Ian threatened Karen with this last night. But why would Sharon's baby be put in a foster home? There is much more chance that social services would agree to let Karen have the baby. She is his grandmother and can give a reasonably stable home. She has been a good mother to the other kids. I'm sure social services would rather the baby stayed in the family than be farmed out.
But Walford Social Services are controlled by the BBC
