On a tip/link from Coco, I read (and listened to) this horrendous story. Yes, folks, coercion and blatant lying (including, but not limited to, the total ignorance of laws and rights) is still alive and well in today’s societies. I’d like to find these social workers, who have their panties in a twist that their rights were violated by being recorded and ask them why they didn’t have any regard for the mother’s rights. Or the child’s. Or the father’s. I know that two wrongs may not make a right but, FOR PITY’S SAKE, do NOT tout an issue about rights when you’re stomping all over an entire family’s! Oh, I’m so sick.

My name is Jenna. I blog here, 
What’s really heartbreaking to me?
They targeted her while she was PREGNANT. Basically told her “your baby is ours the second you give birth”.
Then to affect outrage over being taped doing this crap? Truly twisted.

Yes. While pregnant. While I should be surprised, I’m not. I really want to take my thought process on this to a deeper level and write something … more … but right now, I just can’t get past the audacity of this so-called government agency. I want to scream.

You forgot stigma and discrimination against the mentally ill along with coercion, lying, and the scramble for adoptable infants. They’d never have dreamed of trying to take away a kid from someone with, say, one arm.
This is a huge part of the reason I live in fear of Child Protective Services. Yes, this story was in the UK, but still. The discrimination against the mentally ill is alive and well. Couple that with the mad baby-lust of the adoption industry, and, well…. anyone wonder I’m a bit paranoid about them showing up on my doorstep?
Sigh.
