A two-year old boy has been taken from his parents and put up for adoption partly ‘because they smoke too much’, the Daily Mirror reports. The boy was found to be made ill by the levels of smoke, with the boy’s social worker describing his home as the smokiest they had ever seen. It was one reason among many, reports state.
The Daily Mail carries a warning from families claiming their daughters have suffered side effects from the HPV jab teenagers receive to prevent the development of cervical cancer.
