As someone involved in child protection protection work, that is most definitely a step too far. The emotional damage caused to children of that age being removed from their families is immense. Please remember that - whatever we might think of the parenting (and some is sub-optimal) - Rebecca and Steve are the boys' parents and the boys will love them dearly. Removing children is a huge decision (including for the judge) and everyone involved in the process feels an immense sense of responsibility and sadness. Children don't think "Oh good. I've got a bed with slats now. So happy I've got new home and will never need to see that woman that goes horseriding at the weekend." However nice their adoptive parents are, it is a huge loss. We've moved totally away now from telling children they are "lucky" to have a new family and should feel that way to acknowledging the huge trauma that removal causes and the life long repercussions.Some people might say this is too far but at this point I honestly believe she'd be better just giving those boys up for adoption... She could then spend all her money on horse riding, fast fashion and beauty treatments without any questions asked and those boys would get a family who would love and appreciate them and ensure they had proper beds, clothes, footwear and attended all the after school clubs their hearts desire
