Ben's mother lives in hope that she will see him again; consider the LEGAL KIDNAPPINGS!
The social services snatch children and threaten that they will NEVER BE RETURNED !
This maybe be ok in genuine cases. But many are not, Remember the Websters; one of their 3 small children broke a limb so the authorities took all 3 kids and put them up for adoption. They were told that they will never see them again!! Later , it was found that the child had BRITTLE BONE DECEASE. The Social people apologised," but you will never see your kids again"
I know that there are other such cases
