Social services take a woman's child from the womb

A pregnant woman had her baby taken out of the womb by the social services in Essex, England. She was forcibly sedated while the baby was delivered by caesarean section and taken to care.


Officials in Essex were granted a court order to take the baby from the Italian woman after she suffered a mental breakdown while in Britain on a work trip.

The council said it was acting in the best interests of the woman. According to the Sunday Telegraph, social services are refusing to give the baby girl, who is now 15 months old, back to her mother – despite the woman claiming she has recovered.

The woman says she was not made aware of what was happening and woke up to find her child had been delivered by caesarean section and taken into care.

The case is set to be raised in Parliament next week, with the woman’s lawyers claiming the council should have consulted her family first and Italian social services should have been put in charge of the child.

I am speechless on this to be honest!
