Baby with no name is up for adoption

Court order takes baby with no name from parents

British family court judge Patricia Lynch found that a baby that had been taken from her parents’ care when she was 31 days old due to concerns about her safety should be placed for adoption. The four-month-old was without a name and social services staff had registered her birth with “just her surname” and had chosen a name for use on a day-to-day basis.

The judge decided the fact that the parents had not been interested to register a baby’s name as well as the father’s sexual assault of another child was enough to signify that the little girl would be at “risk of sexual harm” if she stayed with her birth parents.

The child is now for adoption after three months of foster care after being taken from her parents during the summer.
