Now if that's a dysfunctional family and if she looks traumatized, if she's a problem child, then my name is Gordon "July 2010 global governance" Brown.

The most amazing thing, come to think of it, is that the grandparents are surprised the Child Protection Service "do not care for her", that's care in an emotional sense of the word. Of course they don't! They're bloody bureaucrats, regulation asshats, pencil pushers who pile outrage upon outrage. Emotions don't come into it. Think I'm done now ... Not finished yet.

Child Protection Service have turned Laura, an ambitious high achiever, from a positive youngster into a problem child, say her grandparents in an interview. Wtf happened to parental autonomy? She arrived this morning in Amsterdam airport and was at once interrogated by the police, as a common criminal. They "want to know how she got to St Martin and if she had an accomplice". Chances are she will not be allowed to live with her father anymore. She'll be put into care with total strangers. Makes my blood boil, this ... wtf do they think they are!
