Comments on: Peddling Grief: Baby S Comes After Baby P http://www.anorak.co.uk/197867/media/peddling-grief-baby-s-comes-after-baby-p.html Tabloid news for broadsheet readers Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:02:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: The Kusabi http://www.anorak.co.uk/197867/media/peddling-grief-baby-s-comes-after-baby-p.html/comment-page-1#comment-402557 The Kusabi Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:13:39 +0000 http://www.anorak.co.uk/?p=197867#comment-402557 'Damned if they do and damned if they don't', I think you meant to say, 'damned if they make efforts to break up families for no valid reason or because they take a personal dislike to the elder family members' and 'damned if they don't consider removing children from the care of a mother who once (along with her then partner) killed a fellow squatter and did 5 years for manslaughter for it', At least, that's what you'd have said if you'd put any thought or did any research on the matter, you confess that you only know some of the details (of what case in particular, might I ask?) and yet you feel qualified to comment that the Mail is being 'very selective' about their reporting... 'Campaigning Mail' and your issue with that is what exactly? That an ordinary family, facing the possibility of being split apart for no just reason by a branch of the state, SHOULD NOT have anyone like, say, a major newspaper, fighting their corner or helping them stand their ground? I take it that's what you'd prefer it to be, just little people vs. the State (a very uneven contest)? ‘Damned if they do and damned if they don’t', I think you meant to say, ‘damned if they make efforts to break up families for no valid reason or because they take a personal dislike to the elder family members’ and ‘damned if they don’t consider removing children from the care of a mother who once (along with her then partner) killed a fellow squatter and did 5 years for manslaughter for it’,

The Mail want the adoptions overturned and the children returned. The couple (with learning disabilities and other issues) have another child who is with them but under supervision and they are expecting another. 'torn away from loving parents'. Says the campaigning Mail which is very selective in its reporting of the case. I only know some of the details but it seems the Social Workers really are 'damned if they do and damned if they don't'. Imagine if more harm had come to any of those three children? Lose. Lose. and yet the Mail is still campaigning to have three children who were removed with a court order and adopted, returned to their parents.
