More Muckrakers, Please. A Review.
MUCKRAKER journalism serves a vital role as watchdogs on government, beauracracy and run-away polluting corporations like the Koch brothers. The evil Koch spend billions a year financing crooked Republican politicians and fighting a carbon tax. Their industries put enough soot in the air to replace five million cars. If you kid has asthma, now you know why.
We need more muckrakers to expose this kind of crap. For now, the media has it down to 60 Minutes, and much of that is fluff. F.S. Fayth sets an excellent example in her new book, INNOCENT, VULNERABLE AND LEGALLY ABDUCTED. Here's my review:
5-Star Muckraker Journalism: This is a sad tale of a child that goes to school, confesses to bullying his brothers, and gets arrested. This unleashes the most appalling social services people on a timid family, unaware how to aggressively advocate for their children. Tell social services to take a flying leap off the cliffs of Dover. They want to arrest the other two children and take them to foster homes. The story comes from England, the land of Dickens, made famous for child abuse and Pip who begs for more porridge.
Written is a style that milks the story for emotional resonance, the book is clean, well-edited and deserves to be part of a training manual for new social services recruits. It is a calamity of uncaring people that need enemas, pitted against a family out of their depth. The story could be serialized as an expose on 60 Minutes.
For example: “Then the most bizarre episode happened. Feeling the weight of Glenda’s stare from behind her, Jane glanced over, and was taken aback at the actions from the manager of social services. Without uttering a word, Glenda deliberately, and slowly, proceeded to look Jane up and down in the most disgusting way, as if she had stepped out of a sewer.”
So arrest me for assault and battery, but keep these heartless aid workers out of my life. I don’t condone being a victim to inept bureaucracy. Barricade the door and throw meatballs. Tape record the interviews and sue the government. What never gets answered is why the eldest son got bullied in the first place and why no one ever nipped that abuse in the bud. I would have crucified a few kids on the playground long before you’d do that to my child.
Even worse, this is purported to be based on a true story. We have a new nurse Ratchet, in the guise of Glenda the evil witch social worker. According to the author, “these techniques were just one of many local authorities used countrywide.”
I’d move to Scotland and tell William Wallace to get on it -- Glenda needs a lobotomy. Don’t trust the judge. Don’t trust the system. Bureaucrats tell lies. Someone is on crack and they work for social services. Alfred Hitchcock has found a new villain, the devil-possessed family counselor.
It takes $250,000 to raise a child, plus the expense of college. Never let anyone from social services urinate on your investment. Stand up, parents, raise your voices and hurdle your pens. And vote.
If you plan to raise children in England, please read this book. If you’re American, boycott everything British until there’s a full-on investigation. I am disgusted that humans conspire to hurt even a single child, and think they're saving the planet. On'Ya, dead readers.

We like to write and read and muse awhile and smile. My pal Prasad comes to mutter too. Together we turn words into the arc of a rainbow. Insight Lite, you see?
