It's no different in the UK. We as a family have suffered these injustices first hand. My sister has Aspergers Syndrome, Social Services decided she needed to move back home with our mum in order to give her the best chance of coping with a baby. People with Aspergers don't cope with pressure too well and Social Services kept turning the screw until she snapped. She didn't hurt her son but said she had online which was stupid. They swooped, it was proven the baby was fine but she didn't stand a chance of getting him back after that. My mum went back and forth to the secret courts (closed courts) to try and get custody of him, paid thousands of pounds out to no avail, no real reasons given only that my mum would probably give my sister access to the child. My mum lives in a nice home, in a nice area, close to good schools. She doesn't have a criminal record or any drug or alcohol issues, she even worked for Social Services for 12 years in charge of vulnerable people and still couldn't get custody of her grandson. I think my mum even put in an appeal to the High Court and went to the European Court of Human Rights. The child was eventually adopted out. My mum tells everyone she can that her grandson was stolen, I don't think she will ever get over it. Families are being destroyed for no reason, Social Services were originally put in place to help keep families together, not now, they just rip them apart, things have got to change!!
