Couple with baby found but not the baby yet on 15:35 - Mar 3 by The_Flashing_Smile | Surely the baby being taken away from them is better than just letting it die?! |
To you or I, absolutely. To the kind of person who is in a place where they aren't able to care for their child, it might look different. It's incredibly tragic in any case. |  |

Tragic and criminal and presumably forms the basis of the charges. I don't know the circumstances leading up to the announcement of them being on the run from the car, but it does appear like a failing of our far-too-over-stretched social services. That said, until the baby was born, their hands were probably very much tied. |  |

How is it a failing of social services? A couple determined to go off grid before the birth who also had access to a shed load of dough. |  | |  |

They can't really do anything other than assess and plan until the baby is born and even then it's a police matter if the parents try and do a runner. |  |

I am not sure I phrased that very well. I don't mean it as blaming them but rather that their powers are not sufficient to prevent it. Perhaps a limitation would be a better word to use. |  |
