My first problem came from the fact they didn't call for an inquiry. Then, it seems that they changed that and, therefore, it became more legitimate.
Personally, being more of an anarchist, I would love to see the authorities being less involved into these things. The downside to this is that many people are not truly responsible as well.
Nevertheless, as the parent representative for our local daycare, I spent 1 full month last year to counter such authorities trying to close that day care on the base of false charges (charges brought by anonymous letter) and that is tiring.
The results being the following:
- the day care remains open and is entirely cleared of all charges.
- tensions among its personnel brought danger to the kids.
- the french law currently forbid any authorities to give credits to such anonymous letter (the main problem is that most state authorities consider themselve above the law).
- the authorities don't get involved anymore even when we, this time, could need them.
- the attack was mostly motivated by the fact that the head authority simply didn't like our type of day care.
- they issued a report fully based on the letter and stopped conducting further inquiries (something which would have been more legitimate)
- the negative report and its release was motivated by internal tensions among the authorities and should not have ended in our hands in the first place.
- I discovered on that occasion that previous investigations by the authority were conducted with little if any wisdom and put the kids in danger, with no consideration for basic security.
- the authority finally recognized that they were given advice on things they were not competent with. Saddly, they are allowed to give them.
HQ I understand your point but I prefer to remain a responsible anarchist and, unless proven to be myself incompetent, the legal competence of my country stops at my doorstep.
