In the UK, grandparents have had their grandchildren forcibly removed from the home by social services because they were deemed too old and too sick to care for them. They are only 59 and 46 years old, and suffer from angina and diabetes. Unless there is more to the story, I fail to see how this warrants the children being removed from the home, and being put up for adoption. There are times to remove children from a home, but this doesn’t seem to be one of them. It scares me to know that a democratic government can wield this kind of power and get away with it. I hope the people of the UK rise up against it.

to make it better, jason, the children were placed in the home of a homosexual couple.

Yes, the Telegraph link in my post noted the same thing. While I do not think such an environment is good for children, I think removing the children from the grandparents’ home (for the reasons they were removed) is the greater injustice.
