from todays Telegraph ...

She did her homework on the internet, not least through the Forced Adoption website run by Ian Josephs, a businessman living in the south of France, where she read many stories similar to her own. She discovered that a possible escape route was Northern Cyprus, which has no extradition agreement with the UK.

Palio your comment assumes that the child's parents are criminals.

Much as apc assumes they have done no wrong and blames everything on the 'social services' (who, let's face it - are damned if they do and damned if they don't act). Yet the father's own parents seem to have had the most influence on this child being kept away from its parents.

Only one side of the story in the article. I would reserve judgement. Also I found it astonishing that these parents seem to have 'given up' on the child in question - the mother allegedly having said:

Now, after a month, set up in a spacious villa, surrounded with friends, they cannot believe their good fortune. A scan in the efficient local hospital confirms that they can expect the birth of a healthy son. As they begin to build a new life, Carol told me last week: “We feel we have escaped from hell into heaven. The only thing that matters to us is that we have managed to protect our baby and future children from an outrageous, heartless business, built around treating children as a commodity.

Not one word there about the child they have 'lost'.
