"So her child has died". And this is a reason to have a go at the UK reaction to the situation?

Perhaps the base cause is just that the mother chose to go and live in a country where conditions were less than ideal for bearing and bringing up children. A country which the (British) Foreign Office were advising that British citizens should avoid visiting, and where, if they did visit, no consular help could be supplied, because we no longer have a consulate in that country.

No matter what the bleeding hearts will tell you, it is the mother who should accept responsibility for the outcome of her actions, sad though that outcome may be.
