Lucy Allan MP and the false reports

In March 2012, an article appeared in the Daily Mail, telling the story of Lucy Allan, a middle-class mother and Tory councillor, who had been threatened by social services with the removal of her son. It happened following a visit to her GP in respect to a bout of depression.
 

The female locum who listened to Mrs Allan referred her to social services to assess whether the family needed support. That assessment resulted in a report by Dr Green who described Mrs Allan as `very self-centred` and judged that she could be a risk to her son  -  yet Dr Green had never set eyes on her.

Ironically, Lucy Allan had sat on the local fostering panel and witnessed children being removed from their parents.

It was heart-rending work, as she recalls. ‘At each fostering meeting we were presented with horrifying cases of abusive parents, almost always depicted as "substance abusers", mentally unstable or "unable to put the needs of their children over their own needs".‘

Often, this portrayal was supported by an expert report from a psychiatrist, psychologist or medical doctor,’ says Lucy. ‘It never occurred to me, or any member of the panel, that the information we were presented with might be a distorted, twisted fiction — or that the reports were anything other than independent.’ 

Now, her view has changed. She suspects that many of the damning reports were written by experts who had never met the families in question, to suit the wishes of social workers under pressure from the Government to increase the number of children adopted.  .

 You would have expected that Lucy Allan - now Conservative MP for Telford - after such an ordeal, would have retained the same antipathy towards false reports.

 

But not according to the latest article about her.

 

"Lucy Allan, Conservative MP for Telford, has been caught out after adding a ‘death threat’ to the end of an email she received from a constituent."

"Adam Waitling, 27, who was writing using the pseudonym ‘Rusty Shackleford’, emailed Mrs Allan regarding the vote to bomb Syria."

"Mrs Allan posted an excerpt of the email to Facebook, but Shackleford claims that she deliberately doctored the post to include the words ‘unless you die’ at the end to make it appear as if he had sent her a death threat."
