The solicitors involved and the judge did well, and I don’t often think that.
The social services regularly take the law into their own hands, and remove babies. It is a good thing that this has been highlighted. The mother is obviously vulnerable and needs care, and so does her child. The social services should have been looking after them both, not trying to get a baby away from its mother, probably so that it can be adopted.
This has just highlighted a problem that has been going on for a while.
