Foreign adoption under police escort

2017-12-25

(Avail. Also in English.)

Two days before Christmas Eve, 22 December 2017, Adam Krupi?ski, a Polish citizen at the age of 11, was taken to the airport in a police convoy and expelled from Poland for foreign adoption, probably to Italy, in a flagrant violation of Art. 52 of the Polish Constitution and art. 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The child objected to the previous attempt of his foreign adoption, saying that he would rather kill himself than go abroad and leave his beloved grandmother, mother and siblings. His family was not informed about the adoption proceedings in court or about the expulsion of a child from his homeland.

The criminal act of the Polish police and family court in Wroclaw was deliberately committed a few days after the family of Adam Krupi?ski filed an application to the Polish court for protection of the child's stay in Poland and for the return of the child to the family in Poland. The child was unlawfully expelled from Poland the day after the European Court of Human Rights registered his case and demanded judicial documents concerning the child from Poland. Documents have not been made available to the European Court of Human Rights. The day of expulsion of the child from his homeland, Poland, was the day of the beginning of the holiday week at the Registry of the Human Rights Tribunal. The perpetrators of the removal have received more than a week from the Polish court and police to do whatever they wish with the child. Using the police to force a child to enter the plane is a crime against the child, violation of human rights and evidence of child's opposition to foreign adoption. (A Wroclaw policeman answered questions about the child's fate by phone.)

Adam Krupi?ski's family was informed by the witness that shortly before the removal of a child from Poland his appearance changed significantly, that the child's hair was dyed. The family also received information that the child had recently undergone an invasive medical examination including blood tests without a need. This information and the Christmas period selected for the expulsion of a child from Poland give grounds to expect that the health or life of a child may be in serious danger. The circumstances of the rush, the secrecy of the proceedings and the holiday date of expelling a child from Poland do not allow to rule out that the child may be used in a criminal manner.

The child was isolated from the Polish family for more than 5 weeks before expelling him from Poland to 22 December 2017. He did not have the opportunity to see his family before being expelled from Poland by force.

Adam Krupi?ski was forced to leave all his belongings in his room in his grandmother's flat in Wroc?aw, where he lived under her protection until he was transferred to a professional foster family in Wroc?aw in 2014. Although he lived in a foster family in Wroclaw, he considered his grandmother's apartment to be his home and visited it very often, at least every other week. Adam's grandmother was his legal guardian from birth and for most of his life because his mother was not an adult at the time of his birth. When my grandmother became seriously ill, Adam was temporarily required professional foster care. The mother, who has a very small flat, applied for full parental authority over him. They contacted each week. Adam visited his mother and young siblings.

The first attempt, brutal and unexpected for Grandma Adam and for the rest of the child's family, to be adopted for foreign adoption against his will, was made in 2015. After an unsuccessful attempt to issue foreigners against his will and needs, the Polish court deprived Adam of his current reliable legal guardian and appointed a worker of the Adoption Agency, Katarzyna B?ocka-Ostapiuk, as the new guardian. In addition, the court removed him from his foster family and placed him in a children's shelter when he began to protest against the prospect of foreign adoption.

In November 2017, the child informed his grandmother that his guardian had found "parents" for him. At that time, my grandmother did not expect any adoption proceedings regarding her grandson, because he did not want to be adopted and because he enjoyed family ties with her, mother and siblings. It was not until the first week of December 2017 that my grandmother began to suspect that adoption proceedings had been initiated or even completed under a previously agreed arrangement. The new legal guardian of Adam refused to inform her about his legal situation.

In this situation, grandmother immediately, on December 18, 2017, applied for admission of her participation in the adoption proceedings and for hearing witnesses' testimony as evidence in the adoption proceedings. She went to court and demanded explanations. Unfortunately, no explanation was given. The court refused even to inform her about the file and the state of the case.

On 19 December 2017, grandmother was informed by a Polish state television journalist (TVP) who was interested in Adam's case that the District Court for Wroc?aw-?ródmie?cie, without her knowledge, decided that her grandson would be forced to be adopted by the unknown in a few days. people probably coming from Italy, and that December 21, 2017. A farewell meeting for her grandson and her will take place.

The expulsion of Adam Krupi?ski from Polish violence should be considered a deliberate abduction of a child. As my grandmother noticed, it was not possible to find a lawyer and public support because of the time taken to act against her family at Christmas. For more than 5 weeks, the family did not have contact or even a sign of the child's life, she was misled by the promises of a close encounter. Although grandmother and her grandson had an unlimited right to maintain contact, and additionally they had private court meetings guaranteed in the grandmother's apartment twice a month, which should be organized for them and supported by officials, grandmother did not get a chance to visit her grandson before expelling him from Poland . Grandma considers this a inhumane treatment of the child and her person, for torture. She applied for protection measures to the European Court of Human Rights.

A farewell meeting cruelly announced to her on December 19, 207, scheduled for December 21, 2017, did not take place. Grandma did not know until December 23, 2017 whether her child is still in Poland.

Grandmother Adam Krupi?ski, Mrs Teresa Trzci?ska, and the Association for Free Society supporting her organization, access to court files concerning adoption proceedings was denied. Both the grandmother and the organization could not obtain information about the court's decision on the temporary protection of a child staying in Poland, which grandma demanded before expelling a child from Poland. The Polish court has been informed about the allegations made before the European Court of Human Rights.

On December 21, 2017, the grandmother informed the prosecutor (District Prosecutor's Office for Wroc?aw Krzyki-Zachód, Powsta?ców ?l?skich 161, 53-138 Wroc?aw, e-mail: krzyki-zachod_wroclaw.po.gov.pl) about the illegal judicial issue of a child with Polish. The prosecutor stated twice, on December 21 and 22, that her grandmother would not be treated as a party to the expulsion proceedings, and therefore she would not have the right to inspect the files.

The organization and Mrs. Teresa Trzci?ska informed Polish court officials that the refusal of Mrs Teresa Trzci?ska's access to files concerning her grandchild violates the obligation of the Republic of Poland to cooperate with the Tribunal. One of the court clerks, the president of the court of second instance in Wroc?aw, noted that the European Court of Human Rights can not do anything. (The President of the Court of Appeals in Wroc?aw Konrad Wytrykowski pointed out that the European Court of Human Rights can only award damages.)
