[super jumbe]

A woman in Newcastle has had a staggering 17 children removed from her and taken into care over a 20 year period.

The mum, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been nearly permanently pregnant over the last two decades had her children taken away by Newcastle City Council - who said there was ?nothing particularly unusual? about its approach to the issue.

The council is working with the charity Barnado?s on the Pause project to reduce the number of women who have to give up child after child.

A Newcastle City Council spokeswoman said: ?Each case is dealt with according to the individual circumstances of the family.?

Women who have to give up multiple children are usually vulnerable, often due to abuse, addiction or because of mental health problems.

The council spokeswoman added: "The decision to remove a child is made on a case by case basis and efforts are made to support children to remain with their family where this is appropriate.

17 children in 20 years %+11$+3= 13, so every 13 months a child is born I wonder who keeps the child benefits?

Yeah gotta think of the money involved, the mother certainly doesn't deserve any thought of help or assistance no matter what her circumstances were. For all we know she could have been raped constantly for the last 20 years, but the emphasis really should be on the child benefit shouldn't it......

Oh yeah I have my "be a cking utter barsteward to everyone" head on today
