I just wonder if the Social workers will be as quick to intervene in the case of Kate Moss......she has a two year old child and if what is in the papers is to be believed, then she surely is not a fit person to bring a child up.

Apparently, it is cheaper to put a child up for adoption that to give the parents the support they need...... there is also the thorny issue of adoption targets to be met........this is not the only case in Essex where children have been removed from parents who are deemed unfit. I don't understand it at all.......single teenage mums get the help they need, so why can't other disadvantaged groups get assistance.
