I think I do believe it.
I've read a bit about cases like this, not much because many families are not allowed to talk about it. And they really can have your child adopted before you are given a chance to fight back.
One nurse when I had LO misunderstood why I wanted my DH to pick him up (I was about to have stitches and was worried I would drop LO or squeeze him) and shouted at me to concentrate on bonding with him and stop thinking about myself.
I also got confused about where I was and which baby I was having. I had flashbacks to my daughters birth and told my LO "you were supposed to be a girl." I was very confused about being given a boy and didn't think he was mine, I thought I was still in labour and didn't realise he was born yet.
If I'd been at that hospital would they have said that my wanting DH to hold the baby meant I didn't want to bond and my LO was at risk? Or taken my confusion as something other than the drugs and 18 hour labour talking and said I didn't want my son, I wanted a girl, and reported me to social services?
And some of those comments underneath the article are scary. The one who says the referrals where he works have gone up from 30 to 600 in a year. That's bad. Either that place was massively negligent before and 570 cases were going unreported or it is massively overcompensating now and 570 cases are being reported unnecessarily just to boost a quota.
I really do think our system is flawed. Babies that aren't at risk can be taken away, babies that are at serious risk can be ignored.
