Why Are Children Removed From Their Mothers? - A Conversation With Cherie Parnell - Part 1

This is part 1 of a 2 part video with Cherie Parnell. Cherie is a former Barrister. She founded BEAM after years of working in the family law courts. She represented mothers who very often would lose their children to the care system. Leaving them with a mere handshake and expression of regret at the end was simply not good enough. Knowing that many of these mothers had often suffered abuse and trauma in their lives was difficult to reconcile with the knowledge that there was no support group available for them. Cherie was aware they would leave court having been through a process that is often traumatic, with little or no support.
So after much struggle and prayer, Cherie decided to leave the Bar, take a leap of faith and start a local group, which she called BEAM.
In Part 1 of the interview the following matters are discussed:
- Cherie's works as a Barrister
- The work of local authorities and social workers in care cases.
- How middle class and professionals are treated when it comes to child neglect/abuse.
- How and why children are removed from their mothers.
The opinions expressed in this video are entirely, and solely the opinions of the participants.
