Why did the National Society for prevention of cruelty to children, by
men only, not intervene in this case?

Why did a heroin addict get custody of her children?

Would anyone from the NSPCC, or the family court, or the aberdeen
social services department care to tell me, WHY THE FUCK DID A HEROIN
ADDICT GET CUSTODY OF HER CHILDREN?

"His defence advocate, Jim Duguid, argued in court that a psychiatric
examination of his client showed he had mental problems which could
have affected his behaviour, including post traumatic stress disorder
caused by a tour of duty in Northern Ireland with the British Army. But
doctors had declared him sane and fit to plead."

but clearly not fit to be a parent. The courts preferred a heroin
addict who spends her children's shoe money on drugs.

Donaldson, you are a hero, you have ridded your children of the burden
of having to be raised by a psycho. I hope you get out straight away on
appeal.

Lord Bracadale thought it was small mercy that that the kids wouldn't
remember it. I wonder what kind of tragedy he feels a kid having to
grow up in a heroin household is?
