I have been following that story.
I am so glad that justice and common sense prevail sometimes.

But I was just listening to a story from England.

A couple had their three children taken away because one of the children "might" have been physically abused. The children were adopted out.

Now a judge has ruled that the "abuse" probably never happened but the couple can't have their children back because they have bonded to the adoptive parents and it would be too "disruptive" to change the situation now.
