Abused children taken into care

FOUR children who suffered years of abusive parenting by their drug-addicted mother have been taken into care.
The parent, who cannot be named for legal reasons, left them to go hungry and dirty and spent their food allowance to feed her own heroin habit.
The disturbing story of the four neglected children left a special sitting of the Family Division of the Royal Court ‘very troubled’ after it heard the harrowing details of their short ‘rollercoaster’ lives.
Named only as the ‘T children’, all are under ten years old and they will now spend Christmas in the full care of the States of Jersey while being put up for adoption.
The judgment of the court – Deputy Bailiff William Bailhache and Jurats Tibbo and Clapham – said: ‘The court has been very troubled by this case, but has accepted the view of three experts that the balance of risk makes it appropriate that an order be made which provides a basis for certainty and consistency in the lives of these children.’ (from JEP)

So sad...

I am sure the children will have a far better life than living with such a woman who was happy to be called mother
