    And if the child is harmed by the suspected abductors in the presence of the Gardaí you would be giving out that the Gardaí didn't do enough.

    Then at least the Police will be able to minimise the harm should such a situation arise.
    You're not fooling me and anyone else with that crap.

    I'm not trying to fool anyone.
    You come off it! The Gardaí had a reasonable suspicion that the child might have been abducted. Blonde kid with gypsy parents. They had to assume the worst. So cut the sh*t.

    All they had to do was investigate it thoroughly rather than make assumptions.
    Bullsh*t.

    This whole thing is manufactured and is being driven by a political agenda.

    The Pavee Point organisation is a front for the extreme left and subversive republicans and organized crime.

    There are left wing activists funded by shadowy people behind the scenes with deep pockets who have an anti-state and anti-Garda agenda.

    I bet there are a lots of lawyers and cranks and left wing activists who are seeing euro signs.

    *sigh*

    If the HSE and the Gardai truly believe that they had grounds for taking the little boy in Athlone, why did they leave the little girl with the suspected kidnappers / traffickers? Did they DNA test her, or is it not important since she is darker skinned?

    And if they could not find the child's birth record, why did they no think to ask the mother her maiden name - she may have forgotten she was registered under it, was probably under a lot of stress in the circumstances, whereas the Gardai are supposed to be professional investigators, it is a very obvious thing to check out.

    There will be a lot of questions to answer.

    Ah, the old "you must be mental" riposte. You've got form for that, haven't you?

    I'm asking you if you'd inform on your neighbours if their kids didn't look like the parents? And do you approve of the state kidnapping of children and distress it causes them and their families?

    Do you?

    In fairness you are using the word kidnapped in the same way as it is used in the Jean Mc Conville case.
    This child was taken into care until they checked out the suspicions. She was never in danger unlike Jean and was returned to her parents when it was proved she was their child.
    We have to wait until the inquiry is finished before we can judge anyone for taking the action they did.
    If we go by your logic Gerry Adams would have been in prison years ago as he was tried and convicted on forums like this. Not the way to go.

    I'm going to ask this question tayto, again, and I hope you will be kind enough to answer it - as nobody else has. Would you feel the same way if you're child was forceably removed from you?

    The bolded bit could be argued, what if while in care she had gone missing...

    Well I read the child didn't eat for the 3 days she was in care because of emotional trauma.

    How do you know it wasn't an Irish passport?

    Bit odd that you acknowledge that checks take time, but deem two hours long enough to assess that a child should be taken from its parents.

    i dont know what passport it was , but seeing the are roma from eastern Europe i would imagine its probably not irish , how can they check the passport details on site , you are missing the BIG BIG point here , until they can check , they had to act , simple simple simple

    even shatter said the same , so did the head of Bernardos , so did the head of the refugee council ect ect

    newstalk have the pod cast up on their site if you fancy a listen.

    better to be wrong a 100 times than letting one slip by

    I have said all along that I wouldn't like it and hope it never happens BUT I will wait for the reasons before I condemn. I don';t know what happened or what their thought processes were and there are obviously reasons why they took such seemingly extreme actions but again I cannot judge on the information at hand.
    My sympathies are with the Roma family in this but I would not like to be put in the spot the authorities were put into and won't judge until I hear the full story.

    If guilty of wrong-doing then heads should roll but the comments of many who seem to know the law on this type of thing is that all was above board. I just don't know yet. Time will tell.

    Would you not accept that the child has been damaged by her experiance and as such was endangered by the authorities.

    This was not a child centered operation.

    You are right about one thing. The Guards took drastic action.

    "but I equally can't see what else could have been done"

    Really?

    The guards couldnt have run a DNA check before taking a child away from its parents?

    The HSE couldnt have invited the parents to accompany the child?

    The precedent here is absolutely appalling......the Guards can just show up and swipe your child because it doesnt look like you.

    The guards had no choice? give me a break.


    laughable comment
    so if it did turn out the child was kidnapped , you are suggesting they should have brought the kidnapper along , so they could interfere with the witness ??

    that is why the child was separated from the rest of the family - until it was confirmed they were the actual family.

    BASIC policing world wide

    the noise of populace drum banging on this thread is deafening

    So your saying that every foreign child in the country with a non-irish passport should be taken from their parents until a DNA test is done?

    The child was born in Ireland - so very high chance it is an Irish Passport - probably 95% likely

    By your logic then it would be right to jail 100(99 innocent) people, to make sure you catch the right murder..... :rolleyes:

    That too is horrible and i feel for the poor wee thing (i have grandkids that age) but it still does not prove that the law was broken or that incorrect decisions were made. I would hope that in future there would be a better way introduced to deal with this kind of thing.

    so it's basic policing to leave a potentially abductor with other children in their house and not take them away, strange the way your theories have a lot of holes in them

    i never said or insinuated that at all - have no idea where you are getting that from at all

    i am talking about THIS situation - stop being so flippant,

    and again you are using a stupid comparison - and as i said in my post , the minister for justice , the head of a children's charity and the head of the refugee council said the VERY same thing , but we are all wrong and you are correct

    by the by , nice use of rollyeyes - really slick

    i would question 99 people to catch a murderer , that is the difference
    as the garda did , they question the family , removed the child until the story could be confirmed - basic stuff

    I would say she will take a long time to get over this unfortunately.
    I really don't know what kind of place she was put into or if it was a family home but I read somewhere that she was at school. Hope they all get over this soon.

    the rest of the kids were not suspected as been kidnapped , they could account for them , the child that could not be was removed
    and all this you know - but still bang on about it

    I wonder how many more times people are going to chose to ignore this very valid point. Idiots singing the praises of Gardai for protecting children despite them wilfully leaving other kids with the people they suspected to have committed a kidnapping.

    Exactly right.

    the police made a huge mess of this and exposed themselves as being unprofessional, uninformed, unwilling to check out what the parents had said, (ie) Irish hospital where child was born, school child attended, they showed a birth cert (could have been false) why then didn't the guards ring the office that issued the birth cert to check it out.

    instead they went straight for the nuclear option of taking the child from it's parents and siblings, leaving the siblings who may also have been abducted, leave the parents themselves behind, who may have been the abductors, and making an enormous error of judgement.

    this makes the police look totally incompetent. heads will have to roll over this. It's disgraceful.

    no such thing as a roma passport , they are not a nation
    i said they probably had a out of state passport , one that the garda can not check quickly - what is incorrect about that statement ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭el pasco


    Lack of documentation does not trigger a reasonable suspicion of immediate danger to the child's welfare.

    If the two document has two different names for the same child and the passport photo is of a baby and not a child which are both illegal offensives

    If you cannot prove that a child is you're and you have that child living with you then that does raise suspicion

    Why do people not get this. If the parents are kidnappers, they arent to be trusted with any kids, yes - even brown ones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,390 ✭✭✭clairefontaine


    The police committed child abdication and assault of minors.

    There was no reason for them to do this without checking documents and getting a court order.

    However, the people of Ireland voted in the children's rights act, which gave these permissions to the state.

    This should be ashamed of themselves.

    i am not arguing that , and never have, find my post where i did say or insinuate that
    i am arguing that the documents did not match at the time , so they had no option but remove the child until it all checked out.
    as i have said many times - its basic police procedure.

    The children's rights act hasn't been signed into law yet, we can only eagerly wait to see what fun developments arise when the State gets that power in it's very responsible hands...

    The Athlone couple produced the childs passport and birth cert and were not believed. Not that they should have had to in the first place.
