Summary

This story is inspired by one example from a file of family tragedies compiled by the author. It tells of a young mother of three children whose baby seems to have become ill quite suddenly. The mother and father take the infant to hospital where it is found to have a bone fracture in the leg. It is then assumed by medical and social services that the parents have caused this injury. Once in progress, the machinery of state is unstoppable. By the time it is discovered that the baby suffered from a rare, but not unknown, birth injury a procedure of removal of all the children for enforced adoption has been approved.
