An American mom and dad have had both their children taken away from them by the State after scoring poorly on IQ tests.

The couple were required to take the intelligence tests after questions were raised over their parenting style.

They have now lost custody of both their older son and their second child.

A relative complained to authorities about Christopher's well‑being when he was a baby.

A child welfare report alleged the father had almost rolled over on the child while he was sleeping with the baby on the floor.

Another complaint made by Fabbrini's own father claimed he and his wife were acting as primary caregivers because he felt his daughter didn't have the "instincts to be a mother".

Ziegler scored 66 in the IQ test, Fabbrini 72, The Oregonian reported ‑ the IQ of the average person ranges from 90 to 110.

Ziegler receives financial aid through the US's Social Security programme due to a mental disability.
