Download Having children in care 'doesn't make you a bad person'

5 Live's Naga Munchetty has been speaking to Col, Marie and Thelma (not their real names), who have 12 children in the care system. They've been helped by projects run by Pause charity which works with women who have had multiple children taken away. The women agree to take a long-acting contraceptive and get intensive help for their own problems.
