Ireland to adopt “the best interest of the child” Dogma
Interesting article from Ireland.
At issue is a referendum that would redefine the role of government in helping children the government determines may be in need of assistance.
While it sounds to some like a praiseworthy goal, the analysts have doubts.
“The threshold of intervention “¦ reveals this new approach: “when the safety or welfare’ of children “is likely to be prejudicially affected’, the state can intervene,” they write, “and take various kinds of measures, from family support to compulsory adoption.”
The current standard allows government to intervene “when the parents fail.”
The Government can intervene when the parents fail. Who intervenes when Government (or familycaught$) fail?

Ah yes, this dogma is practised here in little old NZ. Although we’ve now seen through it and it is now referred to under it’s real name … State Sanctioned Child Abduction. Good Luck Ireland !
Murray, if we look at the findings of the pike river enquiry, problems we see in the family court and IRD are systemic. There is No accountability in govt. We have total inefficiency – as is the norm in govt offices. We give them huge amounts of money and resources and still they cant get it right, Staff changes on a regular basis often transfers down to systems never being upgraded or improved until something DRASTIC happens – like pike river, the best of the best always gravitate to the Private sector, leaving the fleas to run amuck …. I have said before, I have read recommendation reports to govt dating back to 2000, which indicate all the failings and yet here we are 12 fking years later and still these problems persist. We have a govt minister in Dunn who is either totally ignorant of the way his department is running or he is deliberately supporting it, while lying to the public – which is it?
I think its time the realities of the Child Support scam, and the family court destruction of our children was exposed. It is by comparison, the same as what was allowed to occur at pike river…… difference being, Children and parents are being destroyed on a long term basis.
ireland going to start a child support scam are they?
