Teenage Mum Wins Right to Keep Child. Mr John Hemming's crowings were short lived as the child was the district judge ordered the child back into care while investigations were continuing.
The council defended its actions and said that it had followed all the proper procedures, hinting that the mother's solicitor had over-reacted in taking the case to the High Court.
“The council and a range of other partner agencies had enough concern for the baby's welfare during the pregnancy to believe that action would be needed to protect the baby when it was born. The law does not allow application for a court order before birth. The protection plan made in advance included the intention to apply for a care crder immediately following the birth of this baby,” it said
The Telegraph noted "He said she planned to "vigorously contest" an application by the local authority social services for an interim care order. She is also seeking damages from the local authority".
I know no mum who would seek damages - all mums would only seek their child back and ask the SS to keep their damages.
