CAN'T HAPPEN HERE. COULDN'T HAPPEN IN ENGLAND EITHER.

Another of the almost daily avalanche of horror stories coming out of the UK:
A couple soon expecting their seventh child has had their fifth and sixth taken by social workers after warnings that the family needed to slim down their over weight kids or risk losing custody....

The family's 3- and 4-year-old have been moved into foster care, and STV reports the parents have been told "active steps" are being taken to remove the remaining children as well. ...

Experts contacted by STV warn that local authorities in the U.K., such as Dundee's City Council, which oversees the decision to remove the children, now treat obesity as an "abuse issue."...

The parents were ... ordered to send their children to dance and soccer lessons and provided paid supervisors that monitored the family and provided health direction. (World Net)

The bad news is coming out of England thick and fast - like some sort of evil satire.
