Linda Lewis`s 12 year old daughter had her appendix removed and not only was this a case of misdiagnosis, and a botched operation, but it put the girl in danger of her life. The girl was still in terrible pain when the mother sought a second opinion in a Florida hospital where her medical problem was diagnosed as Zollinger`s syndrome, an excruciatingly painful condition of the gut. Before any thought about treatment could commence, two social workers from Neath Port Talbot in Wales, assisted by armed US police, removed the child from her hospital bed and conducted her back to the UK on a false passport where she was transported to a mental hospital and told that her pain was `imaginary`. She was later treated for Zollinger`s syndrome. In eighteen years the mother has never been able to regain contact with her daughter and has unearthed and followed a trail of false accusations against herself by Neath Port Talbot social services. "One of the fears about the Linda Lewis Case blowing is that the law will have to change in Parliament and the House of Lords regarding what social workers can do, and how they do it." So says Kevin Edwards who has been supporting Linda Lewis to find justice. A brief mention is made in the programme about the Named Person pilot in Scotland which would install state agents to oversee the care of all children. The implication is that the Linda Lewis case, and others like it, must not be allowed to blow otherwise the Named Person plan will be seen for the state abuse that it is.
"It is 16 years today that Linda's daughter was kidnapped from her sick children's hospital bed in Florida."
"Four days later without any lawful or legal authority she was flown back to the UK on a false passport by Julie Rzezniczek ( pictured right ) and Alison Paysley agents of Neath Port Talbot Social Services."
"On arrival in the UK Linda's daughter was put in a psychiatric hospital where she was told her pain was imaginary."
"Now a victim of severe mental torture and immense cruelty from Julie Rzezniczek and others who ignored her desperate pleas to be reunited with her family."
"A false scenario was created by David Johnston, the former Welsh Assembly Government Inspector of Social Services, in which he claimed a letter he had seen stated that " Linda was going to enter into a suicide pact and kill herself and her daughter."
NO SUCH LETTER EVER EXISTED AND LINDA WAS NEVER QUESTIONED ABOUT THIS !
"A court order was made on this false assumption and Linda's daughter was cruelly taken and has never been returned."
"An injunction that is invalid and unlawful in law was granted in order to stop ANYONE speaking out about the crimes committed by Neath Port Talbot Social Services and the Welsh Assembly Government."
" No injunction can be taken out to cover up for criminal acts ."
"We believe that Linda's daughter is still under the impression that her Mother wanted to kill her."
"For 16 years an innocent mother and family have fought against all obstacles deliberately placed in their paths to clear their names."
