My beautiful son Adam is a British Citizen who is now 14 years old. He was kidnapped at the age of 10 during a routine visit to Qatar to visit his late fathers relatives. Since then I have been fighting to get him back. Adam was taken by his uncle, A Qatari Police officer and hidden for 8 weeks. We immediately filed a kidnapping case against him but the police said it was a family matter and took no action. For 8 weeks I searched for my son, I cannot describe the agony of losing him. The uncle had no legal right to keep Adam. Adam and I had not spent a day apart from the day he was born. 8 weeks later in a 3 minute hearing I lost custody of my beautiful son to his 80 year old grandmother, a woman who is sick and incapable of looking after him. I saw my son for the first time 3 months after he was abducted. He hugged me for two hours sobbing, I felt like my heart had been ripped out. When he was first abducted, he was not allowed to go to school for 9 months and was kept indoors incase he tried to escape. He was isolated, not allowed to talk to any of his family or friends. I fought to get visitation rights but due to the uncle being a police officer and having connections in the court, i received the harshest custody agreement possible. I could only see Adam locked in a small room with no windows and no furniture and never take him outside. We have endured this for four years. Adam is desperate to come home and is now at breaking point. He has suffered so much and lost four years of his childhood. The daily abuse and neglect he is suffering is beyond comprehension. We need your support to bring him home. He is an innocent little boy who needs me his mum. I miss him so much it is hard to bare. Please held us BRING ADAM HOME.
