The unmarried couple disclosed that social welfare authorities had classified baby Danny as a “high-risk” child and allowed the parents to visit him once per week.“The court just went through the motions and passed the protection order,” Tsang said after the hearing.The father said they would not appeal against the court’s decision, but wished to take the child back within a year or two through passing the authorities’ assessments.
He criticised the court and the social welfare authorities for focusing only on whether Danny would receive recommended medical treatment, while neglecting the parents’ views on minimising invasive procedures where possible.AdvertisementSelect VoiceSelect Speed0.8x0.
