Some cool shit happening in the uk rn
user
I live nearby and I’d love for hasan to talk about this. The reason for it happening initially(kids being taken) seems to be sus and the racism I’ve seen after makes me sick.

I read it was due to kids being taken from a family after a baby was dropped from a window when the parents weren't around. They couldn't explain how it happened and also didn't bring the baby in until the next day.

I’ve only seen people in comments say it was dropped out a window. Not in articles or anywhere official. Unless you can link something my understanding is the kids were left alone in April and the baby was dropped but seemed fine and the parents didn’t know until the next day when there was swelling. And for some reason they came and took the kids the other day. By force.

I can't speak to the window incident no, but it is confirmed it was dropped and wasn't taken in until the next day. The reason they took them the other day was the parents were going to take the kids out of the country even though there seemed to still be an active investigation. Then when social services showed up, they were attacked, prompting police to respond who were also attacked. The video shared around of the kids being taken is very manipulative imo without providing any context to the situation. Obviously it's a difficult situation where the Roma people feel persecuted while the other side feels like they are just trying to protect the kids. I'm sure the latter probably saw the trip as a possible attempt to flee and reacted as such, right or wrong.

I mean they were afraid their kids would get taken so they wanted to leave and then the kids were taken, idk man, it’s just so hard when it comes to these things. I have family (kids with a white British mother) that were taken into care and I wish they had been taken sooner but now they have trauma they’ll remember forever most likely.
