I don't share Molly's view that the systems have got better. I failed long ago to crack open a case of substantial child abuse that involved police and care workers. I was able to break up the network and protect a few people (kids). Recently, I've found many of the same old problems and we are still covering up what is really going on. In the end we rely on people trying to do the right thing and this is now much more difficult because the relevant bureaucracies are now even more defensive and practised in these defensive skills. A bloke who sold newspapers for a living was killed by police at the G20. There was a quick autopsy by a pathologist already censured for a past failing that allowed a killer to claim two more victims - this declared the cause of death a heart attack. There is camera footage of a blow and a throw to the ground by a police officer - in front of other officers who appear to have done nothing. In 'Baby P' we learned 60 visits by social workers had failed, but the cops held back their own crap involvement and the government has clearly tried damage limitation in keeping reports secret (they have leaked). We've had cops and social workers believing ludicrous crud about 'satanic abuse', whilst believing known lying, criminal drunks and druggies ahead of doing the right investigation. The agencies lie at the drop of a hat about their performance and make public statements about learning lessons whilst doing their utmost to prevent public scrutiny of their failings. There is a sophisticated version of 'do unto others' in John Rawl's 'veil of objectivity' - but this is ignored and objectivity confused with abilities in bureaucratic bulldung peddling. To stand up against this is to declare oneself mad.
