Foster child to be taken away because Christian couple refuse to teach him about homosexuality


www.dailymail.co.uk
They are devoted foster parents with an unblemished record of caring for almost 30 vulnerable children.

But Vincent and Pauline Matherick will this week have their latest foster son taken away because they have refused to sign new sexual equality regulations.
To do so, they claim, would force them to promote homosexuality and go against their Christian faith.

The 11-year-old boy, who has been in their care for two years, will be placed in a council hostel this week and the Mathericks will no longer be given children to look after.

Wow, got a chip on your shoulder?

re OP:
Ridiculous story, especially given their record. Foster kids shouldn't have to be brought up with morality dictated by the govt. They should try to have as normal a life as anybody else, and if the cards you are dealt are those guys as your parents, then thats your family and your slice of life.

If the kid complained about it, then that might be another issue. Responsible parents should teach their children if they ask and give them the family's opinions, and allow the kid to make up their own mind.

In this case the family doesn't believe it is necessary to bring up the subject, nor does it believe that they should have to regurgitate the governments position. And that, I think, is alright - as long as they aren't promoting hatred.

Good points Flyer,
I would try to prosecute the council if this happened to me,
they are just trying to control everything these days-surely its up to parents to teach their kids what they believe to be appropriate.

Yes. Flyer has an excellent point.

If you think it can't be done, see this thread

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Where the plaintiff not only won, but the Gub has been ordered to pay restitution to the plaintiff.
The Gub was in clear violation of it's own laws.
Apparently, it can be done.

Is there now a Dept. of Morality in London?
