Dear
Prime Minister,
We
have been hearing the voice of the parents who were wrongly accused
of child abuse in the news. This innocent couple have been deprived
of their basic right to be parents of their biological kid without
any mistake of their own. This has been mainly due to flaw in our own
system.
As
worried parents, they took the child to the Accident and Emergency
when they noticed baby’s mouth bleeding. We understand the concern
shown by the hospital and social workers when they saw the bruises on
the child. But it has been proven that the bruises were due to the
illness the baby was suffering. The parents were mistakenly inducted
in this criminal case.
Anyone
can imagine the ordeal the parents would have to go through when
their little one was taken away from them for none of their own
mistakes. We as humans, parents and responsible individuals do
understand value of a life.
I'm
sure the parents who adopted the child can understand and empathise
with the child’s parents. When the child grows up we can't explain
to the child that due to a flaw in the system you were deprived of
growing up with your own parents! That child will never forgive the
system.
I'm
sure any parent in this situation will fight their tooth and nail to
get their child back home.
We
want the below actions to be taken:
1.
We all want make sure that the couple to be united with their child.
2.
We want to amend the adoption law so that until a case is decided,
the baby shouldn't be adopted.
3. We should fast track these cases
so that the baby shouldn't be in the care for long time.

Regardless of the length of time that the adoption happened, it was due to an illegal taking of the baby. If this child had been stolen by a person instead of the State, it would be immediately returned to the birth parents. This should be done asap to lessen the trauma to the child and give it a chance to grow up with the birth parents.
