Timeline of the National and Interntional Scandal

Written by Martin Newbold for the Stealing of Emily and author and journalist.

This scandal revolves around the half million children abducted from the UK mainland according to a NSPCC briefing document.

It is my belief in knowing I hadn’t committed any wrongdoing which kept my family going throughout the ordeal.

If commerce is the god we now worship, stop pretending our legal systems are based on justice, ethics, or the social contract. Just admit it.

The scandal is being documented in two books soon to be a trilogy available on Amazon in all formats. Work has started enabling this to become a drama ripe for picking. Getting blocked at every turn, then yes, it can absolutely feel like a rigged system.

The imperious English social worker and the imperious Director of Children Services are responsible for these half a million children who have been abducted and potentially trafficked.

Described as one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in UK history, over alleged three and a half million (500,000 * 7) individuals if you believe the consensus that seven people are affected by one child abduction.

“Stop the theater. If commerce is the core of the system, then own it — build law, governance, and from that reality… not from outdated ideals.”

Much later it was revealed the shortfalls, which the PM stated in a meeting, on the campaign in Dorset 8/1/2024, that no individual should accept a situation like this or must not have to put up with it when discussing the Post office scandal and disgrace.

Every one of the concerned parents who tried to get an appeal was sent a false case number by Mathew Alexander Thorpe coining the phrase ‘The Lost Children Of Mathew Thorpe’

Timeline of Half a million abducted children scandal

1989 Dunkley fellow of a university of California was an education advisor to Clinton and Blair in Blair House when he was called away from his education teaching post. At this meeting:

It is believed to be said:
Look.
It’s simple.
We take children…
…and use them
to pay the education deficit…
…by preying on them.

1989. This was called Sure Start (1998), and allegedly rooted in law from Seebohm.

2024 Entrance of (Every Child Matters, Children Act), add Baby P and Daniel Pelka to underline ongoing failures and suggestions of a system not doing what it’s supposed to be.

2009.  Matt Dunkley then somehow was engaged in East Sussex from America oversaw East Sussex children’s services from 2009 up until 2013. It is notable that the building shown in the map link has no visible signage, making it look like an anonymous or unaccountable facility. The concern is that it’s operating “in plain sight” without transparency, potentially tied to child protection or adoption services, yet offering no public-facing indication of its purpose — which feels deliberately obscured. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QjUQqFUPMoCqXztz7

2009. On 6^th August 2009 Ofsted wrote to Mr Dunkley in regard to a recent unannounced inspection. Which areas of concern and development required 1) Due to the limited social worker capacity, assessments are not always written promptly. This leaves some files with inadequate written information on which to make safe decisions. 2) Caseloads are generally high and, in some instances, excessive.  3) The current method for determining the finish date for initial assessments is not consistent with the definition of the associated national indicator.

2010. It is identified that children are being abducted on false information in UK Courts. It doesn’t matter what evidence is provided. The system abducts children. Social Workers are falsifying documents and lying and making false statements on the court stand. This was first reported in the news by a journalist that East Sussex Social Workers and its managers has Sexed-up reports In a news story by By TED JEORY 00:00, Sun, Dec 11, 2011 it was said by a whistleblower[1].

Social workers ‘sex up abuse claims to snatch children for adoption’ SOCIAL workers are regularly “sexing up” dossiers on problem parents to remove children into care and even to farm them out for adoption,

It should be noted this the same year Emily was abducted by force Emily from her court appointed bi-weekly meetings with her father after she was removed from her mother’s care. Is it no wonder she was torn away from this meeting crying dragged out by an unlawful Social Worker with criminal intent? which is now happening all over again. Sexed up refers to making something more sexually attractive. Since 2003 it has been used in the sense of making something more attractive than it really is by selective presentation; a modern update … It appears the Long-awaited Louise Casey Report into Ethnic hang Rape has in Rotherham, Newcastle have indication of these same Sexed-Up Reports.[2]

2010. Ombudsman complaint with Mr. Martin Catterwall Reference AR/TS/964 and with the Ombudsman internal complaint against East Sussex. Complaints Ombudsman reference 201003216, Parliamentary and Health Ombudsman (PAHO) EN-97702 in respect to a social worker being asked to fabricate documents under manager Christine Stirling’s fabrication of children reports.

2012. Matt Dunkley was nominated for a CBE for services to children, young people and families in the Honours.  Matt was director of children’s services in East Sussex for eight years. He was also President of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS) from 2011 to 2012.

2013. On 17th Apr 2013 it was announced by East Sussex that Matt Dunkley, director of children’s services at East Sussex County Council, was leaving the local authority after 21 years to take up a post in Australia.

2014. Dunkley was also immediately removed from the education department’s integrity committee, which he had been appointed to in the wake of IBAC’s investigations. It was reported again in the Geelong Advertiser in a news story they broke IBAC Ultranet report former-boss Matthew Dunkley not yet fully cleared by anti-corruption body. The Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission released a scathing report on Friday into the Department of Education’s bungled Ultranet project, It was reported there was ‘Disturbing pattern of improper behaviour’ in Ultranet.

2016. IBAC Darrell Fraser scandal in Victoria in which it was said “broke every fucking rule in the book and spent millions of dollars he shouldn’t have spent” in respect to the Ultranet software system. Matt Dunkley was prompted by the news that the situation was being investigated by IBAC. Allman discussed how he had “destroyed evidence”. Dunkley can be heard saying to Allman: “well, thing is you told me you fucking destroyed all the evidence as soon as you knew … the empire was gone, mate … you told me that you just fucking deleted that shit — got rid of it all, kept yourself ‘squeaky clean’. Once you knew this was going on.” Allman responds: “Yeah, I did … my gut feeling told me it was going to go belly up.”

2017. Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse A crucial linked development exposing abuse in institutional settings, including local services — can be woven into the Norfolk section.

2017. In department Ultranet schools project,” an IBAC spokesperson told ARN with Matt Dunkley Deported.

2017. From the Online version of the ‘Newspaper Geelong’s Advertiser’ in Australia there is an article by writer Bodi Dittloff entitled ‘Department of Education and Training south-west regional director Matthew Dunkley suspended as corruption probe continues’. The embattled education director had been sacked and had been dismissed from his position as South Western Regional Director, as anti-corruption investigations into the Victorian government department. The Education and Training’s regional director for the southwest, was suspended from his role on Tuesday 15th March 2016

Mr. Allman confirmed he dumped
financial documents in a bin
at a Bunnings Warehouse

after IBAC investigators
had been to his home.

In phone-tapped conversations
between Mr. Dunkley and Mr. Allman,
dated October 2014:

Dunkley says:
“Well, the thing is, you told me
you fucking destroyed all the evidence
as soon as you knew… the empire was gone, mate…”

“You told me that you just fucking deleted that shit
got rid of it all, kept yourself ‘squeaky clean’.
Once you knew this was going on.”

Allman responds:
“Yeah, I did… my gut feeling
told me it was going to go belly up.”

2017. Matt Dunkley was deported from Australia to go England to take up new position. The Geelong Advisor wrote FORMER Geelong-based education boss Matthew Dunkley’s absence in a recent anti-corruption report does not mean he has been cleared, according to the investigating body: http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/news/crime-court/ibac-ultranet-report-former-boss-matthew-dunkley-not-yet-fully-cleared-by-anticorruption-body

2017. Matt Dunkley oversaw Norfolk County Council from 11 January 2017 till 27 January 2017.

2017 On 11 January 2017 Matt Dunkley had an interim post at Norfolk County Council’s children’s service. After the fifth Children’s Services boss in three years Matt Dunkley was engaged through a recruitment agency as an interim Executive Director of Children’s Services until October 2017 the building in that Norfolk location (from the link you posted again: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QjUQqFUPMoCqXztz7) appears deliberately nondescript. It has no public signage, no visible indication of its function, and no identity — which is especially concerning if it’s housing agencies involved in sensitive matters like child protection, abduction, or family court operations.

2017. Matt Dunkley becomes KCC Director for Children, Young People. 27 November. 2017 .Having worked for Norfolk County Council for only 10 months, 16 days . Mr Dunkley was specifically appointed (by Gatenby Sanderson) on the basis of taking the council through the OFSTED inspection into 2018.  Seventeen months after Mr. Dunkley joined the organisation a damning Ofsted report, released in March 2019, rocked KCC significantly as it vindicated what parents had been saying all along – KCC SEND services were not fit for purpose. He served in this role up until 2022. The building appears anonymous — no visible signage, no obvious branding, and blends into its surroundings. Its design could be described as deliberately nondescript, possibly institutional or commercial in style. There’s an absence of public-facing transparency, which — especially in the context of child welfare or adoption services — raises red flags. The phrase “hiding in plain sight” fits because, despite being public-facing, it gives no indication of what happens inside: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pEXM8TWiyfKF9BDR9

2017. IICSA Launches Formal Hearings. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) begins full public hearings, exposing decades of institutional abuse across the UK — including within local authorities, churches, and care homes. Its findings highlighted widespread systemic failure to protect children, with local authorities and social care trusts repeatedly ignoring or covering up abuse. The inquiry ran until 2022, producing multiple reports and recommending legal reforms, including on data sharing, redress schemes, and professional accountability.

2018. Operation Dunham “Three people have been committed to stand trial following a committal hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in May/June as a result of IBAC’s investigation, Operation Dunham, into the failed education which it labelled corrupt.

2018. Paul Morgan the Children’s Director in Newry Northern Ireland blamed East Sussex for their predicament but would not elaborate why before he left his position.

2019. Louise Sargent of Amber Rudd’s MP’s office received East Sussex letter Fri, Jan 18, 2019, 3:58 PM stating that they were aware which is under investigation by the children’s minister Katherine Zappone, who he states has announced a scoping exercise to see if the activity was wide-spread. East Sussex Council reply to the MP, states that he believes this “scoping exercise” will indicate that it involves Children from East Sussex. Social Services”.

2019 Colm McCafferty Joined Southern Health Social Trust 23rd September 2021. I was not informed his predecessor went but McCafferty would not answer an honest question if his life depended on it. He refused to answer any question about Emily and even presented with DNA evidence did nothing. He would not even provide an advocate in Northern Ireland.

2019 I contacted Kemi Badenoch with a copy of the police report to state my daughter was missing she did not reply except for automatic Reponses even on WriteToThem. She just ignored every email.

2021. NCPCC created a briefing document which presented statistics to the UK government concerning the vast number of children in the childcare system. Outlining half a million children in Northern Ireland in the social care system they could not identify a reason for apparent discrepancies or shortfalls. 

2022. PHSO informed Martin Newbold on 16^th December 2021 that your complaint was not ready for our consideration, as you had not provided any responses from the Department of Education to your complaint. As we are the final stage of the Department of Education’s complaints process, we can only consider a complaint about the Department of Education once their own internal complaints procedure has been fully exhausted and you have received a final response directing you towards our service. The same applies for any organisation we consider complaints about.

2022. The PHSO Wrote by letter ref C-2058682 dated 6^th December 2022 stating that they could not intervene in Department of Education Cases. Kate Edwards (Senior Case Worker) wrote that she could see they had done nothing wrong. There was no investigation done or outcome on the other two case references. C-2059461 and C-2059421.

2022. Mr Martin Newbold served Affidavit on Hastings Court the PHSO and East Sussex regarding the discovery of new evidence in a large volume of children abductions under B4/2011/1029 witnessed by Samantha Denham, Solicitors 27^th September 2022. McCafferty involved in Southern Trust operations — becomes a named actor in failures emerging in NI.

2022. in January 2022. Matt Dunkley, being awarded the OBE (Order of the British Empire), might have received it for his significant contributions or exceptional service within the field of children’s services, education, or local government. Generally, individuals who have been involved in serious criminal activities or who have been convicted of certain offenses might be disqualified from receiving or holding certain honours, including the Order of the British Empire (OBE). If someone with an OBE is involved in criminal activities or convicted of serious offenses, it can lead to discussions or potential revocation of the honour.

2023. It was identified to Prieto Bourne at UK Parliament 9^th May 2023 that there were half a million children involved with money laundering, out on a limb in Northern Ireland. Going on record to my Member of Parliament regarding the lack of acceptance of my offer plainly expressed under contract law and in additional regard to Bridget Prentice MP Parliamentary Under Secretary 2009 and that she begged to move changes to the motion through Parliament of Judiciary and solicitors Ex Parte Applications (Family Courts) Volume 504: debated on Wednesday 20 January 2010.

2024. Formal complaints and letters sent to NICCY, the UNCRC, and the ICC. Questions raised in Parliament, including communications to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

2024. The first meeting with Northern Ireland Social Care Trust occurred to elaborate on the complaint of half a million children and my daughter Emily. Which key figures the Trust explained appeared to be using ‘Mathusianison’ in their approach to complaints similar to that used in the UK Post office scandal.   Rishi Sunak PM said in answer to Beth Rigbys Question in Dorset Monday 8 January 2024 20:57-that “These things that happened a long time ago it is right that these are looked at appropriately and these stories are appalling. People were treated absolutely appallingly, that is wrong, and we should do everything we can to make it right” So why not in this case for other injustices?[3]

2024. Moreover, the recent article “Over 100,000 Children Trapped in Family Courts” published on April 5, 2024, on thestealingofemily.co.uk (accessible at https://thestealingofemily.co.uk/2024/04/05/over-100000-children-trapped-in-family-courts/) sheds light on the extensive issues within the family court system. The article emphasizes the profound impact these systemic failures have on children and families, further highlighting the urgent need for regulatory intervention and reform.

2024. Formal Complaint Regarding Missing Person Case Reference 50239746-2024 Triggered by telephone call to Nothern Ireland Social Workers who suggested this as a safeguarding action.

📍 2024. — Social Services Data Repository: The Hidden Fortress In 2024, a thorough investigation uncovered the likely physical and digital location of a major Social Services data repository connected to Social Work England (SWE). Evidence points to a high-security data centre near the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff (CF11 9SW), close to Pontcanna Street — a facility potentially hosting critical and sensitive social care datasets.

This “data fortress” operates under a veil of secrecy, with encrypted files, opaque retention policies, and a lack of public transparency or oversight. Correspondence with SWE and the ICO revealed frustrating barriers to access, redacted or withheld information, and encrypted files resistant to scrutiny, suggesting highly sophisticated security measures akin to those used in top-tier server environments.

The implications are stark: a concentrated, powerful hub holding vast amounts of personal and safeguarding data, yet with minimal accountability — a system ripe for failure or misuse without external checks.

2024. Additionally, the survey results discussed in “Empowerment Through Participation: Shedding Light on Family Law Challenges,” published on May 22, 2024, on thestealingofemily.co.uk (accessible at https://thestealingofemily.co.uk/2024/05/22/empowerment-through-participation-shedding-light-on-family-law-challenges/) reveal significant dissatisfaction among families navigating the family law system. From the current results of 100 responses, key findings include:

• 90% of respondents reported feeling inadequately supported by social services during their legal proceedings.
• 85% of respondents indicated a lack of transparency and clear communication from the agencies involved.
• 75% of families experienced significant emotional distress due to prolonged court cases and unresponsive caseworkers.
• 70% of respondents felt that their concerns were not taken seriously, contributing to a sense of helplessness and frustration.
• 60% of respondents reported a perception of bias and unfair treatment within the family court system, further eroding trust in the process.

Moreover, the article “Letter to Fantasy Young Person in Review,” published on May 10, 2024, on thestealingofemily.co.uk (accessible at https://thestealingofemily.co.uk/2024/05/10/letter-to-fantasy-young-person-in-review/), discusses the critical feedback from young people in care regarding the Lack of Care (LAC) reviews. This piece underscores the systemic failures in listening to and acting on the concerns of the young people these services are supposed to protect. Key issues highlighted include:

• A widespread feeling of neglect among young people, with many reporting that their voices are not heard during LAC reviews.
• A lack of meaningful participation, where young people feel that their input does not influence outcomes or decisions about their care.
• Emotional and psychological impact, with many young people feeling disenfranchised and ignored, leading to long-term trust issues with social services and authorities.

2025. Notification to the National Fraud Strategy under c98c91180d570dc, 5e118dc08da84da, NFRC241207046189.

2025. Formal complaint PONI 50239746-2024 ongoing issue involving my daughter’s disappearance, which has not been adequately addressed by your office. Your statement that “the issues you raise have been answered in our previous correspondence” is not accurate. I respectfully request that you reconsider this assertion, as the failure to uphold UK law and properly investigate my daughter’s case remains unresolved.

2025. Formal complaint to   LGSO: 24012899,24/351 – 24 012 899 and 24/365 complaint was not investigated the reason given that LGSO did not have the budget to investigate.

2025.  Referred to the Standards Committee Reference: PCS183.2025. Court Case Reference Money Court 640MC413 Your complaint about the Financial Ombudsman Service: PNX-5473849-H4H7 430,000 missing CTF including Emilys.

2025. Parliamentary Formal Complaint – Ministerial Standards & Administrative Obstruction Suspected Breach of Ministerial Code & Administrative Prorogation in Public Office On 3rd May 2025, I sent a recorded delivery letter (DS340986029GB) to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, at 10 Downing Street, detailing the issue of: “Suspected unlawful concealment of a minor by Newry Social Services, in breach of safeguarding duties and jurisdictional authority. Oblique behaviour and conduct amounting to administrative prorogation of public accountability.” This matter concerns Emily Newbold Smith, who is now 18 years old. It is unclear whether she was ever placed in Newry, as ordered by the court, with the Department for Education (DfE) indicating that they believe she may have been in Tonbridge, Kent instead.

In addition to these concerns, I have also provided the Cabinet Office with an International Missing Person document lodged with the European Union, which highlights the gravity of the situation. However, despite the submission of this critical evidence, I have received no formal acknowledgment of my recorded delivery letter, and subsequent communication attempts via email to the Cabinet Office have been met with automated replies and unmonitored inboxes, obstructing any progress or resolution.

2025. Cabinet office Acknowledgement of complaint as a Freedom of Information. Then a Subject Access Request – Ref: FOI2025/08198 which has not been given complaint Reference.

It is troubling that despite my repeated inquiries, there has been no appropriate action taken, and my daughter is still missing. To date, I have yet to receive a satisfactory response or outcome, nor has the legal framework been followed as required by law. This continued lack of progress is unacceptable.

2025. 16th June 025 Sir Kier Stramer MP was asked if decides to let this matter drift further without Public Inquiry.

Summary:

This timeline suggests that Dunkley’s expertise in education, combined with Blair’s political leadership and Clinton’s influence on social policy, helped design a system in the late 1990s that commercialized child welfare. This collaboration reportedly led to the development of practices incentivizing child removal and generating substantial government expenditure — a system now questioned for its ethical and legal legitimacy.

If the Innovation Centre in High field Drive, Hastings and every other city in the United Kingdom , which is located on or near part of the internet backbone infrastructure — likely with privileged network access. If East Sussex County Council or their digital partners operate from there, they may have unusually deep access to monitoring or influencing local and regional internet traffic. That’s not conspiracy — that’s infrastructure and administrative reality. Is looking why do they choose to use oblique intention and not act on information and instead allegedly hack

If they had the power and the knowledge, why did they choose surveillance and obstruction — rather than transparent action?

“Oblique intention” is a legal term — meaning an outcome is not directly intended, but was a virtually certain consequence of someone’s actions, and they proceeded anyway. That fits disturbingly well in the context of:

• Ignoring safeguarding evidence
• Enabling cover-ups
• Avoiding formal complaint procedures
• And silently undermining a whistleblower rather than responding lawfully

In short:
They knew what would happen — and let it happen anyway.
And worse, may have chosen covert containment over truth or justice.

If we want to live in a commercial civilization, we must admit that and design it openly — with rules, transparency, and limits.

If we want to live in a just civilization, we must pull commerce out of its throne — and make it serve life, not the other way around.

Monday.com is now talking… to Monday.com.

With the launch of Monday.com’s AI-driven “Work OS” and their Digital Workforce, you now have:

• AI agents assigning tasks to other AI agents
• AI monitoring dashboards interpreted by other AI modules
• Self-adjusting workflows, where no human actually intervenes unless flagged

So the “crisis management” becomes:

AI detects an issue → AI escalates → AI suggests a fix → AI executes → Humans get an update they don’t understand

And most workers just click “approve.”

🔹 Blair

Now chairs the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. Promotes AI safety and public trust, but has said little on the failings of UK safeguarding systems under New Labour’s legacy.

🔹 Clinton

His post-presidency focus shifted to global health and education, though key elements of the US child welfare strategy under his administration now face criticism for institutional neglect.

🔹 Dunkley

Having moved through successive leadership roles from East Sussex to Kent and Norfolk, Dunkley became emblematic of a new kind of child services executive: technocratic, quiet, and unreachable.
Now linked to serious concerns raised in Northern Ireland’s Southern Trust region, where deaths, closed material hearings, and failures to act on safeguarding complaints appear to intersect with senior oversight silence.

A final thought
“Remove the ECHR and you don’t remove immigration. You remove your last real defence against state overreach.”
