Playing it safe

The lawyer for the Roma family, whose child was held under protective custody by the State, asked, “how would you feel if this happened to you?”

I would ask him how would I feel if they didn’t and something bad happened to the child.

When it comes to the welfare of a child the onus is on the State to protect that child. In future one of the parents should be allowed to stay with the child until the matter is resolved.
