AGiR:”Thanks for that article Jewelly.. Had I not read it...I would not have believed that such irresponsible acts could be done by a council!”

No worries, but in Oz it isn’t councils doing it, that is the UK system. Here it is more likely to be an ngo moving placements around and most of them are church based so it is very possible a Church denied a Christian nana her grandchildren as a kinship placement and placed them with a transvestite couple.

Now that is truly bizarre but they don’t care as long as the funding keeps rolling in.

That doesn't say much for the grandmother does it. Kids are in foster care because they hate their parents, maybe the grandmother was part of the problem.

I'm thinking about what a wonderful job the "Christian"
grandmother did in raising her own children.

Tailsman, 579,

Given the children were returned to a parent and the grandmother the relevant agencies have decided they are just fine as carers and it must have been some kind of accident that the children have been put through an official removal and placed in care to begin with.

Wonder how the other 30,000 odd children in care are getting on. You’ll never know, just keep paying those taxes. Depending on which service the granny does kinship care through she could well have a supplemented income of up to 800.00 a fortnight for that one child plus normal family assistance entitlement.

The tranny’s have probably already been restocked with little ones. Hopefully ones from out of town this time.

You certainly pick and choose your examples, Boaz. Just as you pick and choose your scripture quotations.

>>That one isn't even about Christian/secular it's about common sense.<<

Why is this one suddenly about "common sense", but the clash of rights with which you opened this thread is "Christian/secular"?

Please explain the difference in the principles involved.

And if you are going to make random character assessments on the individuals involved, please try to be a little consistent there as well - your opinion on their conduct is, after all, based only upon the prejudices that allow you to blindly stereotype people you know nothing about.

AGIR

Runner,

OUG

In your view would a fundamentalist Muslim couple be suitable candidates for foster parenting?

None of you have addressed this issue which was raised by a number of posters in one form or another.
