Default Are Social Services out of control

I don't no how many of you have been following what has been happening in Nottingham about the baby that was first unlawfully removed then taken away, and the case of Fran Lyon (Link 2)

Another reported case

According to further reading around of this it seems that Social Services are snatching babies from the delivery ward on the most spurious of details and are using the family courts to get away with it.

Daily Mail Link

Guardian Link

The contention is that they are doing this to meet targets on the number of children placed for adoption, but instead of trying to place older children, they are harvesting babies which are easier to place.

This is a government ministers response

Has anyone else had a run in?

From what i read it seems that anyone who has a baby can have it removed just so quotas are filled.
