It's an area of high socio economic deprivation and crime, they are stretched to breaking point.

The bacon silliness was the whole premise of the article though, the lies in the article that they were a no English speaking family is rubbish, that begs the question what else have they lied about? They know that Tower Hamlets hands are tied due to this being an open case. It is interesting the a judge only placed the child back with the family after intervention from the times, MP Phillip Hollobone and none other than the chairman of the Commons education committee Robert Halfon....very odd imo.

Actually someone interviewed from the council said they have funds for fostering but a severe shortage of foster carers, so it is not about financial resources being stretched in this instance, it's very easy to fall back on ...lack of funding, blah blah when it might come down to someone doing their job very badly?
