This is the moment social services took a baby away from its parents when it was just six hours old.
The infant at the centre of the Munby judgment, known only as J, was removed from its parents after his birth in April.
The father secretly filmed the seizure on a webcam attached to the family computer.
It has long been available on the internet but an edited version can only now be published and viewed legitimately.
The views of the father and mother of the four children taken into care by Staffordshire social workers can also now be published following yesterday's landmark judgment by President of the Family Division Sir James Munby.
In June the baby's father was given a suspended six-week prison sentence by a family court judge for his refusal to co-operate in getting the video removed from internet sites.
The parents said social workers removed their baby because they decided their mother was incapable of bringing them up because of her learning disability.
The video shows the father holding the newborn infant at their home when social workers and police come to take it away.
In the video, the mother is clearly distraught and holds onto her baby and rocks it as her husband remonstrates with officers and council staff.

And if I made a sneering comment about America’s greatness, I’d be a Eurotrash/pompous Limey anti-American.
So true.

// ‘My wife has a learning disability and for a period I was depressed, although that was quickly over after the GP helped. But the social worker tried to section me. The court was told that there was a risk the children would come to harm in the future.
‘They were never harmed. They were taken away as a preventative or precautionary measure.’ // (snip from midway through the article)
Key concept: “...and for a period I was depressed, although that was quickly over after the GP helped.”
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when what should be personal medical matters are entangled in government oversight.
THIS IS WHAT obamacare will bring here. And it won’t be just children they try to take.
100% right
