Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage.
1:00 am
Fiona O'Malley (Independent)
A child might run away if he or she thinks a care order might be applied for on his or her behalf. I think this provision should be retained because it offers flexibility. It is a recognition of modern life that it might not always be appropriate to consult those who represent the child - the parents etc. We need to modernise our attitude to the family.
