I saw a news item earlier. A couple took their young child to hospital, with a lump on his head. The authorities decided they were at fault an took the child into care. They also took their other kids into care. They were later put up for adoption. The real parents are devestated. This was in 2008, they havn't seen them since. How can this happen.
There was a case a few weeks ago where a 6 week old baby was bleeding in the mouth, the parents were charged with cruelty and the baby taken into care and was adopted before the court case, it turned out to be a medical condition but our law doesn't allow an unadoption. Frightening.

Frightening Lynne, I would have said it was criminal.
Good evening everyone, yet another busy day gone. I will have another day off next week and gradually ease of work. (Mind you I have been doing that for 40 years )
