Last November I reported the experience of Carl and Katy Brown who had fled to France for fear that their first child would be seized at birth by the social workers of Mid-Bedfordshire. When, shortly after giving birth in a French hospital, Katy returned to her room after a shower, covered in nothing but a towel, she was horrified to find it filled with 10 French policemen. They showed her a note from Interpol containing luridly inaccurate claims from British social workers that she posed a serious threat to her child’s safety. Without any order from a court, the baby was already gone. As I reported later in February, only thanks to a robust French judge and supportive French social workers, was the family finally reunited. Carl and Katy collected their daughter from an orphanage, in a room full of other babies in cots, where she had been for the first three months of her life. They have since moved to another part of France and all is well.
