What a pity I didn’t see this before I came to Brussels for the workshop on Cross Border Abduction! One of the report authors pointed out to me that the UK is way above everybody else’s statistics. In our view this is due to judges handing children to their abusive parents as a systemic pattern.

You may be familiar with our petition to Abolish Adoptions without Parental Consent: no 1707/2013. It was presented to PETI on 19 March and 11 November 2014 and affirmed by a Bulgarian mother whose daughter was adopted against her will and her presentation in January 2015:

In its wake I have recently filed an emergency petition on behalf of a Russian mother whose children were taken into care six months ago.

In its support is the petition with nearly 15,000 signatures on https://www.change.org/p/the-rt-hon-theresa-may-mp-return-whistleblowerkids-and-abusesurvivors-to-their-russian-family and the blog with background information: https://whistleblowerkids.wordpress.com/

What do you think you could do to get the UK Government to adapt to the EU Convention, Fundamental Charter and UN Child Rights?
