A British woman said she was followed home by an off-duty police officer who overheard her yelling at her children and later received a warning.

The 34-year-old mother, who asked not to be named, said she threatened to smack her misbehaving children while they were shopping at a Woolston, England, grocery store in August, The Daily Mail reported Monday.

The woman said two officers came to her door six weeks later and informed her an off-duty officer had overheard her during the incident and followed her home. She said a letter from the Southampton council children's services department told her no action was being planned "at this time" but her "chastisement" of the children would be on record for at least 14 years.

"If no one stands up to this oppression, this political correctness, parents will lose responsibility for their kids and the state will take over," the woman said. "The local authority have told me they're keeping my family on record until my kids leave school, and my daughter is only four."

"If she ever falls over and has to be taken to hospital I'm worried about what conclusions they might come to. I feel I'm being kept on record as an abuser, so I will always be looking over my shoulder," she said.

and yet real crime is often ignored

She needs to convert to Islam. That way she could kill her kids.

It takes a village...

Many years ago my mother would put a niece and nephew of mine in a little trailer behind her bike, and they would ride to a neighborhood grocery store. She told them they could choose one treat apiece from the rack at the counter, but my niece grabbed a handful. Momma told my niece to put back all but one, and my niece started having a hissy fit. Momma shook her by the shoulder, put all her candy back, and headed home. It wasn't long before 2 caseworkers showed up. My sister had the kids by that time, and she had to bring them back to be inspected for signs of abuse. They put momma on their stupid list of potential abusers.

My mothers biggest fault was that she was too easy on kids, she tended to spoil them rotten, this broke her heart. It's a good thing I never found out who made the accusation, I'd give them something really serious to report!

takes a village says Hillary but the problem with that is that the village idiot is also involved and it always turns out to be a left wing scruffy smelly slacker

and she had to bring them back to be inspected for signs of abuse.

Unless it was a subpeona or a Warrant signed by a Judge or Magistrate she didn't have to do squat.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

She was so upset she couldn’t think straight.

Bad habit that.

Yea, why yell, when applying the Board of Education to Their Seat of Knowledge, gets you much better results.

I used to pull hair. No damage, but it hurt.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Momma was an old fashioned housewife, never an activist.

[Lurker]

Glad it turned out alright. BTW I really enjoy your photographs you post here. Just wanted to mention that.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

There is no appeal. You cannot confront your accuser. The social workers have almost unlimited power in these cases. I suspect that some of them just enjoy hassling middle class Caucasian Americans.

There are countless cases of actual abuse that never seem to recieve attention, until a kid dies, while the system wastes time bothering people like my mother.

I have seen the left wing approach to kids and my word.

This woman was trying to talk to her 5 or 6 year old child if the kid was an adult.
The kid was give, me give me , I want it now bla bla

The mother instead of saying no you cannot and then tell the brat tried to reason with her

HUH I thought, why is a grown woman talking to a little child if they were a grown up

[Melpomene]

I took up knitting just for the needles. Only needed to swat on two or three occasions before they caught on.

[Dumpster Baby]

I met one of those a long time ago. Nobody was arrested.

This only pushes more people to forgo the whole "children" thing. The society has evolved to the point of its own extinction.

What is really sad is that some busy body saw fit to call social services and didn’t recognize normal behavior.
