Det Ch Insp Gemma Anacora, from Hampshire Constabulary, said police automatically become involved when a case was referred as a child safeguarding issue.<\/p>\n

She said: “I do sympathise, it must be a very difficult situation, however we do follow procedures, so her arrest was necessary for us to obtain evidence by questioning and to safeguard the child through bail conditions.”<\/p>\n

Independent child protection researcher Dr Bernard Gallagher, from the University of Huddersfield, said it was an “appropriate expectation” for agencies to intervene when child abuse was suspected.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes they make mistakes and maybe they are acting too drastically or too quickly, but it\u2019s a very difficult balance to strike,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ms Thapa said she had received a verbal apology from a doctor at the hospital.<\/p>\n

She is working with local campaign group Basingstoke Unites Against Racism on an official complaint.<\/p>\n

In a statement it said: “We are committed to addressing all concerns within the BAME community. This includes collaborating with external organisations, as we did in this case, to ensure comprehensive support.”<\/p>\n

Ms Thapa said: “I am going through this situation that was unacceptable and I don’t want others to,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want anyone to be separated from their baby like I was.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
