Vicky has sensibly decided to leave the UK to avoid the adoption machine. It remains the case that a majority of the children that leave care aged under 5 do so through adotion.
Hence if her baby had been taken the care she would have faced the likelihood that it would have been adopted.
An evil evil system.
The link is to her story in the Sunday Telegraph.
The system is more evil because the treatment of the babies in care causes a large proportion of them to be so psychologically damaged that a large proportion of the adoptions fail as well.
If anyone wants to check this they need to see Michael Rutters research which demonstrates that it is the period of 6-18 months that is key for psychological development. The vast proportion of babies taken into care are taken into care before 6 months. Hence it is the care system that normally does this not the natural mother.

We never treat animals like this, new born puppies et al are with their mother for at least ten weeks, how absurd is it that the UK feels that its still okay to remove new born babies from their mothers as soon as they are born, we are not in the dark ages any more, the system is something out of the Victorian era where children were forced into mills and mines, read the works of Lord Sailsbury 1830-1903, thrice Prime Minster, campaigned like yourself John for years to end the suffering forced upon children by the state.
"Parliament is a potent engine, and its enactments must always do something, but they very seldom do what the originators of these enactments meant"
So true even by today's standards and like the story of Vicky Haigh, Parliament needs a good head wobble and force the changes so desperately needed, Vicky's ordeal will certainly not be the last until the law makers and letter writers remove their heads from up in the clouds.
