Yesterday I posted about the Italian woman who was forced into a C Section<\/a> because, according to British Child Services, she had suffered a mental breakdown. In my post, I said that I had heard similar stories about migrant women (not the forcible birth but the involvement of Child Services because their motherhood skills are questioned more often than their White counterparts). I had no data about the Italian woman in question so I did not feel comfortable speculating about her ethnicity. However, for the past 24 hours I have been monitoring a number of Italian news sites in the hopes that more info about the woman becomes available. English speaking media is behind its Italian counterpart in updating the development of this story. A moment ago I finally found what I had suspected. Via Repubblica<\/a> (translation from Italian mine):<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI want my daughter back, I am suffering like an animal. I was forced into a C-Section without my consent. The day of the forced delivery I thought they were moving me from one room to another while I kept saying I wanted to return to Italy. Then I was sedated and when I woke up, she was gone. She was taken away from me.<\/p>\n

Speaking like a wounded mother, Alessandra Panchieri, 35 years old, from Chainciano. She is the woman who suffers from bipolar disorder whose daughter was taken away in Essex, England. [\u2026]<\/p>\n

The baby\u2019s father, who is from Senegal<\/strong>, and an American relative of mine, Indra Armstrong, were both available to take care of the child but the British social services have ignored this. Why? Why did nobody help me?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And there you have it. The baby’s father, who was willing and available to take care of the child, is from Senegal.<\/p>\n

ETA: On Twitter, Rosa linked me to the court ruling<\/a>. As I had speculated<\/a>, turns out the father was an undocumented migrant as well<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Her mother is A. She is an Italian national. Her father is B who is a Senegalese national<\/strong>, he is currently living in Italy. His situation is unclear, as I understand it he travelled there under a student visa, at least on one version, and is an over-stayer. He certainly has no status in Italy<\/strong> and he is unable, as I understand it, as a result of his status, either to leave Italy at all , and is certainly not able to come to the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is what happens to children of color born from an undocumented parent. Given away like the spoils of the Empire, to decide their fate and future.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
