Christian foster mother struck off after Muslim girl converts
The Telegraph ^ | 08 Feb 2009 | Matthew Moore

The woman has been banned by her local council for failing to prevent the teenager from getting baptised, even though the girl was 16 and made up her own mind to change religion.

The carer, a churchgoer in her 50s who has fostered more than 80 children, has now been forced to move out of her home.

She has lost the farmhouse she rented to look after vulnerable teenagers, due to the loss of income.

Another girl she was looking after has been taken back into care.

The woman, who has launched a legal challenge to the council's challenge, told the Daily Telegraph: "I just want to get my life back.

"I still hope to resolve this so that I can possibly foster again in the future as I simply enjoy helping young people."

Religious groups and fostering charities condemned the council's decision, which comes amid a nationwide shortage of foster parents.

Last year the Fostering Network launched an urgent appeal for more than 5,000 families to come forward.

The ruling has increased concerns that Christians are becoming victims of discrimination in Britain, following the case of Caroline Petrie, the nurse suspended for offering to pray for a patient.

Rampant political correctness has turned it into lesser Britain.

Hey, the UK doesn't have a 1st Amendment.

Also shows that the EU constitution's guarantee of religious expression (over 200 years behind us, BTW) is an empty promise.

Under Obama, the US won't either.

This is very similar to another case, where a foster mom was disciplined for failing to prevent a 16-year-old girl in her care from converting from Christianity to Islam...Oh wait, that never happened.

Ironically, if it had been the other way, how much you wanna bet that the foster mom would have been disciplined if she tried to prevent a christian girl from converting to Islam?

They are not all insane yet, but it would appear that the majority are brain dead, just like the US.
