I have a question that is more of a comment and to which I do not expect an answer.

Once people have professionals like this in their life, do mothers in that situation - because in the main they would be mothers - assume that the presumption is against them and that they have to go into proving themselves in circumstances where they are already very vulnerable? I wonder about that and how they can be empowered in what must be a frightening and powerless experience. That is my final comment. I thank the Chair for indulging me.
