Iāve just been reading this story. Absolutely sickening. Sounds like it was some sort of foster-to-adoption pathway? But they couldnāt cope and things were falling apart within weeks of the baby being placed with them. She admitted to assaulting the child over and over to her husband. The husband blamed the baby āHeās really ruined itā.
They admitted things werenāt going well and SS said they couldnāt proceed with adoption until āfurther therapeutic workā was taken. What would it have taken to remove that baby and place him with another foster family? Or was that frowned upon because it would be too disruptive for him, and damage whatever caregiver attachments he may have formed? Poor baby really had no chance of a happy life from the moment he was removed from his birth parents.
