The courts? Or social workers? Was it really the case that the social workers suggested an interpreter and the Eritrean woman communicated (somehow) that she considered this to be a breach of her human rights, so the social workers said, "Right you are miss" and toddled off?kenSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-36205526328961014442010-03-25T05:36:43.740+00:002010-03-25T05:36:43.740+00:00"Kerry Robertson will not be the only one bec...<i>"Kerry Robertson will not be the only one because sure as fuck I don't understand it either."</i> <br /><br />Ditto!<br /><br /><i>"Could someone explain to me how - if an interpreter was needed - she communicated this fact to the social workers without using an interpreter??"</i> <br /><br />Good point!<br /><br /><i>"I suspect that the young woman who was persecuted because of her low IQ, simply fell into the ethnic balance trap."</i> <br /><br />Also having a new-born, non-disabled white child (eminently adoptable) helped too...<br /><br /><i>"The exceptional cases reaching the news are the tip of an iceberg, not exceptions."</i><br /><br />Now, <i>that's</i> a scary thought!JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-45991139733035256652010-03-25T03:16:13.240+00:002010-03-25T03:16:13.240+00:00My experience has been even worse than this.

After all she did see what was coming and had the sense to do a runner, just not far enough unfortunately. No doubt she'll be reading this story with great bitterness and an inability to understand why her son was taken from her and why she couldn't marry his father when someone who hears voices can keep their baby right up until someone pronounces the poor mite dead from starvation. Kerry Robertson will not be the only one because sure as fuck I don't understand it either.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.com
