Disability does not preclude parental rights

Disability does not preclude parental rights - Opinion - The Boston Globe:
A LITTLE over two years ago now, state child welfare officials took an infant girl and placed her in foster care, saying the mother’s developmental disabilities made her an unfit parent. As first reported by the Associated Press, federal officials are now telling Massachusetts this mother has the right to prove she can care for her daughter — and the state has a duty to help her try.
