To even think otherwise or seek to put the blame for it on well meaning professionals is hugely out of order imho, and has got my back up.
Think you have misconstrued my comments. I'm not blaming ss for his death, he appears to have died T the hands of his mother which is tragic. But ss are supposed to protect children in danger from this?
At any one time there are tens of thousands of children who are potentially at risk from harm.
The vast majority are kept relatively safe - partly due to the hard work of social workers.
It is not feasible for all children at risk to be kept away from risk - as I said in a previous post we would need thousands of Childrens Homes to be built across the country to achieve this aim.
