Have you heard about the Kiwi couple in Australia that has had their 3 children taken off them, including a breastfed 2 week old boy becuase they went to the gouvernment to ask for help!
Hubby lost his job, they used all their savings and now have had their family pulled apart! DOC wont let the mother visit to breastfeed. The baby got admitted to hospital 2 days after being taken off her for jaundice and DOC are saying that this is for lack of care by the mother!! |

I didn't see the story but saw the preview on the news. How sad! Were they asking for money/benefits?

No, no benefits. They wanted help finding cheaper accomodation as they had a few weeks to get out of their house.
It is incredibly sad! |

I have not seen it, but does not sound right, is there any more to the story?? Over here they don't even take the kids at risk of their bad bad parents.
Will go try to find it.

I think it is terrible that they are doing this to this family just because they asked for help.
I have to say that I don't have much time for some Ausies out there after a recent link that I was sent.
