Scotland on Sunday - Scotland - Woman sues for lost childhood
"A WOMAN who was taken into care as a child over unfounded sex abuse claims is suing a local authority for compensation for her ‘lost childhood’ in a landmark legal case, Scotland on Sunday can reveal.

The woman, from Ayrshire, was one of hundreds of children wrongly removed from their families in a series of sex abuse investigations across Britain in the late 1980s and early 1990s."

Here in Australia, we have a well-known joke: What's the difference between a rottweiler and a Department of Family Services social worker? Answer: With the rottweiler, sometimes you get your children back.

This poor family in Scotland had a Halloween party, apparently, and it sounds like the wimmin with the spiky hair and long dangly earrings from The Department decided to come in and do their bit. They stole the child away from the parents. Scotland sounds more like Australia than I ever knew. Shame about the drizzly weather, and warm beer.
