Angela Wileman and sons win Hague Convention Case in Ireland
This morning in the Dublin High Court Angela Wileman won her Hague Convention case in Dublin. Devon County Council's case to remove her son Lucas (6) from her was struck out.
John Hemming MP said "I am pleased for this result. Angela, Lucas and Marco can now get on with their lives in Ireland. Lucas is doing well at school and I am quiet surprised at the lengths to which Devon went to try to "extradite" a 6 year old boy from Ireland to put him in Foster Care in England."
"I have asked Devon to do an investigation into what was done in Devon. I do not think this is something driven at a cabinet member level. These decisions were made by practitioners. We do, however, need an inquiry in Devon into what was done, why it was done and how much it cost. We also need an English inquiry into how such an absurd process was allowed to continue."
