Haven't listened to the whole program, but even on the bare facts, I feel the services acted in the best interest of the child. Everyone's interest is secondary to the child's. Obviously the child had to be removed from the parents, we don't need any more Baby Ps. As it took 3 years to resolve in court, even with hindsight it is better that the child was part of a real family, rather than enduring foster care for the most important 3 years of its life. And now the child knows those people as its family, tearing him/her away from them would be very cruel. Unjust as it is, the biological parents are just strangers now.
I wonder why some sort of open adoption arrangement isn't possible. The biological parents could get to know their kid and spend time together, while staying part of the only family he/she knows. Four people (at least) love this child; it could only benefit him/her to know them all.
(if anyone knows the gender of the child, please let me know. I've twisted myself around with prepositions above
