They gave them up, short-term, voluntarily. But then they couldn't get them back
Article Abstract:
Denise and Graeme Holland are soon to appeal against prison sentences imposed recently for abducting two of their own children from foster parents. Denise Holland suffered from periods of depression, and the couple agreed to have the two older children placed with foster parents when she became pregnant with their third child. They were assured that the children would be returned when she felt ready to cope with them, but social workers later attempted to have the two children adopted. The couple were not consulted about important decisions regarding their children, and they felt very excluded. This prompted them to attempt to flee the country with their children.

Young poets' society
Article Abstract:
Three children from Kell Bank Church of England state school near Ripon, England, have recently won top poetry awards in the National Trust centenary competition, while another pupil was won a WH Smith and another a 'Times Educational Supplement' poetry award. This is a great achievement for a school which has only 19 pupils. They gain their inspiration from the extremely artistic atmosphere created by head teacher Sheila Wilkins, who has specifically studied how children should be taught to respond to art.

Short life and fast death of an exile from society
Article Abstract:
Sally-Anne Cattell, 14, died when she was driving a stolen car which went out of control. She was an affectionate child but lived at St John's Children's Home in Erdington, Birmingham, England from the age of 12 when she became disruptive and wild at school. Her parents split up before she started secondary school in Sept, 1989. She bullied other children, so she was transferred to another school and moved to live with her father. This meant leaving her friends and sisters, and Sally lost her lifeline.
