Cheryl was put into “care” at The Grange in Wilpshire, Blackburn by her mother who had also been brought up in “care”. Far from receiving care, Cheryl was raped by a person in care and later gang raped. “Care” responded by calling her a slag.
She ran away from “care”, lived on the streets for a year and got pregnant. She then moved into a relationship with a 28 year old when she was 19. He beat her and she had the baby in a telephone box to escape his beating. Listen to her story…
Odysee Horrors of the Grange Wilpshire, Blackburn [7]
Later in life Cheryl told police that she had been abused when in care. Far from investigating this Cheryl was told she was delusional. As she had been (wrongly) judged delusional the social services then took away her children and gave them to her abusive partner.
When the social services finally accepted she had been abused they took away her other children due to the “risk of emotional harm”.
As anyone who has had experience of the Family Court knows, then nothing about the system is fair. They appear to deliberately target vulnerable people for forced adoption, and Social Services are a prime mover in this. Child Protection Meetings involve about 30 professionals but always end up agreeing with the social worker. CAFCASS who are supposed to represent the children in court are part of the problem as well. It’s an industry and alot of money is to be made by some people and some people have alot of power over others. Even the guardian ad litems (usually lawyers) which are meant to act on behalf of the child, do not do so, as they are more interested in future business from the authorities.
Social Services, [the SS], gave Cheryl no help in a violent relationship but then when she disclosed her abuse as a child, they gave him custody.
To show how abuse can be suppressed from becoming public, and how at the very least, poor management is rewarded in the system, Cheryl said that Martin Narey was Governor at Medomsley Detention Centre where horrific child abuse happened. Narey then became CEO of Barnardos a childrens charity implicated in abuse and then Adoption Czar in 2001.
A slight correction Martin Narey was not Governor of Medomsley but worked with Neville Husband [12] - the “Monster of Medomsley”, a massive violent abuser of boys, and Narey became Director General of Prison Service 1998-2003. Narey has admitted that the service dealt inadequately with sexual abuse during his tenure when Husband’s offending became public [13]. Further reading on child abuse at Medomsley see The Monster of Medomsley [10] and Medomsley – John McCabe, Appeal to Police Complaints body – IOPC [11].
Part of the catch 22 situation that parents of children that suffer forced adoption find themselves in, is that they are often gagged and cannot even mention their children, for reasons of safety of the children. The injustice of the family court therefore goes unchallenged and parents have no voice.
Cheryl chose to damage a statue as she logically thought that if she was in court, then it would be in the newspaper and therefore on search engines, and that her children could see that she still cared for them and was trying to get them back. Children are often told lies about the parent that they have been taken away from and the child parent relationship is damaged as they children think their mother never loved them, or gave them away.
For several years Cheryl used alcohol as a prop to cope with the horrific things that happened to her, but overcame that. Cheryl is a veteran campaigner who has been fighting for years to get justice since pre-internet times. She also took part in the People’s Tribunal for victims of abuse who did not trust the official child sexual abuse inquiry.
In this video Cheryl eloquently explains the problems of the parties in the Family Court System and some of her case. It is telling that Cheryl has had four children taken away from her but is still grateful that a baby was not taken from her at birth, as she can see how that is even more traumatising. It does happen regularly to mothers.

Do you know of anyone or any group that you think is truly helping to address the abuses of family court? Public pro se education? Advocacy? You probably saw that Ammon Bundy and Rodriguez who publicly advocated and were able to get Baby Cyrus back to his family were just sentenced in court to pay $26 million to the hospital. They did rally a lot of people to get that baby back though, but the punishment for speaking out is atrocious.
