A couple who fled to Ireland after social workers threatened to remove their baby at birth have had the newborn snatched after all. Kerry Robertson, 17, who has mild learning difficulties, and Mark McDougall, 25, went on the run after British social services said she was not clever enough to raise a child. But just four days after Ben was born, Irish social workers marched into the maternity ward and forced them to hand him over.

dammed social workers should dragged out into the street by a angry mob and summarily excuted

A lot of people have those myself included.
Unless there something else going this is case of "your kid is state property"

Miss Robertson said: ‘Holding him made me upset all over again. I’ve told the social workers I don’t want him to have bottled milk or a dummy. I feel breastfeeding is so important and at least then he is still having some of me.’
She sounds clever enough to me. Read some of the comments after the article. Sounds like SS are running a baby market.
That is about the most stupid thing that I have seen in many years but it is natural in the UK as they are for criminals and not real people.
So what is the mother’s IQ?
Don’t we have many mothers at or below that, in the US? (Typically unwed, by racial tradition)
Will Ireland want to have a fight with the UK, over this issue?
“who has mild learning difficulties” ... “A lot of people have those myself included”
Does that include stuttering? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist teasing about the double post.)
Your point is dead on - I’m sure we could all be classified as having some kind of learning disability that would make us “not clever enough” to raise our children in some overly enthusiastic social worker’s eyes.
The parents weren’t clever enough to get married apparently.
>> Maybe she isn’t.
In the U.K., she’s a genius.
They tried to get married. Social services prevented them.
Yes but those are metric I.Q. points.
