Coming soon to the U.S., homeschoolers too.

The baby will be taken and given to a “same sex couple” since that is what is in the best interests of the child.

If being bright enough was a requirement, that would take out 90 % of parents. Maybe even me...

Half the country is insane and they pick on this poor couple

[alexander_busek]

I've read one of the hyperlinked articles, which mentions only a "mild learning disability," as well as the accusation that the girl was allegedly unable to grasp the actual meaning of the term "marriage," but it is useless to debate the pros and cons of this case until some clinical evidence (read: I.Q test results) are published.

Unless this girl is truly a moron (I.Q. of less than 90) or worse and/or there are other circumstances involved here (e.g., a history of very irresponsible / criminal behavior), it would indeed be a miscarriage of justice to deprive her of her offspring in this fashion.

I would venture to say that if you are a social worker these days, you are not bright enough to be one.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I know some brilliant women who are terrible mothers, and some less intelligent womwn who are doing a wonderful job.

[NotSoModerate]

Maybe they should just sterilize the entire “dumb” female population in England. That way they could cut back on paying social worker salaries.

In the UK, you can be considered too dumb to be a mom. In the UK you can be considered a pedophile and watch your children play on a playground from behind a fence.

Sharia Law when dads want to kill thier kids for listening to rock and roll? No problem. It’s just their ‘culture’.

They should have spelled it Fief, since they’re acting like the lord and master of those who live in the district.

[toomuchcoffee]

She needs to become a crack whore. The CPS usually lets them have all the kids they can. No problem.

[Adventure gal]

She may be dumb, but it seems like she and her husband outsmarted the officials by fleeing before the baby was born

[GoldenPup]

Tyranny is what happens in a country without a Second Amendment...ooops sorry, without a Constitution.

[wideminded]

When my son was due we attended some birthing classes at the hospital. One of the couples in the class were clearly retarded. You had to worry about the kid’s future, and yet they actually seemed like they were going to be much better parents than a lot of other people.

[sten]

liberals have 50% of their babies, and the government doesn’t qualify them as being too stupid.

[stinkerpot65]

Of course, in Obama’s re-education camps, the scale will be much larger, and the taking of children based on religious beliefs rather than intelligence.

Despair: Kerry Robertson is 29 weeks pregnant by Mark McDougall and the couple have already named the unborn child Ben. She 'out of her mind with worry'

[chris_bdba]

I hope they fled the UK all together. From all of the interviews I’ve read from them they both seem plenty smart enough to raise their own child.Even if she wasn’t can’t her family and boyfriend help her?
