This is one instance where 'terrifying' actually fits, but the real question is what can a regular citizen actually do about all this?

  Investigate further because the Telegraph is probably only giving you half the story.

    Unless you have specific evidence, accusations like this are just noise. The Telegraph is a respected paper, and its leanings are Conservative (ie, supportive of the current government).

      s/Telegraph/media in general/, then. It's quite possible to be factual whilst being misleading, and that's not an "accusation", it's the general way of the world. I firmly believe large media organizations can not be trusted to remain anything resembling objective.

      These cases concern the most personal of data and while allegations and evidence may be pertinent to (for example) allowing a child to continue to live with a parent they may not be sufficient to obtain a conviction or even warrant a prosecution. In this situation the court has to determine if justice is served by enabling a man or woman to continue as a parent of whether the safety of the child is an overriding consideration. In the second case the production of specific evidence in the public domain is libellous, and yet the child may be removed from the parent. Subsequently the defiance of the courts orders can be contempt, and yet the original orders appear unjust to those who have no knowledge of the case. The problem is that the above may not be true, it could be simply that this is a front to enable the detention of people who are found to be inconvenient.

      Did you read the article? There was't much content and the title is pure clickbait.

      The Telegraph was a respected paper. Now it's just an upmarket version of the Daily Mail and less amusing.
