That was my feeling too - that he'd been trying to stop the baby's head 
being slammed up.

Perhaps someone in the local area might offer some support, in order to 
find out?  I'm most disturbed by the nurse refusing to stop her 
activities.  He was the father, and she had no right to give treatment 
without consent.  Which raises the other serious concern - the apparent 
silence, both in the situation, and the report, of the mother.

Of course, it could be exactly as it is written to suggest - an abusive 
or over-controlling husband over-riding the perfectly reasonable 
treatment by a nurse, and opposing the mother's view upon it.

Sadly, however, the comment about the Mum being 'medicated' to the point 
of needing this 'support', doesn't fill me with confidence that this is 
the case.

Although it was interesting to find that another Reading, is in another 
county named Berks!
