Lying Bastard Masquerading As a Doctor

He was paid to lie, so he lied. The doctor who broke up families: Psychiatrist who damned hundreds as 'unfit parents' faces GMC probe | Daily Mail Online

He was paid hundreds of thousands of pounds by social services for the reports which tore children from their parents – many of them young mothers.

He is now being investigated over shocking suggestions he distorted the assessments to fit the view of social services.

In one case, he is alleged to have wrongly diagnosed a ‘caring’ new mother – named only as Miss A – with bipolar disorder because her local authority wanted the baby adopted.

Earlier this week, a study for the Family Justice Council revealed how life-changing decisions about the care of children are routinely being made on the basis of flawed evidence. A fifth of ‘experts’ who advise the family courts are unqualified.

And this guy wasn't "unqualified." He is a psychiatrist. He is also a lying bastard. One mother who had her son removed described him as evil. I can go along with that.

Of course they are talking about an investigation of this doctor. There is no talk, as far as I can tell, of investigating the bureaucrats who participated in this travesty.

The moral of the story is that you shouldn't put too much trust in experts, and you really shouldn't give too much power to government.
