PUNISHMENT WITHOUT CRIME

Forced Adoption is a multi £billion industry / business:

Children are seen as commodities.

Forced Adoption does not discriminate:

Foreign nationals are often a target – parents are deported and UK Authorities keep their children.

When a child is taken from a loving parent often based on sexed up evidence by Social Workers

it would resemble a world of Mediums and Fortune Tellers.

No process is in place to support distraught parents

they are treated as criminals of manufactured misdemeanours

and the risk of possible emotional future harm.
