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.

Heartbreakingly awful story The high handed arrogance of these so-called professionals, who made the decision to adopt this couples baby, is absolutely staggering It raises serious questions for parents, who need to seek medical help for a sick child with worrying symptoms, could the outcome be that they find they are treated like criminals and even have their own child taken away from them? Seems like one needs 'safeguarding' from the safeguarders

Karrissa Cox and Richard Carter have spent 3 years in hell through no fault of their own. The system has failed them shamefully in not only taking so long, but also for arranging for the child's adoption before a decision was made. Please return their child to them and amend the law that prevents adoption before the conclusion of similar cases.

How can the adoptive parents keep the baby now? Something inhuman if they do.

My heart cries out for these poor parents and their precious little one, who have been so evilly treated by the UK's iniquitous Social Services and Family Courts! The terrible reason underlying all such pernicious interference by the Social 'Services' and their equally vile legal cohorts in the secret 'Family' Courts (with the collusion of our brainwashed police force, perfidious state school teachers, and unethical medical doctors) into the sanctity and privacy of parents and their families is the deliberate agenda by Western Governments to replace God-ordained parental authority with God-less totalitarian State authority over children. May the eyes of all these self-righteous useful idiots be opened that they may understand that their attempts to steal or kidnap a child from its parents is an abomination in God's sight, and that, far from protecting children, they are doing all these little ones great and lasting harm.
