Subject: Guardian’s position statement

Dear Mr and Mrs Ferreira

Please find attached the Guardian’s position statement as directed in advance of the hearing listed on 28th February 2014.

The Guardian is becoming increasingly concerned by the tone of the current correspondence, and also by the fact that Mr Ferreira is now posting each and every item sent and received via email to his public blog. It is, in the Guardian’s view, not at all child focused, and does not assist the boys.

However, it now appears that all the evidence needed for that hearing has now been filed, save for the updated index and preliminary documents which will be circulated in due course. I cannot see that there are any further issues that need to be addressed in email correspondence between now and the next hearing, and therefore I do not propose to enter in to any further email correspondence save to serve the documents mentioned above and in case of an emergency.

Whilst it is a matter for you both whether or not you chose to send email correspondence in this time, I would urge you not to do so unless there is an emergency. The situation appears to be increasingly acrimonious, and the ongoing correspondence is doing little to assist.

If Mr Ferreira could confirm whether or not he proposes to attend the hearing on 28th February, in light of the fact that no contact will now be taking place on 27th February, that would assist.

I would also point out that if Mr Ferreira wishes to pursue his application to attend by video link as requested in his C2 application, then he will need to take this up with the Court. I would make it clear that if this is what Mr Ferreira is seeking, it is his responsibility to organise this with the Court staff.

Kind regards

Good afternoon little men!

I hope you both are having a very fun day at school! And that you both are doing very well…..

Been running around a little today to get a couple of things sorted, I have also been able to catch up on my email…..

Can’t believe how humid it is here today…not fun that I can promise you both…..

Oupa has sorted his little bike as he is going on a day ride tomorrow, I think he is excited as he has not used the small bike in ages , looks like he will put it in the bakkie and then use it when he gets to the biker meeting place….

Ouma and I have to get to the mall and post office also to sort some of the new ongoing issues but I guess tomorrow is another day also…..

O before I forget your blog had it’s best day yet yesterday , over 240 hits in about 4 hours last night , I guess the truth is getting out a little bit more each day ! Boy o boy and some people don’t like dealing with the truth , I guess nothing changes…..

I think I can now safely say I will not be allowed to see you both on 27 Feb as your care giver has not done one thing as per the Court order in this regard since 5 Dec 2013 , and shock horror , your solicitor and Cafcass are backing this behaviour once again ! But hey maybe you both will be able to come see me weekends in jail soon , as I told you both at least jails visiting hours and frequency of visits is more than what we 3 are being offered by your care giver and Cafcass. I am really sorry about this champs but this is all part of the game your care giver and her spokesperson have been playing with your lives since April last year …..just remember parental alienation is child abuse no matter what they will try and tell you one day !…….

I think tomorrow is going to be a relax day for me , I am struggling a bit , but on wards and upwards as they say……

I hope you both will have a good one tomorrow again at school….sure you must be looking forward to the weekend….hope you have lots of fun plans up your sleeves……

I will see you both a little later under our big old green tree in dream land …..can’t wait to give you both a dream cuddle….

Night , night little men , fun happy dreams please….

Love you both truck loads full and miss you more….

Love you little men…

Dad xx

Subject: RE: Core Assets

Dear Mrs Xxxxxxxxx

Thank you for your email.

Firstly in respect of our telephone conversation last week, I did speak to the Guardian about your concerns, and he contacted you to make an appointment to visit the children on 9th February 2014. I therefore cannot accept that I simply failed to respond to your concerns.

Secondly, I feel that you have perhaps misunderstood my earlier email to your father. I am certainly not suggesting that you should not have raised your concerns with Core Assets. I think that would have been completely appropriate for you to have done so. My concern (and the Guardian’s concern) was the manner in which this was dealt with, as I had previously confirmed that during the referral process you would be able to discuss your concerns about safety with Core Assets, and certainly before any contact between the children and their Father would have taken place. I felt that it was unhelpful that the proper process had been circumvented, and that if you had concerns, it should have been you who raised them with Core Assets.

In any event it appears from Mr Ferreira’s emails received this morning that I had misunderstood his position, and that he had never planned on accepting the terms of Core Assets in any event, so whether or not they will now accept the referral seems to be a moot point.

The Guardian has been concerned by Mr Ferreira’s conduct, in particular the re-posting of information about these proceedings on his public blog. His position in this respect will be confirmed in his position statement due to be circulated tomorrow, and we are considering the most appropriate way to deal with this issue.

I trust this clarifies the position for you.

In the meanwhile, I confirm that I have received your application to enforce the undertaking from the Court, and note that this has been issued alongside the existing proceedings on 28th February 2014.

Kind regards

Dear Mr Ferreria

Thank you for confirming your position and that you no longer wish to
accept the contact that I had been attempting to arrange in accordance
with the Court order.

As you will have gathered from my emails yesterday, Core Assets have not
yet decided whether or not they will accept your family’s referral in
any event, so I will notify them that you no longer wish to proceed with
them so that they can cease that risk assessment.

Kind regards

Subject: Core Assets 28 Feb 2014

Dear Becky,

Am I missing something here ? I did not agree to the proposal from the
care giver nor Core Assets , I made it very clear to you all that I will
not see our boys whiles being locked in a room,

You also forget you suggested Core Assets and they offer outings, which
I said was what I wanted to do , you said the care giver and I need to
sort this out ourselves,

I hope you and Peter are starting to see these peoples true
personalities and the abuse I have had to suffer the past 5 years from
this family and the Child abuse you , Peter and the Court agrees to
expose our boys to for the rest of their lives!

I did email Core Assets to ask why they want to charge for reports and 2
supervisors as you all have been happy for me to see our boys in a
unsecured Church filthy run down Community hall.

You also forget Mr Steve Mcclure had an inappropriate discussion even
with the ladies at the last contact centre and I must just sit back and
let him and his daughter bad mouth me at will !

How do I expose our boys to risk at a venue I have and will not agree to
?

Your yourself agreed the cost is very high, your email is posted on my
blog.

Kind a Regards,

Phill Ferreira
