MY heart goes out to the family of baby Thea, "Mum tells of 'living hell' after baby died" August 3.

My younger brother was born in a private nursing home with the cord twice round his neck thereby starving part of his brain of oxygen.

He is now 71, held a job for 25 years despite his learning difficulties.

My late mother asked a close friend 'why me' her answer was ' God only sends them where they are loved '

I cannot believe that this kind of error is still happening and quite agree that national practices should be changed forthwith.

I am aware this is no consolation to Thea's family but felt I should share this information.
