Do you not think that over the past 20 months social services has not tried all of that?
Taking the child is not the first resort it is definitely the last resort
and the social workers have a complete case file documenting 20 months of their efforts at intervention and her neglect, because they always expect parents to hire a money grubbing lawyer and take them to court
Unfortunately due to confidentiality they generally cannot tell their side of the story to the press like mama’s lawyer
“and the social workers have a complete case file documenting 20 months of their efforts at intervention and her neglect, because they always expect parents to hire a money grubbing lawyer and take them to court”
Such a shame that parents should be allowed to have legal representation. The horror!
social workers here in Florida have lost hundreds of kids, some of who end up dead. Guess that documentation wasn’t quite so complete.

I don’t have any idea what Social Services tried/didn’t try or offered in way of help. I don’t have a great deal of trust in Social Services. I have seen where they have sent home a toddler from the hospital with cigarette burns all over her little body. Sent home to the same idiot who was burning her in the first place. With so much emphasis right now on a certain weight, there is the possibility that an over-reaction has occurred. To separate a boy from his parents and shove him into a foster home (where people are paid for each child they take) is not helping the child IMHO. He’s eight years old and now living with strangers whose primary goal is to make him thin. No goal of psychological support, love, compassion. This will all pan out in court and the family has a PUBLIC DEFENDER. Public defenders are not known as money grubbing lawyers.
