifth of the population that's a bit more than an imperfection or a training issue.

I think you just have to hope this made the news because it's a rare failing.

Bit of a IT glitch in the news.

yep, i saw an alert just after 8 and passed on the fix info to my guys, thought it looked grim then, surprised how widespread use of crowdstrike seems to be
can see people dying/suffering in places where critical systems are affected

if you're affected...
Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.
Boot the host normally.

Sounds trivial, but I think a lot of users can't boot into safe mode as it requires admin rights.

A friend linked to an article on the Register that had that, seems it's a Windows 10 issue and that fix won't work for everyone if i read it right. Not being particularly computer literate I may have misread it of course.

yes, in corporate environments it's likely to be trickier, ours are encrypted, users need to get a key to gain access, the support people will be having a fun time of it
then there're all the things with embedded windows systems, they may well need a tech to turn up to recover them, probably going to be a lot of shops unable to trade
glad i've got both mac and windows laptops, less likely to get both wiped out by this soft of thing

Apparently, some companies have the encryption keys stored on computers they can no longer access. Although that doesn't make sense to me, because the encryption for that machine has to be stored somewhere else.

Why tf is BBC Radio news airing some BS commentary from the racist gobshite 30p Lee? The Gammonati don't listen to 6Music, they're all entranced by GBeebiesNews and the like. There's 'balance' and there's also 'stupidity'. Shakes head, moves on.

I imagine the rioters would say the CAB customers were mostly "illegals", so in their view, indeed, it was job well done.

I would have thought a high proportion of the rioters and their relatives would be their customers. “ Fuck me they’ve stopped me disability allowance as they caught me digging ditches and I’ve got a bad back and all that” “ you’ve got to help me as I only did for 2 minutes honest.”

So I’m on holiday and my twitter is a mixture of Remco being Remco and white youths surrounding various brown people and kicking the shit out of them.
I see the far right trick has worked.

Worked is a strong word. It's the same people who always have an unstoppable need to pick a fight and smash stuff up when it gets a bit warm.
The 'protest' march in Belfast has taken an interesting turn. They've managed to get lost 🤣
