The British Courts have ruled that this woman is not smart enough to be a mom; her daughter is now up for adoption. The mother, identified as Rachel, has opted to take her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

According to this Daily Mail article,
"The adoption is going ahead despite a recent psychiatrist's report which declared that the 24-year-old has 'good literacy and numeracy and that her general intellectual abilities appear to be within the normal range'. "

What an interesting and sad case. I would rather see the child stay with it's mom and the mom get mentoring as often as needed or necessary for the welfare of the child. This case could be handled in a more productive way in my opinion. It's not fair to the mom or the child..not right to do that to a child!
