anne, when a new alpha lion takes over a pride, the first thing he does is kill all the cubs. He doesn't want any but his around.
This seems to be quite a common element in these cases: murder by step-parent, sometimes with the acquiescence of a real parent who presumably wants to keep in with the new partner.
I don't think you get many cases where both blood parents are implicated.
It is dave, but this is a permanent and fairly serious one- which involves children, adoptive parents, biological parents and so on. If essential, there's no choice, but... I also understand the wish to keep children with their parents- if possible. I wish we would give them proper support... particularly the young ones. But also remove those in danger instead.
SB, I realise you have trouble understanding....
Yes, the mother is favoured, because we know that is nearly always best for the child.
I am pro-vaccine, but anti- bullying.

I do have trouble understanding your posts it is true
Seems I am not alone either so that is comforting but at least you confirmed that the mother is favoured
Well done !
I think many of these "unsuitable" parents hang on to the babies because of the benefits system. Back in the day they would have been quite happy to farm them out to an aunt or grandparent who could have provided better care. Kids used to be a financial burden - now in some cases seen as a benefit.
And naomi doesn't count. She would rather chew off her own face than publicly agree with me. She will just post the same thing at a different point :-)
I doubt it dave. Even with the benefits system... I suspect anyone having a baby and believing they will end up financially better off, will be massively disappointed.
Pixie, firstly my purpose in life is not to contradict you - and secondly since you never seem to know whether you’re coming or going but nevertheless seem determined to portray yourself as an expert on practically every topic, I won’t be posting the same thing.
//That's the only person who is literally designed to understand their child best.//
Really? The simple act of giving birth makes her the fount of all knowledge where the child is concerned? There are many, too many, examples that gainsay this simple theory.
