Despicable!

Read this in the Sky News today and well, words failed me. Here is a family who genuinely want to care for a boy in need and instead of doing everything in their power to help make this happen, the powers that be were more engrossed in denouncing their responsibility over the child.
Not only do the two councils play ping-pong with the boy in regards over who will grant fostering care for the child, none of the councils even want to back the parents application for a Special Guardianship Order (SGO), which would allow them to make decisions for the boy, who has a major heart operation coming up.
Can't sign consent form, the boy can't have the operation, get it? Sad.
Where is the compassion? Lost in the paperwork I suppose? In the words of Daffy Duck, "you're despicable!"
Read the story and see if you don't shake your head in disbelief. The story can be found here...
