Florida couple forced adopted son to live inside ‘box’ in garage: cops

A Florida couple was arrested for allegedly forcing their adopted teen son to live in a small locked structure inside the garage of their home for several years, police said.

The horrifying conditions endured by the 13-year-old boy were uncovered by authorities after the teen was reported missing from the family’s Jupiter home on Jan. 30, according to cops.

A detective investigating the missing-persons case spotted the 8-by-8-foot structure with a deadbolt lock and a light switch on the exterior wall, according to the Jupiter Police Department.

Inside the box was a bucket, a mattress and a camera.

The mother, Tracy Ferriter, claimed to the detective the space was used as an office and for storage, police said.

€225,000 awarded to man born in mother and baby home from estranged birth mother’s estate

A MAN believed to have been born in a mother and baby home has been awarded €225,000 out of the estate of his estranged birth mother.

His case was against his mother’s niece in her capacity as executor of the estate.

Section 117 asks the court to look at how a testator ought to have provided for his or her child in a will.

Astrid Krag on explosion in adoptions: 'We talk about cases where the parents are bad'

The Minister of Social Affairs is, as she herself puts it, on the side of the children.

The number of children being adopted away from their parents withoutconsent - that is, by force fromthe authorities - has exploded in a few years, and that is basically good, says Astrid Krag (S).

- The figures show that it may well be that we in the legislation had the opportunity to forcibly adopt, but that it largely did not apply.

That is, there were children who would have benefited from an adoption away - from getting a new one,stable and lasting family - who have not got it, saysthe Minister in an interview with P1 Morgen.

The interview takes place after Zetland has uncovered how the high numbers coincide with pregnant women fleeing the country to avoid their child being adopted away. But first and foremost, they fall in line with a political ambition.

Statement on urgency to counter anti-child rights movements in Europe

During a trilateral meeting European Commission Vice-President Šuica, Council of Europe Human Rights Commissioner Mijatovi? and Eurochild President Coleiro-Preca, expressed their deep concern about the impacts of the anti-child rights movements on children and civil society. Evidence was provided by Eurochild’s President, staff and children from Eurochild members, the National Network for Children in Bulgaria and the Hungarian Child Rights Coalition.

European Commission Vice-President Šuica and Council of Europe Human Rights Commissioner Mijatovi? expressed their solidarity and strong support for children’s rights and for Eurochild members and children experiencing threats and attacks when advocating for children’s rights.

Attacks on human rights and human rights defenders – including those upholding and defending children’s rights – are not new. Eurochild, its members and other children’s rights organisations have been voicing concerns about anti-child rights movements in several countries across Europe.[1] Such movements have threatened many NGOs and silenced them due to fear of sanctions.

Children’s rights activists have been attacked in public and on social media. In response, mechanisms [2] at EU level, such as ProtectDefenders.eu, which is led by a consortium of human rights organisations and funded by the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights, provide protection for human rights defenders at risk for their activities worldwide. However, there are no mechanisms with a specific focus on children’s rights to monitor and counteract anti-child rights movements in Europe, and their harmful rhetoric and actions, despite the growing impact on child human rights defenders.

Vice President Šuica recalled that civil society is vital for a healthy democracy and a society where people can effectively enjoy their rights. She emphasised that we need a strong and independent civil society to foster an open and pluralist space for debate and citizens’ participation to the democratic life of the EU, and to support victims of fundamental rights violations, especially children.

Adoptions of children: Parliament must validate a bill to facilitate the process

Open adoption to unmarried couples or even lower the minimum age required for parents. These are the objectives defended by the LREM bill that Parliament is preparing to approve definitively this Tuesday, by a final vote of the deputies. The National Assembly, which has the last word, must validate at the end of the day the proposal of MP Monique Limon, which dates back to mid-2020 and is part of a series of societal markers at the end of Emmanuel Macron's five -year term. .

Flagship measure, the opening of full adoption to PACS couples or cohabitants must put an end to "discrimination relating to the rules of union or homoparenthood ", considers Coralie Dubost (LREM). Currently, only one member of the couple can adopt the child. The bill also lowers the minimum age required for each adopter, from 28 to 26 years. And the minimum duration of community life is reduced from two to one year. One or other of these conditions is required to apply for accreditation.

The text also aims to improve the functioning of family councils, supervisory bodies of the wards of the State in the departments. The family council will only include one member selected for his skills in the medical, psychological or social field, instead of two child protection experts.

Discussions were lively on a provision which will open up the possibility, for couples of women who have had recourse to medically assisted procreation (PMA) abroad and since separated, to the woman who has not given birth to adopt the child despite the opposition of the mother. This "tinkering" that can lead to "forced adoptions", according to the right, has displeased even the MoDem, an ally of LREM.
