My point is simply that management should not make official statements about the ramifications of their involvement when it is pure speculation that can never be proved or disproved.<br /><br />(And as per Bez's comment)Lindsay Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437693272797130833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-90497437233647186842009-09-13T07:46:29.797+12:002009-09-13T07:46:29.797+12:00Maybe you could start a fund for Somerville to hel...Maybe you could start a fund for Somerville to help his legal defence? <br /><br />Or you could start a petition for CYF to be charged with murder instead of him?<br /><br />*slow clap*Boganettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253374355820020132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-23612780050893060762009-09-12T17:22:20.428+12:002009-09-12T17:22:20.428+12:00"After their children were removed in 2006, t..."After their children were removed in 2006, the couple were asked to seek further family support, and moved to Christchurch, where Jason Somerville had several relatives."<br /><br />Dave, I hadn't thought of that.Lindsay Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437693272797130833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-67750649252222072772009-09-12T15:15:25.442+12:002009-09-12T15:15:25.442+12:00Perhaps had CYFS not taken the kids the family wou...Perhaps had CYFS not taken the kids the family would not have moved to Christchurch.

For all we know if they hadn't taken the kids maybe the other crimes wouldn't have happened - who can possibly say.<br /><br />Much better to keep schtum and let this factoid emerge at the appropriate time.Andreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536593172412406428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-84938875899035312662009-09-12T08:34:02.289+12:002009-09-12T08:34:02.289+12:00Very dangerous precedent.

The only way forward now would be total disclosure and that is simply impossible given (a) the criminal trial going on and (b) the childrens' privacy concerns. Open justice is a problem in the Family Court/CYFS environment generally and comes particularly to the fore in cases with criminal publicity. A government agency should never, despite its involvement, come forward with information or claims before thinking this through and taking legal advice. Not a smart move.Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208575304505689135noreply@blogger.com
