3 full siblings over a 7 year period is very weird
This is awful. Some people aren’t fit to be parents
I think we can assume that the mother is in a very bad situation and that she needs help and support. It’s so weird how noone noticed her not having the babies she was pregnant with. If she is in the country illegally it explains how she has slipped through the cracks.
>The older children have been adopted, and that is Newham Children’s Services’ plan for Elsa too.
>However, the local authority cannot register Elsa’s birth while the police investigation is active.
>Without that, the local authority cannot complete its evidence before the family court and seek its approval for her adoption.
Can anybody explain to me why this is?
> The baby was extremely cold so hospital staff named her “Elsa” after the character in the Disney film Frozen
I guess it helps to have a dark sense of humour when you have to deal with things like this, but Jesus Christ
When I was in my abusive marriage it is entirely feasible that I could have been away from people long enough to conceal pregnancies. There is no one who would have realised. It’s only the final three months, maybe two. It would definitely be possible to stay entirely isolated for that amount of time in many DV situations, when they’ve already isolated you a lot.
There was time when I stayed home basically for two months, for a dv reason and it didn’t raise a red flag with anyone. And I have kids who go to school and it was STILL possible. If you don’t have a close support network then no one will question anything.
They really, really need to find the mother.
Something very off here. Even if the mother didn’t want to keep the baby and couldn’t go to the authorities because they are in the country illegally – the vast majority of mothers would surely make sure the baby was handed over to somebody safely. Not just left in a bag in the street. To happen three times seems very odd.

To me this says the mother is being held captive. The father may be keeping her against her will. Or could possible to another family member
