The pictures they released were interesting. What made Peter very cute as a child looked like we'd found the Missing Link in the mother.
The other thing about the selective personal information was that the mother rarely got up until lunchtime, spent most of her time on the internet, and had a bit of a drink/drug problem.
We're invited to draw an image and context from that. All I could think about was the people on forums I 'know' who would fit that description rather nicely.
Blimey Daniel that's a bit below the belt
I might sound harsh but its true, lots of us that are parents may have certain traits that could mark us out as needing our children removed from us......i for one spend far too much time on t'net lol, but i think the point daniels making is that social workers have to make some tough choices and removing a child from it's parents is always a last resort option.
I also want to know why the Grandmother who seemed to have alot to say, wasn't aware of the situation either. The fact is these people were mentally disturbed and if i'm going to be bleeding heart liberallist about it, probably spent much of their childhood in conditions very similar to baby p's
