gistbite: I am not there all the time especially when they are eating... The rot has set in - that is a fact of life. She eats junk and gives the kids junk. We are in the UK - you cannot force kids to do much... They now have a sweet tooth and are used to junk; it is not easy to change. I cannot change the missus my advice and warnings - she has brought her Nja mentality and food habits; moreover, money now dey to eat any old thing. I am mad about it because it gives a headache when I have to feed them or watch them eat sh1t or come home to one of them whispering that they have had KFC or something like that! She had the children before they came over and did not take my advice and warnings - you can make it what you like! She also got into hot bother with the school - my mistake; leave Nja people alone to their nonsense, I have learnt my lesson. 1 Like |

So I want to pay a deposit for a car from an approved dealer. Is bank transfer OK or I should ask for PayPal? |

Viruses: Pay minimum of £100.01 on your CC, you can choose to pay the balance as you wish. Google section 75 for better insight. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Estroller:Insightful read. There's a caveat.. section 75 does not cover you if you "Used hire purchase to pay for something, such as a car – this has its own protection scheme." |

Odedenshi1: Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. They might ask that your kids have a full medical examination to see if there are signs of abuse on their body (whip marks, bruises, finger nail marks on their upper hand, etc) If you've not already done so, examine your kids and have a plausible explanation for any mark on their bodies, so that you are well prepared. If you've abused your kids and left them with scars or marks or bruises, your own don be be that If no marks or anything concerning is found, you might be able to get away with attending parenting classes/courses and social services might close the case. Odedenshi1: Were you forcing your kids to do their homework? Did you leave them upset and very distressed over completion of their homework? Harming a child doesn't have to be physical- it can be mental or emotional harm. For you to have signed/agreed to the advice/recommendation from the social worker on this issue suggests you must have done something wrong in terms of your parenting style (intentionally or unintentionally) For those suggesting legal advice, lawyers aren't really interested at this stage until the kids are removed from home through a court order. Lawyers fees for such child protection cases start from minimum £200+ VAT PER HOUR. The best lawyers that handle such cases are usually very busy with some not accepting new clients. The threshold for claiming legal aid for such cases is also very high. So it's in your best interest to do what you can to avoid legal intervention. 2 Likes |

Viruses: Kids either live with a family member or they go to foster care and might end up adopted by completed strangers. Court might decide father or mother or both parents poses a danger to the kids and give them limited or no access to them. A court order is needed for the government to take custody of the kids and only a court order can release those kids back to their parents. In this country, nobody jokes with a court order especially where kids are involved. With adoption, the parents have no contact whatsoever with the kids. Infact contact ceases few months to when adoption proceedings are finalised. Once the child clocks 18, they can decide to look for their parents of they choose to, however research shows this rarely happens as these kids are too bitter and angry that the actions or inactions of their parents landed them in foster care/adoption. Parents do not necessarily have to go to jail to have their kids removed. I have seen instances where police didn't invite the parents to the police station because they were sure no crime had taken place yet social service approached the courts and successfully obtained an order to take the kids to foster care. In summary, different scenarios can play out but it's not an experience any parent should ever pray for. 1 Like |

. [/quote] Thanks for your response. Thankfully we do not lay hands on our children and I never allowed anyone touch them while they were still in Nigeria. The only marks they might have on their body may be one from the measles they had as kids aside that nothing else. On the home work aspect, we had registered them for Kumon, my first son was usually reluctant in doing his when I am not at home but when I am around he sits up because I will sit with him to ensure the work is done. We innocently signed that agreement as it was stated not to be legally binding. We didn’t feel it would have any implication, I sincerely do not think our parenting style calls for concern. The only thing I can remember doing when my son misbehaves is to ground him by taking away his tablet and toys or having a word with him, nothing that can harm him physically or mentally. 1 Like |

Allow me to rephrase that ... This is one issue I have with the deceitful, hypocritical, sanctimoniosly, pharaseeism, double standard, double-dealing, self-acclaimed defender of the society, getting children adopted or taking into foster care with pretense, will it gaurantee the child is properly raised? ... ? is, why do we have lots of societal ill vice in predominantly BAME areas.
