In 2016, when the UK magistrate Richard Page was dismissed from his post in the judiciary for merely saying he believed children were better off with a mother and father, ''The Guardian'' reported the case as "Magistrate sacked over religious opposition to same-sex couples adopting". This was not true. Page's opinion was based on the best interests of the children and their welfare, not on a mere religious prohibition. Page's view is supported by the best available scientific evidence i.e. the Regnerus Report. Within a few months of Page's dismissal, in 2017, a pair of lesbians, Deborah and “wife” Jennifer Harrison, were convicted of starving a child and hitting her with a hammer. Very soon afterward, a baby girl named Elsie was murdered by her homosexual adoptive "father" Matthew Scully-Hicks. ''The Guardian'' did not connect the three cases.<ref>theguardian.com, 10 March 2016</ref><ref>https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3660471/mum-lover-jailed-abuse-starving-daughter/</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/nov/06/matthew-scully-hicks-guilty-of-murdering-adopted-daughter</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/nov/07/matthew-scully-hicks-jailed-for-life-daughter-elsie</ref>
