I need a Lawyer
I am now feeling more desperate than ever to seek some legal advice. I am having serious problems getting access to the whole of my file. It seems certain files have recently been found very recently and i am awaiting for them to be handed over. My mothere is now being investigated for the abuse and neglet we endured at her hands. I know there is a time limit about making claims but we could't claim before because social workers involed in our case adopted my birth brother and sister and we ran the risk of causing them damage if we persued issues sooner. social workers failed to protect and them social workers are still in there job's today. One social worker who first read my file when i applied for it said it is the worst case of mistakes she has ever read. i feel sucidle that i can take a civil case against them but not backed by legal aid because of a silly dead line. And there is no way i can afford a civil case i just wish i could i can't even afford a initial consultation. There are real genuine resons we couldn't act sooner one of them being we had been told our files had been destroyed anther being the complicated adoptins. The fact remains were sufferd abuse and neglect at the hands of our mother and social services continued to send us back. The child protection team who are invetigating my mum said they have a very strong case to press chrges against my mum and feel the case will make it to court now the new files have been found and if she is found guilty that is proof the social services failed to protect us also. I don't know why i feel so commpelled to continue with this but i lost everything and i know ill never get it back but answeres need answering i feel i just can't rest untill i get justice. It isnt just me there are four children left who sufferd sytamatic abuse and neglect and gross abandonment at our mothers hands. My MP has wrote to me he says he will back my fight to change the law but he needs me to write and tell him of my experiences i want to show him my file but i am just not having much luck at getting it. It is currently sat under a Lawers desk acting on behalf of Bolton Social services i just want what is rightfuly mine. Will some one please consider taking this on i just don't know what else to do |
