Protecting our children - is there a thread for this week yet?

[OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere]

Just wondering

think ur the 1st

I can't see it

oh no missed the first 5 mins

this is it then

If you on methadone you can't have a kid?

Intro inferred it's going to be much less clear cut this week.

Okaaaaay then.

Away you go.....

Hi

I just created a thread, after you did! I'll ask MNHQ to delete my thread. :)

she was a crack cocaine addict whilst pregnant

She was/is on crack?

What on earth does that do to a baby? [worried]

What do they want her to do?

How old is the baby? Was she removed at birth?

I'm liking this social worker.

This one is interesting to me - the last 2 episodes, right from the beginning I thought "No chance..." but this week I'm thinking she stands a good chance, even though I know no details as such yet. We shall see. I hope she does as she's asked.

watching

to live drug free for a period, possibly in a mother and baby unit after she has been through two week detox.

Plumps self down

Yep, removed at birth.

Interesting to see a less middle class social worker.

shes also had an older child taken away,not sure if older child is adopted,through drugs again

They want her to go to rehab and come off methadone. 'I know people on methadone who have their kids' Oh dear she is missing the point a bit :(

I don't like the way that SW is speaking to them at all. It goes against everything we get taught.

Had the baby a week and then was removed
Had to give up a previous baby too - something about asking her mother to care for him/her

Drtox from prescription methadone?

I dont think she should have promised her a Mother and Baby unit tbh.
