🚨 Seeking justice in a challenging legal battle! 💔 It's disheartening to face bias and unfair treatment, especially when it involves the well-being of our children. I've reported a CAFCASS family court adviser for their alleged biased behavior, but instead of addressing the issue, they've escalated it with lies and unfounded accusations. This has led to a distressing situation where my freedom is at stake. 😥🔒

I proved abuse by my ex partner by producing irrefutable evidence. He was found guilty of the abuse in family court & it was acknowledged contact between my child & his father was dangerous. The abuse wasn’t specific to myself, he threatened to kill my child to hurt me, he also shook him before I intervened. Cafcass tried to play down the abuse & patronised me throughout the court process. Even laughing at points when I have questioned their negligent & highly inappropriate behaviour. I was FORCED by the courts to grant access, if I didn’t, I was threatened that my child could be taken from me & given to our abuser! Apparently a few weeks on an online ‘rehabilitation’ course for domestic violence & alcohol related issues is sufficient enough to deem a previously violent man completely fine to have unsupervised access to a young child. The whole process sickened me to my stomach, the stress made me ill & at the time my child was in & out of hospital with unexplained seizures. Cafcass & the courts during this awful time made me lose all faith in our justice system & as a result I quit my job in the police force (I was a serving officer at the time) I just don’t believe in our failing justice system anymore. Especially since the police are sadly also failing victims. Contact took place for around a year. After this period the police & child social care were involved after my child started refusing to go to his fathers. It turns out my child wasn’t comfortable being forced to sleep in bed with their 60 year old step grandfather.. completely naked! and then again with his aunts naked boyfriend! If you are a victim of domestic abuse, and you absolutely know your child is at risk from the other parent… take your child & run! It’s much better than the outcome. Cafcass cannot be trusted to safeguard your children, nor can the courts.

Cafcass sadly tends to overload front line staff then criticise when things are not done . Staff then leave overwhelming other staff . It’s a simple fix but beyond cafcass management to understand as they employ more diversity trainers , managers , etc staff instead .

Merve Balci is evil, deceitful and cowardly. Lies about what I'd said in initial safeguarding call and when confronted on phone pretended to care about my child and lied again in follow up assassment then lied again during confrontation then you guessed Apologised then lied again. Cowardly and worm like really. Beware!

Our Cafcass professional Andreea was Extremely biased and manipulating . Well I would say very non professional. Very biased and one sided. Letting mother know when she will call and ask my son to write something about his wishes, all in my absence,while I was still cohabiting with my ex. She was grilled by my barrister in the trail about her partiality. Funny thing is that her English was bad but her report was with perfect English as if she had a template saved or someone else wrote for her.

Need for reform asap. Dawn charlesworth was the cafcass officer who claims she cares about children and professes not to be a social worker, all whilst my child was watching squid games and stabbing them himself with scissors due to the separation.Absolutely disgusting behaviour by people who believe they’re professional! The cafcass officers believe fairy tales over evidence and fact.

don’t trust them they are to break families and getting paid from our tax also they took advantage of covid and most of their report bases on phone calls and one sided most of them so do not expect anything from them and most of their reports are copy paste unfortunately and they got paid for copy paste not the fact

Cafcass lives up to all the stereotypes that exist about it - apalling. One very broken part of a wider broken UK family law system that is decades behind when it comes to treating both parents equally in the best interests of the child.

They took my child from a safe loving home and moved him with the other parent who was abusing me through the children, they ignored my eldest child had already be taken and come back to me. Over the next 3 years the court order was broken repeatedly, contact interrupted and my child slowly alienated from the whole family, the other parent was using children online to create a false impression of me and making my child report false allegations to the school who joined forces to keep me away from my child. Another S7 was ordered, apparently the emotional trauma of having your own child turned against you is intense behaviour therefore no contact order should be made. CAFCASS are vile humans in my opinion with no morals or backbone whatsoever, I hope they all suffer as we have as a family. EXETER SOUTHWEST ENGLAND

Every CAFCASS worker completely ignored evidence of ongoing medical abuse and neglect of child, listened to the lies of one side and presented that opinion as 'evidence' for the reports. Do not seek any sort of clarification and take the words of a child that has been abused , manipulated and hit by the narc parent as reality. Even when the child spoke out asking for help from the abuse that was ignored. All reports ignored the evidence presented by the local authorities themselves, opinion holds more weight in court than the truth and the best interest of the child. Absolute disgrace, CAFCASS are not fit for purpose, they actively support the bully parent even though that parent repeatedly failed drug tests and had been repeatedly reported to the police due to drug dealing and abusive relationships. Had so many reports and one of them was literally 2 pages with no analysis or welfare checklist. Biased bullies whp are on a power trip

Disgraceful service to protect women and falsely vilify men. Disgraceful. It is clear that the women in charge are protecting women only and abusing their authority to turn men into cash cows. Section 7 report is the most unfair, extremely biased, and blatantly false document that I have ever read. It is an intentional misrepresentation, a refusal to acknowledge fact, and replaces fact with subjective, disparaging, and biased opinions of somebody who clearly wants to attack men and defend women. I completely disagree with most of the report and feel they have neglected to mention any of my concerns or even take me seriously. CAFCASS believe mothers' lies and willingly promote them as truth with zero evidence. Yet I sit here with all the evidence and they show no interest in it. They word their reports to minimise any risk to the mother and pile false allegations onto the father to misrepresent him and destroy his character. This is done to cause resentment from the father so they can then paint the father as this "typically angry male". It's disgraceful. It's classic gaslighting. It's completely dishonest. IT IS an abuse of authority. IT NEEDS TO STOP.

Where do I start, Oxford Cafcas the most unprofessional service ever, and to think they are appointed to provide collected information reports for the family courts system. The advisors name is Ruth "I assume everything" Alexander firstly she reports I was early to her appointment because I was early not caring for my boys education and attendance if she had a brain and asked why I would have explained that my two youngest didn't start there school term till the 5th and today is the 4th and my eldest gets out of school at 2pm on Wednesdays hence why Iam early!!! They have no processes and protocols they interview me the parent first and then the children and in doing so have taken all the information from a 13 year old boy who wants his ps & vr back after I took them away for shop lifting, vaping, smoking weed and touching alcohol as the gospel meaning the order in which the interviews where done where back to front, I had no chance to comment on anything said by my son making her REPORT COMPLETELY BIAS!!!! She assumed slot but knew nothing!!! also she interviewed my children 13, 10, 8 in another room without me in it which not even the police can do as a parent must be present ( a school can't give your children medicine you have to go in and give it to them!!). There is 8 years of social involvement due to my ex boys mum being an alcoholic, drug addict and a convicted drug dealer in reports which I believe she never asked or obtained to read and get info on the family's back ground, instead makes a parents hard work and effort feel like nothing!!!! And as for the court that I paid £400 to, to get an order to keep the mother in some sort of supervised visit plan I am disgusted that a judge can be so dismissive and rude (Hey judge your not better then us, all are equal in the eyes of eqauilty get off you high horse!!) My rent over but Ruth Alexander may I suggest you look for another job!!!!

They are a pernicious organisation that destroys children's homes and relationships with their fathers. They are the lowest scumbag criminals on the planet, and they are biassed in favour of the mother's point of view. I haven't seen my daughter in four years because I divorced my ex, which enraged her and inspired her to exact revenge by using our innocent daughter as a weapon for her own gain (living luxary life using our daughters CMA). I had this scambag named Bernden Thomas, she did not bother to read the entire report of the courts before evaluating me, she is very unprofessional and biased towards what the mother only had to accuse me of, they all have their own agenda to keep the child away from the father, they always see the father as the bad person but cannot see how bad the mother is by making false accusations, they see the father as bank accounts for the mothers. Without any evidence, she told the courts that she believes it is unsafe for the child to have direct contact with the father. However, the mother allowed the child to see/be with the father prior to going to court; surely, if the father was not safe, the perfect mother would not have allowed the child to be alone with the father. Bernanden Thomas made a video call when she was paid to do her job of visiting the parent/child, she asked my daughter if she missed anything? but she didn't bother to ask if she missed her father? while the mother was instructing the child on what to say and what not to say. She asked me what I would say if my daughter asked where I had been all these years without seeing her, to which I replied that I will only speak the truth and would like to know what the mother has been saying about so I can understand, to which she replied that I was basically tearing into the mother and the mother is such a good person. The only thing these scumbags do well is separate and cause friction between the child and father because they believe mothers are perfect and will not hurt a fly, if only they knew how mothers are once they give birth to a child, they gain the upper hand for amminuation.

Should be zero, nothing but liars and corrupt, encouraging parents to commit suicide by their false accusations and lies. We are coming for you, you don't think about the damage to child, my daughter is psychologically damaged and doesn't know who she is anymore, messing with heads, all they care about it 💰 Thers a special place in Hell for them all corrupt to the core, evil and twisted

CAFCASS has declined rapidly in recent years prioritising excesssive numbers of managers instead of frontline staff . Staff leave in droves and Less qualified are recruited instead in desperation . Managers spend their time creating work for frontline staff to justify their own existence .
