They already have a huge amount of egg on their face, and slaying dragons that aren't there isn't making them look any better right now. Behaving rashly at this point in time is just making them an even bigger joke than they already are. A tragic joke. I agree with your assesment, mind you, but there's plenty of child abuse and then some that they are blatantly ignoring.

If the kids have settled in, they don't deserve the upheaval of being separated again, and if the adoptive parents have bonded with the kids, having to give them up would be as rough on them as it was for the kids original parents. Obviously, the kids should never have been taken, but that isn't the issue any more. The issue is what's best for the children. Also? The idea that Social Services are looking out for the best interests of The State (scary capitalisation!) is patently laughable. What possible benefit is there to playing Find The Lady with other peoples kids? Do you think The State have some kind of top secret oppression device powered by the tears of children, or something? No. It's just good ol' fashioned incompetence, that's all. Let’s not forget that there are two other parties involved here.

My husband had his children taken from him and they were given to his horrible ex. She has had 10 kids from 7 different dads - and she looks (and acts) alot like Nadya Suleman, just add another 150lbs. She had abandoned the kids with my husband when the kids were 1&3, and when she decided she wanted some extra spending money, she lied to CPS stating that he was abusive and a molestor - of course they believe the mother 98% of the time without even investigating and they took the kids away. She doesn't even have the kids with her now, and she's still collecting child support (which we're working on reversing and hopefully get her for fraud). CPS is a joke in the US, it sounds just as bad in the UK. They don't help families, they rip them apart and leave the good parents to repair the damage done to these poor kids. All too true MrMag.

Virtually all commercially available baby formulas contain added vitamin C for this reason, but heat and storage destroy vitamin C. Tempscire: A quick look at Wikipedia and you can find this:

Look at them, they do not appear to eat well." I agree they don't look as if they eat well. However, I don't think the conclusion can be made that their appearance alone constitutes abuse. After all, it was said that the scurvy was a rare case. Anyway, I always feel frustrated when I hear of cases like this. There is a point when bureaucracy goes too far. “If the child had scurvy it was abuse fo a differnet kind. Look at them, they do not appear to eat well.”
