Police making arrests 'just to gather DNA samples'

Twins Taken Into Care After Mother Jokes They Have Ruined Her Body
A mother was left angry after her twin babies were taken into care by social workers.

The 36-year-old woman had joked that her body had been ruined after having a caesarean delivery.

She and her husband had spent over £38,000 on IVF treatment, and became pregnant after five rounds of treatment. The twins, a boy and girl, were delivered in December six weeks early. The couple, from Essex, are named as Mr and Mrs N to protect the identity of their family.

Social workers took the babies into care within weeks after hospital staff commented that the couple were struggling to look after them.

Nurses told social workers that the mother seemed to have resentments towards the children, and had joked about the effects of the birth on her body.

When the children were taken into care, the mother lost her temper, and officials have commented that she has ‘anger problems’ which could put her twins in danger.

Police arrested a senior vice president from Bieber’s label, Island Def Jam Records, James A. Roppo, 44, of Hoboken, N.J., saying he hindered their crowd-control efforts by not cooperating.

He was in custody Friday night, pending charges that could include criminal nuisance, endangering the welfare of a minor and obstructing government administration, Smith said.

“We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message,” Smith said. “By not cooperating with us we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk.”
