The council said it was acting in the best interests of the woman, an Italian who was in Britain on a work trip, because she had suffered a mental breakdown.If you are not absolutely terrified and outraged by this you are wrong. The precedent this sets put every person on earth in danger.oh my god read the article this is FUCKING HORRIFIC. she got back on her bipolar disorder medication and is in recovery but they won’t give her her child back “because of the risk she might relapse”. What you’re fucking saying with that is that mentally ill people shouldn’t even be allowed children even if they’re safe and well *just in case*, that we’re a permanent threat to ourselves and others even when we’re in treatment and recovery and living a stable life. I am FUCKING LIVIDOver a fucking panic attack. I’m fucking serious, all of this over a single panic attack. They took her baby in the most horrific way possible because she had a fucking panic attack.From the Article:She suffered a panic attack, which her relations believe was due to her failure to take regular medication for an existing bipolar condition.It’s worth noting, that it’s very common for people on psychiatric medication to go off of their meds if they become pregnant, because of risk of side effects. I bolded the above. I wanted there to be no one to think that she was being irresponsible for not haven taken her meds regularly. She did it for good reason, for the health of her own baby. And she got punished for it.i fucking cantSo she did what was best for her kid, has ONE SINGLE PANIC ATTACK WHICH IS A THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHETHER THEY HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS OR NOT and decide that they can literally violate her body in a horrific manner and take her kid away. But she’s the dangerous one.Terribly sad. I hope this gets worked out in her benefit.I can’t even imagine how terrifyingly awful that situation had to have been. Forcing a woman, against her will, to undergo sedation and then waking up in pain, without the fetus you’ve been carrying for 9 months? That’s beyond the pale. How much do the rights of an unborn fetus circumvent the rights of a full-grown adult? How much do we have to other the mentally ill, treating them (us) as less than human? She was literally treated like a breeding animal, with no cause of concern for her safety, mental health or well-being. Fuck. Fuck.The British government won’t even hand the baby over to the Italian government. They’re keeping it in a British foster home. THIS WOMAN’S BABY MIGHT NOT EVEN GROW UP SPEAKING HER LANGUAGE IF SHE DOESN’T GET IT BACK.The entire fucking world should be enraged over this case. What gives them the right???British child protection services are the absolute worst. There have been horrible cases of children being taken from their parents for the dumbest reasons for years now. This case beats them all, though.FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT FEMALE BODIES ARE STILL TREATED AS PUBLIC PROPERTYOh I remember this caseit’s a few years old nowdoes anyone knows of she ever got her baby back?Did she get her baby back?I looked it up and the answer is: no. Her daughter will be 8 next month and was adopted by “good and loving people” and “Pacchieri later told an Italian newspaper she had been left traumatised by the incident, adding: “I want my daughter back. I’m suffering like an animal.”“Pacchieri is the mom. She was left so traumatized that she gave up. She knows she’ll never get her daughter back and she’s now just trying to get over the trauma. It makes me so freaking mad. The UK always likes to praise itself on how they have great policies but they treat women like absolute garbage and always have. This woman had ONE panic attack and they took her daughter FROM HER FUCKING WOMB. They said they did that cause there was a risk of her womb rupturing if she had a natural delivery and that she may be uncooperative and let me tell you, anyone would be uncooperative if you were trying to take their baby away.The news also states “British authorities said they liaised extensively with Pacchieri’s extended family and that adoption was only considered after all other options were exhausted.” which I HIGHLY doubt because no one who takes away a baby from a woman bc she had a panic attack is not trust worthy, especially if that woman is from an ethnic group that isn’t well regarded amongst those who took the baby.I know I rambled but this just made me so mad.Thank you for doing the research. This is heartbreaking and I hope the adopters know what they did.This is horrifying. And in ADDITION to everything said above:- c-sections can have major health risks and should only be used when necessary.- Babies should not be delivered early unless it is medically necessary, as prematurely delivered babies can have additional health problemsSo the government put this mom and her baby in MORE danger “just in case.”UGH.Pregnant women are treated like absolute shit in the UK, from lack of support for miscarriage to straight up redundancy problems in the workplace when they take maternity leave. This story sickens me but doesn’t surprise me. Not to throw salt in the wound because this story is a tragedy, but people need to realize this is the true face of welfare statism and “””free””” government healthcare. The intentions behind these bureaucratic institutions crowding out voluntarily funded, community based safety nets was anything but well meaning.This is exactly why libertarians desperately try to get people to see that stories like these are inevitable; this is what a powerful centralized government leads to. A government big enough to give you everything you could want is also big enough to take everything you have. People being reduced to “public property” owned by the state with no bodily autonomy or individual rights has been the goal the entire time.I’m appalled they could do this to a foreigner tooSHE WASN’T EVEN A CITIZEN -- source link
