    So they adopted a baby, because the real parent couldn’t care for her, had a stable legal job in Britain, and now the baby lives in foster care, and the parents are in prison and then deported.

    Great Job of the Border Officers! Well done lads.

      They didn’t adopt. They were fostering without permission to leave Nigeria.

      The couple had permission to foster the little girl but not to adopt her or take her out of Nigeria.

      The reason for the foster care is stated in the article:

      But a social worker from the Children and Family Court Advisory Service CAFCASS said she believed Lucy had been neglected, underfed and under stimulated.

        The Reason is that they are imprisoned.

        Also Social Worker has no qualifications for making such statementents

        They should have asked a psychiatrist or a paediatrician to assess this

            The fact that they quote testimony from a social worker and not from a qualified person?

                Since when is it the job of a social worker or part of their studies to perform medical assessments of children?

                  It’s part of their studies depending on discipline. My wife is one and used to work for DCFS doing foster home assessments. You need special training and licensing, part of which covers identifying signs of abuse and neglect.

                  You’re challenging their credentials and literally have no idea what you’re talking about.

                    In the US they let people with no clue of medicine practice as coroner’s. Maybe your wife can detect signs of trauma. In the court I would still like the opinion of a trained MD
