Obelix Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Two children were placed in foster care because a social worker feared they would "not adapt to northern culture" in Yorkshire, a relative said. When the brother and sister from Hampshire were removed from their parents, an aunt from Huddersfield wanted to look after them. But they were put into care after a social worker "feared their southern accents would leave them isolated" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-14045195 IT really does make you wonder why they thought this was a good idea. I mean what did they think we did up here to young kids? Or do they think that the Yorkshiremen sketch is real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what did they think we did up here to young kids? Or do they think that the Yorkshiremen sketch is real? Is Huddersfield considered as being in South or West Yorkshire? If the latter I think the social workers concerns were well founded, there are no forms of abuse that the social worker could contemplate and a lifetime of suffering nosebleeds due to living in close proximity to Leeds would be an unnecessary risk to take with these poor children.

Mecky Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm in two mind about this story, is it a thinly veiled attack on the North or an obvious attack on the North? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is liberal about this action by the state? Do you even know what 'liberal' means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
