The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
"But we have made it clear on numerous occasions that children would NOT be removed from a family environment just because of a weight issue."
Yet the entire article wants to imply that this is exactly why.
I am going to hope that weight was not the only issue here... but then it begs the question, if the situation would have been so "horrific" for the newborn, why not take the other children as well?
Something doesn't add up here, but if they are being punished for being fat by having their family torn apart something has gone completely wrong. I don't care what your opinion is on fat people.
I dont know mate - there has been some pretty high profile cases recently where the authorities knew children were at risk, did nothing and the child died. I think parents have a duty of care to their children and if they are unwilling or unable to live up to that, the state should step in.

At which time, all worldly goods except what is necessary to work and earn a living should be taken from the unwilling parents to support the cost of raising their kids...The welfare tap can be cut off at this point...They should also be neutered to prevent the problem from arising again...Ben
