It is about time social services were put right. I have four children who have had scabies, one a severe bout.

They have been taken to a so-called place of safety from their mother while inquiries take place.

Is a place of safety a place somewhere the children are kept like animals or people on the street?

One is sleeping on a sofa, one on a mattress on the floor, one in an armchair and one on a mattress on the floor of the carer's bedroom with a common-law husband - all in a one-bedroom flat.

If I am supposed to be treating my children wrongly, why is that? I've got a four-bedroom house.
