WE have over the past few weeks been told of a couple who could not adopt a child because they were overweight, but who vetted the girl Leanne who gave birth to triplets eight months ago.

Her parenting skills are non existent, she feeds them on junk food and says she is too busy to cook proper food, she lives on state benefits and no one from social services have challenged her skills as a parent as she gave birth to them.

The fact that she had these poor children does not make her a good parent and the fact that the couple who were refused to adopt just because they were overweight does not make them bad parents, this country really has their priorities all wrong.
