I am writing to share my research findings on systemic issues within private children’s care providers, family courts, and child services, which I believe are facilitating a modern form of systemic exploitation, disproportionately affecting vulnerable families and children.
Over the last few months, I have uncovered troubling patterns that demand urgent attention and accountability. My findings highlight the following key concerns:
- Fraudulent Incorporations and Lack of Accountability
What I Found: Many private children’s care companies receiving substantial taxpayer funding are incorporated fraudulently (highlighted in red in the attached documents). This structure shields them from accountability and liability for potential criminal activities, leaving gaps for financial exploitation and systemic abuse.
• Why This Matters: These fraudulent practices erode public trust, misallocate funds meant for vulnerable children, and mask systemic corruption that prioritizes profit over care.
- Conflict of Interest in Child Services
What I Found: A significant number of social workers and professionals connected to family courts own or have stakes in private care facilities. While not illegal, this creates severe conflicts of interest, as these individuals profit directly from the removal of children into care.
Why This Matters:
The overlap between decision-makers and profit-generating care facilities incentivizes child removals, undermining the integrity of the family court system and violating the rights of families.
- Financial Incentives Driving Forced Adoptions
What I Found:
Family courts and children’s services are operating within a system that disproportionately pushes for forced adoptions and placements into care, driven by financial incentives rather than the best interests of the child.
Why This Matters:
These systemic issues perpetuate a modern form of child slavery, where vulnerable families are targeted and torn apart by bureaucratic systems designed to profit from their suffering.
Call to Action: Transparency, Accountability, and Reform
My research compels us to ask critical questions:
-
Who is profiting from the removal of children into care?
-
How much taxpayer money is being funneled into unaccountable private entities?
-
What safeguards can be implemented to prevent conflicts of interest and systemic exploitation?
Councils need to
• Conduct a full audit of private care providers receiving public funds.
• Establish independent oversight to investigate conflicts of interest within family courts and child services.
• Advocate for legislative reforms to eliminate financial incentives tied to child removals and adoptions.
A Broader Vision: Abolishing Modern Child Slavery
These findings are not isolated; they reflect a global crisis in how vulnerable children and families are exploited through systemic complexity. To address this:
- Think Globally, Act Locally:
Collaborate with international bodies to compare patterns of systemic exploitation across jurisdictions (e.g., U.K., U.S., and Hague Convention systems). - Integrate Technology:
- Use AI and forensic accounting to trace financial flows and expose corruption.
Elevate Transparency:
• Simplify bureaucratic processes to ensure accountability and prevent exploitation.
Conclusion
This is more than a local issue—it is a call to end systemic exploitation at its root. I hope this research will open a critical dialogue about who is profiting from the removal of children into care, the cost of this system on society, and how we can work together to dismantle it.
