Twins Taken Into Care After Mother Jokes They Have Ruined Her Body

A mother was left angry after her twin babies were taken into care by social workers.

The 36-year-old woman had joked that her body had been ruined after having a caesarean delivery.

She and her husband had spent over £38,000 on IVF treatment, and became pregnant after five rounds of treatment. The twins, a boy and girl, were delivered in December six weeks early. The couple, from Essex, are named as Mr and Mrs N to protect the identity of their family.

Social workers took the babies into care within weeks after hospital staff commented that the couple were struggling to look after them.

Nurses told social workers that the mother seemed to have resentments towards the children, and had joked about the effects of the birth on her body.

When the children were taken into care, the mother lost her temper, and officials have commented that she has ‘anger problems’ which could put her twins in danger.

After a secret Family Court hearing last week - warned the first time parents that their six-month-old boy and girl could be put up for adoption. The couple are currently only allowed ten hours of supervised contact with their son and daughter per week. Mrs N has been told she will not be able to have any further children due to medical reasons.

There has been concern that social workers are now becoming over strict after the death of Baby Peter in North London.

Mrs N said: ‘Social services should step in where there’s violence or abuse but we would never hurt our children.’

If these babies were taken from this one comment, I am horrified. This is inhuman and we should be very worried. What is the full story? Is there a follow up for this story? What power do we have for redress? Can this woman receive powerful support without having to pay another £38,000 to get them back? Could the people who charged this prohibitive price be the one’s who have set this in motion? For too long we have heard about the incompetence of so called government do gooders. Is this an adoption situation for the privileged, through the back door?

‘When the children were taken into care, the mother lost her temper, and officials have commented that she has ‘anger problems’ which could put her twins in danger’

WHO WOULDN’T BE ANGRY? So they take her children and then brand her with ‘anger problems’ when she gets upset. This is just another example of the sick EU corruption and insanity which is rapidly eroding our way of life!

People need to wake up and see what is really going on here.

We are living in Nazi Britain, where people come in the middle of the night and steal your children unless you are members of their “perfect” race. Deal with it or get up and do something about it. If you think your kids are safe, you’re very wrong, they can do what they like and use any excuse to get away with it. This is modern Britain people and it’s going to get a hell of a lot worse.

Of course she got angry. If someone took my child away I’d be LIVID! Being all calm and placid would be the unnatural reaction. These SS people, well SS is a good shorthand for them with its Nazi overtones. They have far too much power with their secret courts. Children aren’t protected by this secrecy they are exploited and it’s evil. No more secret family courts!
