Branded “Too Stupid To Marry & To Be A Parent”

Posted by VickyC on November 10th, 2009


September 2009 – Young couple Kerry Robertson, 17 and Mark McDougall, 25 had planned their wedding. The chuch was booked, the wedding rings and dress had been purchased and the reception was organised. But 48 hours before they were due to say “I do”, social services made the couple cancel their wedding, claiming that Miss Robertson “did not understand the implications of getting married”. The young bride, who was 5 months pregnant at the time, was absolutely stunned when social workers arrived at her home claiming that the marriage was illegal under Scotish law because Miss Robertson lacked the mental capacity, due to leaning difficulties, to understand what the constitution of marriage is really about.
The young couple tried to tell the social workers that they love eachother and did not want to have a child out of wedlock – but their pleas fell on deaf ears. Subsequently, the social workers succeeded in preventing the couple from getting married.
But sadly the misfortune for Miss Robertson and Mr McDougal did not end there.
November 2009 – In the last few days, social workers have threatened to take their baby away from the young couple when he is born, as Miss Robertson is apparently unfit to look after her unborn child. It is unclear of the nature of Miss Robertson’s learning difficulties, but in my opinion, this young lady is already more of a parent when compared to other underage mothers. The couple had already chosen a name for their son – Ben, and have brought clothes for him.
Her fiance has said that, although she is not an academic person, she can read and write – allbeit not very well, but she was attending college to catch up with her schooling; she is “nowhere near as stupid as social services are making out”. He admitted that he was not even aware that she had learning difficulties of any kind until 2 months into their relationship.
The cheif executive for Enable Scotland, a charity for people with learning difficulties,  said “people with learning disabilities do not have loving disabilities”.
The couple have since fled Scotland and are believed to be living somewhere overseas to protect their unborn child and to keep their family together. They had offered to attend parenting classes and have full support from their families and friends.
With the number of stories about neglectful parents, and young mothers popping out more babies to get more government handouts, you would think that a young couple who are trying to create a proper, loving family environment for their unborn baby would be encouraged and receive help from the local authorities. But instead they are being treated extremely unfairly by these barbaric bureaucrats. I’m not sure what is more infuriating – the fact that Miss Robertson is not even allowed to prove the fact that she has the capacity to be a good mother, or that the baby’s father isn’t even considered. Why is Mr McDougall not being allowed custody?  And the social workers – they will quite happily leave children with “parents” who are feral, underage, alcoholics and/or benefit cheats in homes that have a “New Daddy” every weekend, while this poor young lady isn’t even given a chance. IQ has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to love. The “Big Brother Knows Best” philosophy of today’s Britain, is truely horrifying. This is yet another example of “Common Purpose” at work. The fact that a few paper-pushers in a office somewhere can tick a few boxes in an attempt to decide the fate of a young lady who they deem unfit to parent is absolutely ridiculous. It sounds like Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. It’s like they are fleeing from the Gestapo. This girl is not mentally insane – they were just easy targets. Social services have to appear as if they’re busy doing something, even if it means that they are ruining this couple’s life.
This poor young couple have to flee their home while the rapists and killers are given new identities and money to go back out to roam the world freely. Unfortunately, for this couple, the fact that they are running away will probably be used against them in court. I sincerely wish Kerry, Mark and Ben the best of luck, and I hope that they can keep their location secret for as long as possible.
