I ask ... How do we even know if the mother-to-be was sufficiently compos mentis to understand the seriousness of her situation?

 

We don't but neither do we know if the judge was fully briefed on the systems that exist to support mothers to be in that situation and what those who work in the field opinions were.

 

If a person's human rights can be denied to the degree that this woman's were, it is very important it should be subject to scrutiny

 

The problem with these news reports is that we only read what the reporters want us to read.

 

In the case of the Court of Protection we only know what they are prepared to let us know, that's the problem

I want my daughter back': Italian mother's heartache at being ordered to have her baby adopted after being forced to have a Caesarean

  • 'I am suffering like an animal' says distraught mother

An Italian woman at the centre of row after being forced to have a Caesarean and then ordered to have her baby adopted has today broken her silence.

The 35-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, described her horrific ordeal in an interview with the Italian press.

Her daughter was taken into care by Essex County Council's social services team, who claimed it was responding to concerns over the health of the mother and her baby.

Today the woman, whose baby was put up for adoption by the council in October, claimed she had been misled.


The newborn was taken into state care on the orders of a judge in the notoriously secretive Court of Protection, despite the mother's pleas to be allowed to raise her. File picture

She said: 'I was sedated and deceived to give birth - that's how they took my daughter. I want my daughter back - I am suffering like an animal. They forced me to have a Caesarean without telling me anything. 

'The day of the birth I thought they were just moving me from one room to another - I was telling them I wanted to go back to Italy. Then I was sedated. Then when I woke up she wasn't with me. They took her away from me.'
