supreme_being81Read this, and then explain it to me if you can. A girl had a baby, and a midwife expressed "concern" over her parenting abilities. So Social Services decided this girl was "Not Intelligent Enough" to raise her child herself, so they took the kid off her. WHAT THE FUCK? Just because the woman isn't a fecking genius, she's not allowed to have her child at home with her, never mind that she has a large support network?
After what happened to Baby P, you'd think that Social Services were going to be a bit more careful in what they did and how they did it. They leave children with abussers, with junkies who are truly unable to care for children, or willfully harm them, but because a midwife has a superiority complex, a normal, if not overly intelligent, woman who probably has more common sense than the midwife isn't allowed to keep her kid?
Rant over.
Okay, so it's late, but if you haven't seen this, you have to! Diversity won, rightly so, and still are people are talking about how Susan Boyle lost. Bugger Susan Boyle!
