THE recent removal of a child from a young mother with a disability, reported in today's Saturday Age,
is heart-wrenching and disturbing and leaves me and those involved in
the case in emotional turmoil. Goodness knows, then, how the poor
mother, ''Rebecca'', is coping, let alone her child.
It appears, however, that the removal of children from
parents with a disability, basically because they have a disability,
may be not so uncommon.
