no i don't think her father should get off scot free, he should be prosecuted, child abuse at the least
"Marvellous how she came back to Britain to have her child"
now why shouldn't she have her child in england, where she was born and grew up?
(although perhaps i should say britain as i don;t know that she is from england specifically)
AOG, are you expecting the parents to pay the cost of their child being taken into and kept in care, which appears to be what has happened in this case? Well, that is an idea which we could apply in all cases.
You did notice that she must be a UK citizen did you and is a UK resident?
