Should Amy Shepherdson Stand Trial?

Preston's Death · Should Amy Shepherdson Stand Trial?

I wondered why, and I still wonder why, Preston Davey was adopted to anyone in the first place.

Jurors then heard from witness Amy Shepherdson, a family-finding social worker with Oldham Local Authority who was Preston's adoption social worker. Once care proceedings were completed she became the allocated social worker for Preston, the court is told.

The other day, I remarked that, whatever Medievals may have thought about same sex attraction not expressed in sodomy, they regarded sodomy as a very odious crime. It was very heavily punished.

I made a remark about "pen on pen and paper on paper doesn't write" ... I could have added "noun to noun or verb to verb does not a sentence make" ... I got a comment on the fact, that I'm probably a benighted breeder (not yet, alas!) who doesn't get that not everyone is trying to make babies. I replied that non-breeders also get old, and people without children and grandchildren tend to be lonely when old.

But, if we note that the normal state is, you have sex in manners that allow for the making of a baby, then you have people who have diverse ways of allowing for non-making of babies, homosexuality being more radical than rubbers, insofar as not using a rubber is less of a relational disturbance than finding a different partner because you realise you want to make babies. But, over and above sex allowing for non-making of babies, apparently sometimes it now allows for undoing of babies.

So, I'm not letting homoliberalism and homosexuality off the hook for the way these guys practised it, leading to a death. But there is another factor here, the boy was not with any one of his parents. Neither Jamie Varley nor John McGowan-Fazakerley had made young Preston.

None of them was his father any more than his mother. Why were these absent from his life?

It is a question no article seems to be dealing with. On a Reddit ...

Preston Davey Case
https://www.reddit.com/r/Adoption/comments/1stwyfl/preston_davey_case/

... I find this remark:

And yet he was using the fact that Preston was (allegedly) drug exposed as some kind of explanation. And she goes along with this conversation.

OK. The mother was not clean. If this is the correct explanation. Not sure if it means hashish fumes in the atmosphere or sth injected, but mother and possibly, not improbably, also father were doing drugs. (Father could simply have been absent).

From here we get an escalation, they are not just temporarily pushed off the care, the child is not temporarily placed with a grandparent until dad or mum or both are clean. No. The child is put with a stranger, who will allow the mother no contact, apart from what social workers agreed on, and the mother is presumably pushed to sign agreement to adopt the baby, and then adoptive parents are found.

Being sober is valued more than IV Commandment:

Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee
[Exodus 20:12]

God values this more than abstaining from murder. The UK values this less than abstaining from drugs.

That is the ultimate reason why Preston Davey died, and the decent journalists I read about the case in, Swedish National Socialists, are not Christian and did not deal with this side of the story.

The same reddit has another comment about how this kind of "authority" deals with people (it's also valid about shrinks, by the way), here:

That is inevitable in a system that, despite the complex realities, views adoption as the optimum outcome for children in care. It is a system that treats potential adoptive parents’ experiences differently to those of birth parents: anecdotally, an adoptive parent who has experienced some form of childhood adversity is likely to be described as resilient and empathic to the needs of the children they may adopt. The same experience in a birth parent’s childhood is likely to be seen as the opposite – a risk factor and an area of vulnerability.

The reddit also notes the death of another adopted child, Leiland Corkill:

We had another case back in 2021, 13 month old Leiland James Corkhill, who was murdered by his adoptive mother.
What about Leiland Corkhill then? He was murdered by heterosexual adoptive parents. Any gender and sexuality is capable of abuse.

However, Elsie Scully-Hicks seems to have been shaken to death by a "Matthew" who had a "husband" ...

Now, all three of these were taken away from their actual parents because there was something which someone considered "wrong" in the actual parents. And part of the task of teaching the English public the difference between right and wrong was confided to a certain Jamie Varley and his colleagues, since he was a teacher in a "public school" (normal sense, like in the US, a school run by public authorities for everyone, not a British "Public School" like in Eton), and so were obviously his colleagues. I think this says what needs to be said about England and Northern Europe. Will Tommy Robinson (if or when free) make an article comparing Amy Shepherdson to a grooming gang? She's worse in more than one way.
