Couple wrongly accused of abusing their baby cannot have their children back because it is 'too late', court rules

The couple's ordeal began in October 2003 when Mrs Webster took their second son to hospital with a painful, swollen leg.

He was found to have a number of small fractures which doctors said could be caused only by physical abuse.
From the Daily Mail, June 2007

Medical experts later concluded that the injuries were not caused by violent twisting and shaking, but were symptomsof scurvy. This now-rare deficiency is believed to have been caused by the family GP's advice that the child should be fed on soya milk, which is lacking in vitamin C.

The Websters have not seen their first three children since January 2005, when they were aged five, three and two.

They have always denied causing the fractures.

This is crazy! These kids deserve to be with their natural parents.

I find it so totally unjust. If the British social services aren't letting truly abused kids die after having visited them hundreds of times, they're taking them from non-abusing homes, and giving them up for non-reversible adoption. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

They need a major civil lawsuit to give them a wake-up.

I'd still prefer some bullet usage. Heck, they are guilty of gross human abuse in my opinion..
