Social services lurch from one act of stupidity to another:

Hasn't a high court judge demanded an explanation from the social workers?

The whole story seems a bit 'flaky' to me.

Apparently so. I've heard reports ranging from the mother just forgetting to take her medication for bipolar disorder on the morning she took the flight, to having a full-on nervous breakdown. One report I've heard was that the first thing she knew about her daughter being taken from her was when she woke up after being sedated and sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

It was a Judge here who ordered that the child is sent for adoption here in the UK. It seems very OTT when this is an Italian family and the lady's other children are apparently with their maternal Grandmother in Italy or were whilst she was ' ill ' here.
