"A four-year-old boy must be taken from his parents because they cannot teach him the difference between right and wrong, a judge said today."
"The mother and father, who are married churchgoers, are also unable to make sure their son stays safe or to feed and bathe him, the most senior family law judge found. "
"workers also said they were worried he was 'not getting the cuddles he needs'."
"The landmark decision by Sir James Munby, President of the High Court Family Division, means the parents, both of whom have learning difficulties, have lost their fight to keep their son, who will be adopted by a new family..."
"The judge added: ‘This is a desperately, indeed, a wrenchingly sad case. D’s parents are devoted to him and have always wanted to do, and have done, their very best for him."
"‘They would never harm him, and have never done so. They are not in any way to blame. They are not to be criticised. It is not in any sense their fault."
"‘They have struggled against great odds to be, as they would want to be, the best possible parents. But ultimately it has proved too much for them.’ "

Love has nothing to do with it. Parents are judged on their `parenting style` these days.
