UK of the free? Social Services condemned for forcibly removing unborn child from woman
 

I wonder what the full story here is? Don't take anything that self-serving Shami Chakrabarti says at face value. I bet there is a whole lot more going on that we haven't been told.

I am not sure.

It sounds like somthing from the ussr or nazies did during ww2.

It's only 'forcibly' because she wasn't mentally capable of consenting.

How the hell does the UK government get the balls to just take her baby and tell her that they are putting it up for adoption???? She is Italian, how can a foreign government just decide to take someone's child???



totally bizarre and freakish situation.



.

You don't get sectioned unless you're nutty as fuck. They will have taken it away as she was a danger to it.

Did you read the article? She was on medication, and she had the episode because she did not have her medication. She has other kids back in Italy, but now the UK government are taking her child away forever "in case" she has another episode???

Imagine visiting some foreign country and you don't have your meds for some reason. You have a panic attack and then the government in the country you were visiting takes your newborn away FOREVER and GIVES them to some foreign family in that foreign country because you "might" have another episode. It's like kidnapping.

Fucking Nightmare. :Oh crap

There is a whole lot more going on : We've figured out a way to legally intellectualize medieval savagery.

:2 cents:

Now give me any argument you can think of to make this C-section right and prove my point at the same time.

:1orglaugh

Why didnt the error checker go off with UK and free

All I am saying is, as someone with inside knowledge of how the social services and the health service works that what we are being told in that article is not the full story.
The only way this would have happened was that she presented an extreme threat to the unborn child - in no way was she as mild as the story suggests.

Yes. And it's very sparse on actual details.

She failed to take her medication. Because she lost it? Because she didn't want to?

She has two other children. How old are they? Everyone assumes young children but there is no mention of their ages, or her age. They would still be called her children if they are 20 and she is 40.

Sectioned in July, baby removed five weeks later. Removed because it was a danger to it's or her health due to a pregnancy complication? Removed because she spent the whole time threatening to jump off something high to get rid of it? Removed because the wicked people at social services really fancied having an Italian baby to play with? Removed because it was overdue and refusing to come out?

Sent her back to Italy but it doesn't say when or whether it was to home or was a transfer to another institution there. Only that she didn't return to ask for the baby back until February when it would already be 6 months old, at which point they said no as they were concerned she would relapse - which is something mental patients do, a lot.

Too many questions to know what has really gone on.

she's the wrong colour to have 'nazi' or 'facism' apply Woj! you should know that

do you normally want to kill your children during panic attacks? when does the safety of the children come into play?

:2 cents::thumbsup

All I'm saying is that even a crazy person has rights, and forced surgery is a risk to her life and we can't chose the baby's life over hers when it's clearly her choice since
nobody would argue if she terminated a pregnancy because of her own threat to life.

People terminate pregnancies just because they don't want a child; but somehow we need to cut this crazy bitch open so she doesn't accidentally terminate the pregnancy. :helpme

Would love to read the story and see your reaction if she had died during the C-section and the baby was born dead.

:2 cents:

The "full story" is irrelevant. What should be readily apparent to anyone that is not thoroughly insane is that social services has no authority to demand a medical procedure be performed on another... and that the decision was made collectively after her psychiatric evaluation, evaluating the risk she posed to herself and the unborn child in light of her mental disorder(s) and between all the relevant medical boards/decision makers, including those performing the procedure.

yes, they do have the right if the life of the child is in danger and the patent is not able to make a reasoned decision, from what little this article gives, I'm assuming that the baby was at almost full term. It's happened before, children are taken away from their parents if the parent refuses life saving treatment for the child for example.

My point was that she was in a mental institution, is suffering from bipolar disorder and was evaluated by professional medical people to determine her mental state and emotional health and whether or not she was a threat to the child... it is being made to sound like a dude with a bachelors degree in Art Appreciation, showed up at her door at home with a briefcase, diagnosed her, made a determination and then demanded she get a c-section, which clearly isn't the case at all.

Additionally, removing a child from an unsafe environment is not the same as ordering a surgery after the psychological evaluation by qualified doctors of a patient suffering from bipolar and who is at a mental institution.

The article was clearly written with a slant that makes it appear to be something it isn't. The fact that she's mentally ill and pregnant should be more than enough to give people pause for thought.

so, with that logic, will social services be taking children away from their own members, as well as the doctors who performed the surgery?

cause those people are dangerous: they will kidnap, drug, mutilate, and then kidnap the unborn children

sorry, my bad. I see what you are saying.

You're on the slippery slope of court ordered surgery; like the judge ordered you on parole but you will have your dick cut off.

The argument :

"We can save money on prisons and keep women safe from rapist by just cutting their dicks off".

I don't buy it.

It's Saudi Arabia that cuts shit off people to control them.

It's not a slippery slope. It is the state acting in the best interest of the child where the mother is not capable of doing so.

And by the way, the criminal justice system in the US and elsewhere does in fact castrate repeat sexual offenders and that so called "slippery slope" you invented has been going on for 1000s of years in this regard.

what business does the UK state have in an unborn child, to a mother who is not a citizen?

Did you guys cut out her ovaries? 'just to be safe'?

if the child is on British soil then it is subject to protection from the British authorities. I would have thought that that would have been blindingly obvious to anyone.

The day you make an intelligent, rational and coherent argument not fully rooted in spontaneously conjured up fantasy, backwards rhetoric and false arguments, might be the day I waste 3 seconds of my life addressing you respectfully. I am fairly certain however, that will never happen.... so i'll likely just keep making fun of you for being a low rent, low IQ employee who lacks both the balls and intelligence to strike out on his own and where his bitterness at these facts manifest themselves in a ceaseless storm of idiotic forum posts.

yes, but an unborn child 'isn't on british soil'

if that's the legal argument, you just successfully set the precedent of making abortion illegal.

i notice you didn't respond at all to what i said... which means you're too stupid to be able to remember why you were responding in the first place?

"what business does the UK state have in an unborn child, to a mother who is not a citizen?

Did you guys cut out her ovaries? 'just to be safe'?"

here it is again.. please think slow

Pigshit. The "criminal justice system in the U.S." has never castrated anyone.

I know its futile on my part to educate you since you never tire of being wrong., nevertheless,....

Chemical and Surgical Castration

A few states, including California and Florida, permit convicted sex offenders to be injected with Depo Provera, an FDA-approved birth control drug. Often called "chemical castration," Depo Provera is meant to quell the sex drive of male sex offenders by lowering their testosterone levels. The drug does not render any permanent physical change to the body. The treatment is believed to be most effective on sex offenders who possess uncontrollable biological urges that take the form of sexual fantasies that are usually only satisfied by acting on the fantasy.

Both the California and Florida statutes provide for mandatory injections for repeat sex offenders, as well as discretionary injections for first-time offenders. Despite the mandatory language in the Florida law, the law has apparently been invoked only a few times since its passage in 1997.

Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), charge that chemical castration violates sex offenders' constitutional rights. The ACLU contends that chemical castration violates an offender's implied right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment, rights of due process and equal protection, and the Eighth Amendment's ban of cruel and unusual punishment.

Pursuant to a 1997 law, Texas permits surgical castration of offenders. By May 2005, three men had undergone the voluntary procedure. Candidates must be at least 21 years of age, have had at least two sex offense convictions, and have undergone at least 18 months of sex offender treatment, including Depo Provera injections, to understand how their bodies might react with less testosterone.

I am aware of all of this and no where do I see where a member of the "criminal justice system" performed a castration...chemical or otherwise. Maybe you can point out where a cop...a prosecutor...a judge...even a court clerk...administered a castration.

Castrations in the U.S. are usually not ordered by the court but are offered by the court as an alternative to reduce the sentence the Judge is proposing...be it death or be it a long term in prison. The castration itself is administered by some member of the medical profession...be it chemical or surgical...and not the "criminal justice system".

BTW...please post what I have ever been wrong about. I on the other hand can post where you are often wrong.

so you spend 30 minutes responding to Pathfinder?

lmfao. you should charge for comedy :)

He has never responded to PF...as PF died before he ever became a member of this board...at least under the nick TheSquealer.

The level of derp in this thread is strong.

O ... M ... G !!!

that's good!

so, you're saying, that any abortion that happens in the UK is murder?

if this mother 'isn't fit' to raise her unborn child, and that unborn child is removed from the womb 'for its safety'.. how doesn't this get applied to actual 'would be' UK citizens?

nah, I'm not getting into this, you are obviously just trolling now.

by.. pointing out a serious flaw in your statement?

Both the best and truest reply I've read in ages.

I might disagree or agree 100% with this, it's hard to know without a fraction of the facts. I definitely agree with an essentially full term baby being surgically removed if the mother is a serious danger to it and calling the cops (for a "panic attack" wtf?? Was it a "Someone call the cops I'm about to kill my baby" "panic attack"?). Hell, if it was my wife I'd probably want it removed ASAP before the psych medication poisoned it, depending on what she was being given at the hospital I'd sign that waiver.

Probably the only thing that is more obviously problematic is not giving the baby back at 6 months. At this point she could no doubt show she was back on her meds etc. This has been in front of a judge twice, there is obviously a gaping chasm of information we aren't privy to here. Can't make any real judgement on how fucked it is or is not. It's not like the guy getting x-rayed and forced enemas for clenching his buttcheeks. Not yet at any rate.

what that an unborn baby is not physically touching land so therefore not allowed protection like you claim?

No, it is obvious that your nick is being used to generate controversy just to get sig views. there can be no way that you believe any of what you say, Sextronic wouldn't be so stupid to employ a real person with such windowlicker views - hell, even KFC would refuse you if you was real.
