In case you hadn't noticed this is a thread about baby loss, so it's a given. Especially when someone has specifically aimed a question at you about baby loss.
No one who hasn't at least got psychosis (this has come from a psychiatric nurse here and from MIND) would snatch a baby because they'd lost a child. Some of the people on this thread would like to disagree with you on that point too because they've been through a lot more than that. Others not here have been through worse yet with 17 babies dying within 10 days of birth EVERY SINGLE DAY we still have never had a case of a baby being snatched by someone who has just lost their baby. Or do you believe that only infants of parents who haven't had a hard time lose their babies?
This isn't about a hard storyline, it isn't about being offended as I said to them yesterday you can't hurt, traumatise, upset or offend us anymore than we already are, we've lost a baby.
You can not compare ANY "sad" life event to losing a baby, it just doesn't work like that. There's no coming back from there, it's the worst thing you will ever have happen to you (and TBH all the cries of "look at her life" just belittle the loss, because none of it is anything compared to loosing her children). You can't compare any storyline to this one because there is no parallel.
I don't care if you believe bereaved mothers snatch, the truth is that people already do. People don't like women who have lost their children. Hard simple fact. They're scared that it's catching, they're scared they'll steal their baby, they're scared they'll lose it and do something stupid, they're scared of saying the wrong thing, they're scared we'll bring them down. You don't often see or speak to mothers who've lost babies because they learn quickly not to talk about it, to deny they had an extra child. You don't see it often on TV, for them to release a storyline like this is damaging. Newly bereaved mothers (not me or anyone else who has lost their baby years ago, we learnt) don't need people being "educated" (John Yorke's word) into believing this is possible (unlikely or unusual as he likes to say mean it's possible) and when they have this image burnt into their heads and the producers are spouting that they spoke to FSIDS, bereaved parents, a MW, a psychologist, etc, they're telling people they did their homework and it happens.
It's not about a soap story, it's about the fact they've told people on all the news mediums that it happens. It doesn't. It hasn't. We have to live with the consequences of that for years to come and we've only just started to come out of the era that thought all bereaved mothers were a danger to society - I've known old ladies in mental hospitals because their baby died, just SIDS, and they were locked up for it.
