DON'T THROW THE BABY AT THOSE SAME SOCIAL WORKERS!


A teenage mother whose newborn baby was taken from her by social workers has been banned from seeing her son after she threw him across the room during a fight with the boy's father. The fight occurred while the parents were visiting the baby, who is currently in foster care, during a session supervised by social workers from Nottingham City Council in England.

According to a report by one of the social workers who was present at the supervised meeting, the father first threw the mobile phone charger at the woman. She then threw it back at him, just missing the head of the baby. She then grabbed the child and forcefully thrust him into a baby bouncer before taking him back into her arms.

When one of the social workers said "give me the baby", she threw the child at her from about 18in away. The social worker observed that she did this "without due care of where he was actually going to land and without supporting his head."

Shortly before the fight, the woman had been ordered by a judge to go on a residential course to assess her abilities as a parent but she had given up after three days. On transferring the hearing to the County Court, the judge said the woman would have to take on board the council's concerns about her behavior.

Hmm, the ball is now in her court, let's hope the baby isn't. A baby in her arms is a lethal weapon; I mean, it must hurt like hell getting hit by a flying baby.
