sad story but i have to say using it to try and pull away kids from their parents simply because the parents are of a certain belief or lack certain intelligence or schooling seems a very slippery slope. Ofc the UK is happy to jump on, slide down and get injured at the bottom of slippery slopes, but yeah... you cant force people to conform with your ideas and beliefs even if they are 'scientifically sound'.
