Was the documentary banned in order to protect the CPS or to protect the young mother?

A high court judge has stopped the BBC airing a TV programme about an 18-year-old mother with an IQ of 63 whose daughter was taken away for adoption, ruling that it would be a "massive invasion" of the woman's privacy and "undermine her dignity as a human being".

This is laughable! The CPS (Child Protection Service) is responsible for the massive intrusion of the teenagers privacy, not the BBC. The CPS who stole this young woman's two-year old daughter is responsible for 'undermining her dignity as a human being', not the BBC.

The programme was planned as part of a five-day documentary series of individual stories portraying different aspects of adoption and fostering. T's story was intended to inform the public about the concept of "concurrent planning" - placing a child with foster parents with the possibility of adoption while at the same time assessing the mother's suitability to go on parenting the child .

Naturally the CPS doesn't want light shed on the brutal practice of sepating mother and child while assessing the mother's fitness to be mother. The judge decision to not allow BBC to air the documentary is for the protection of the CPS, not the young mother nor the child.
