Family judge orders drug addict mother to give up her 14 children

A judge has revealed that he has ordered 14 children from the same mother to be taken into care because of her addiction to crack cocaine and other drugs. Family court judge Nick Crichton spoke out to highlight the growing problem of drug addicts trying to bring up large families. The 14 children from one family in London were ordered into care by the judge amid fears for their safety. It is claimed the bill to look after the children is likely to exceed £2million. It costs an average of £25,000 to hear each court case of care proceedings. Judge Crichton said the case was not the worst. One of his colleagues in the Midlands dealt with a woman who has 15 children in the care of her extended family and local authority foster homes after becoming an addict. In another case, a heroin addict in Yorkshire had her first three children taken away, but then had seven more by at least three men. One by one they were taken away until she had lost all 10.
