Government agencies should be able to remove children in 'p' environments within 24 hours. Any mother who is breastfeeding while high on P needs to address her addictions and get an iPhone to play with rather than blithely putting her latest 'toy, 'a human baby at risk. The culture of: "CYF's was working with the family", is rubbish. That just leads to more deaths and damaged children. The following excerpt from the CYF's website is a bit too touchy feely for most:
We work closely with families to help them find their own solutions, so they can:
- deal with their problems
- make the changes they need so their children will be safe and well cared for
- achieve their goals for the family.
Drug abuse and addiction is not conducive to good parenting, or safe parenting. But there are some difficulties with removing kids.
ReplyDelete- one or both partners?
- boyfriends/girlfriends/flatmates?
- how addicted?
- how affected?
- alcohol?
- tobacco?
If you had a clue Monique you'd know that there's no money, no staff and nowhere to put those kids.
