Thanks for linking to this, Karleen.
I found the story and the video clip chilling.
I will comment, but I will wait until my initial reactions die down.
As well as sadness for the mother and the baby, and fear that this
sort of thing is being replicated all over the place, I am stunned by
the smug *blindness* of a team of people who (I am sure) want the
very best for the people in their care, but who are unable to see
that they are doing so much harm not just to invidual mothers and
babies, but to a culture.
