Ah still going I see.
I think there are actually a huge amount of separate arguments here, and by agreeing with one point doesn?t necessarily mean you agree with all iykwim. Were the wyatts irresponsible to have two children so soon after baby Charlotte was born? Possibly, but Charlotte was never expected to survive, so maybe they craved the normality of other children, who knows. I think we might all act differently in the same situation.
Should the parents have gone to court to insist all measures be taken to resussitate their child? My honest opinion on that is I don?t know. I believe that everyone has a right to life, without question, but resuscitation is, to put it bluntly, quite brutal, it?s not a pleasant thing to happen to anyone, let alone to a tiny baby who already has little chance of surviving. . Doctors had said that with every resuscitation, Charlotte?s lungs would weaken, thus make her more prone to infection etc. I?m not sure whether it was so much about whether Charlotte should have been allowed to live, but whether she should have been allowed to die iykwim, and I think that as a parent that can be an impossible decision to make which is why the courts often become involved. As it happens, the dnr never had to be enforced, so ultimately Charlotte has made the decision for herself.
As for the matter of Charlotte going into foster care, I do think there is more to that then we are being told, the father has a criminal record and chose not to see his first three children, who knows why that is, but a lot has been said about the conduct of the parents, and there is currently an injunction preventing the media talking about Charlotte?s care and the circumstances surrounding it, which would suggest there is more to this than two parents simply being unable or unwilling to care for her.
Should cost come into the equasion? Absolutely not. I would far sooner the state paid for babies like Charlotte to be cared for in the best possible way, care/education for people with sn, for support for the parents/guardians/carers of those people with sn, and no I don?t have a child with sn. If the money has to come from somewhere, then take it away from the paedofiles, and the rapists, and the various other scum that are sitting in prison bleeting on about their human rights. Every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves and equal chance in life.
