Roger Singleton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Sir Roger Singleton CBE is chair of the Independent Safeguarding Authority and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.

He was Chief Executive of Barnardos for 21 years and was awarded a knighthood for his services to children in 2005. He has served on public inquiries into child abuse in children’s homes and is involved in the governance and management of various charities. Sir Roger is also Chairman of Perennial Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society (www.perennial.org.uk). Perennial is one of the UK's oldest charities which was created in 1839 helping horticulturists facing times of difficulty. Sir Roger is also an accredited mediator. Roger Singleton was universally seen as a balanced and liberal spokesman for children's rights. Indeed the only significant public criticisms made of him as a professional for the bulk of his career, prior to 2009, were accusations in 2003 that as chief executive of Barnardo's he had supported emotionally manipulative advertising campaigns used to raise the charity's profile.[1] In this case the UK advertising standards authority found decisively in Singleton's and Barnardo's favour.

By coincidence I had met a while ago a colleague, a human rights specialist, who had been responsible for the Romanian children file for a short while in 1999. I had asked her if she knew what the status of the UNCRC was. She thought it had a strong status, but found it wiser to ask this question to the Commission’s Legal Service.

Today she had indeed sent a note to the Commission’s Legal Service explaining why in her view the Convention should be considered acquis (the EUs legal basis) and requesting their opinion. When I had met her, she had also told me she had analysed law 3/1970. The law that according to De Combret was responsible for the high number of children in institutions. She had concluded it was a rather normal child protection law. It was not law 3/1970 that was the reason so many children were in institutions, but much more complex reasons related to poverty, discrimination of the Roma minority and the attitude towards single motherhood. Law 3/1970 regulated family placement of children without parental care, and as a last option placement in an institution. Her opinion at the time had been wilfully ignored and the Commission had preferred to follow the De Combret-line that because of Ceaucescu’s law so many children were in institutions.

Enrico had sent to the Romania Team, for information, the acquis list of DG Justice. And what did I see under Human Rights acquis, the UNCRC. I had forgotten about the note sent to the Legal Service end of last year, and to which no answer had been received. But this was clear: the UNCRC was acquis.

'Baby racket at least 3 decades old'

Priyanka Dasgupta | TNN | Dec 11, 2016, 08.02 AM IST

KOLKATA: Arun Swanand Dohle was adopted as a month-old baby from Kusumbai Motichand Mahila Seva Gram (KMMSG) in Pune by Belgium-based Michael and Gertrud Dohle.Twenty years later, in 1993, Germany-based Dohle came to Pune to trace his roots. It was in 2010 that he reunited with his biological parents. Having worked extensively on child trafficking and adoption issues, Dohle insists that the Kolkata child-trafficking scandal is at least three decades old and was covered extensively by the international media.

Browsing through old records ahead of a BBC feature on the child trafficking racket in Kolkata, Dohle spoke about international media reports that date back to August 22, 1982."Having worked in this sphere for years, I know that adoption from Kolkata was under the scanner of the international media as early as 1982. The international media had reported on the dubious system of `babies for sale' that was allegedly conducted by International Mission of Hope (IMH) in Kolkata. Incidentally, Sree Krishna Nursing Home, which has been involved in the current scandal, used to be one of the suppliers of babies to IMH," he said.

In an article titled "The short tragic life of Nathan, the baby who was bought for £ 2000", The Mail had reported that Nathan was adopted by an American couple, Ron and Robbie Flanders from the small town of Oakfield, New York. They had paid £2000 to an American adoption agency. Nathan had fallen ill within a few days of arrival to America after a long journey. Controversy had erupted over whether Nathan would have died anyway or already underweight and sick, he was `killed' by being forced to undergo such a long and exhausting jour ney in the unnatural environment of a jet aircraft.Fingers were also pointed at an international airlines for shipping "unwanted Indian children 9,000 miles to America".

Update on BCFS: Recall that Baptist Child and Family Services was behind the Federal Government deal for $50M to buy a resort hotel for illegals as The Gateway Pundit reported here and here.

Well, just because the word “Baptist” is in the organization’s title, doesn’t make it a Church. The minimal amount of research brings a person to the BCFS website—home to Health and Human Services (displayed under the BCFS logo in the upper-left corner). Gee, that sounds more like an Obama agency than a Church. Check out the Partners page to find a who’s who list of Federal and State government agencies that are reminiscent of the ACORN complex ties for laundering taxpayer-funded money.

Apparently, many have been digging into the BCFS as well.

A countless number of children go missing every year. The category of missing children include a number of problems including abduction or kidnapping of children by family members and by non-family members, run-away children or those forced to run away by family and surrounding circumstances, children who are in a difficult or aggressive environment, trafficked children, and lost children. Missing Children Because of this wide array of problems it is hard to survey the number of missing children. Often cases are not reported to the police. In 2005 National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) informed that on an average 44000 children are reported missing every year. Of these, as many as 11,000 remain untraced.

Children who go missing may be exploited and abused for various purposes from camel jockeys in the Gulf countries to victims of organ trade and even grotesque cannibalism as reported at Nithari village in Noida. There are also a large number of children who run away from homes after dropping out of school or facing difficulties at home. They usually run away to the glamorous big cities where they fall prey to exploiters and are employed in tea stalls, brothels, beggary, etc. Most of the children come from poorer families who do not have access to police services or whose reports are not taken seriously.

When a child goes missing there no FIR filed as there is no cognizable offence committed. Hence only an entry is made into the General Station Diary at the concerned police office. Information of the missing child is forwards up to the Chief of police as well as locally police officers generate awareness through the media. The police headquarters of each state has a missing person bureau. A database of missing persons is maintained by the Missing Persons Wing at the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in New Delhi.

Some recommendations/suggestions of the NHRC Committee made to state and union governments:

Missing children should become a priority issue with state and union governments and law enforcement agencies.
