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
What makes you think they didn’t?
The fact that they quote testimony from a social worker and not from a qualified person?
This is what social workers do. What makes you think they’re unqualified?
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.
There’s no mystery she was taken from a Nigerian orphanage where she was either legit abandoned or sold to the or orphanage and trafficked to the UK for money by this couple. They solved the case pretty well and laid it out in the article.
What is with all the depressing shit posted on Mildly Interesting lately?! This isn’t mildly interesting, its c/OrphanCrushingMachine
The social worker reported that Lucy had been neglected, underfed, under stimulated and had formed no parental attachment after living 9 months with the couple.
It seems like bullshit that they won’t even assess the couple for fitness to adopt the baby. Sure they forged paperwork, but unless they did something else, I don’t see how that disqualifies them.
Straight from 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.”
And even if they weren’t abusing the baby, forging documents is more than enough reason to prevent someone from immigrating.
Since when are social workers qualified to make a medical assessment of a person?
