A teenage mother will today resume the battle to keep her newborn baby after social workers made a second attempt to remove him from her care.
The mother, known as G, spent the night in hospital with her son under close supervision after magistrates yesterday failed to reach a verdict on whether the boy should be placed with foster parents.
The 18-year-old was reunited with her baby on Wednesday after the dramatic intervention of a High Court judge. In an extraordinary ruling, the judge ordered that the baby boy born in the early hours of Wednesday morning and removed by social workers should be returned immediately.
