Boy placed in foster care after mum refused to buy him an ice cream

Quote:

A judge has blasted a social worker and ordered a boy to be returned to his mother, after the child was taken away because the woman refused to buy him an ice cream. The social worker stated in a 44-page application, the mother was failing to meet the now eight-year-old’s “emotional needs” by not allowing the boy his treat one time, and not giving him the haircut he wanted. Despite the lengthy witness statement, Justice Mostyn on Wednesday ruled those claims were “utterly insubstantial” and “obviously inconsequential”.

Reading between the lines, there may have been some real issues, but it seems that the social worker was not able to clearly articulate them.
