The children arrived with a lot of kicking and screaming from the eldest…terrified of the changes going on in his life.
One of our jobs as their carers was to minimise change as much as possible until their future was decided by the courts at the final hearing.
There was much going on in the background that we were not aware of but would find out in the course of time.
Plans were being made by professional people, who should know better and should never take advantage of their position to abuse those who are vulnerable and unable to defend themselves because they are told ‘The law is against you’, when actually what is meant is that they, in their powerful position are against you.
We were slowly and blindly heading toward an adult temper tantrum that neither I nor any of the social workers present at the time, had ever witnessed before.
A temper tantrum of such intensity that one person changed the course of these children’s lives.
It was a truly, truly wicked act of power displayed by one very spiteful egotistical person.
