Mary Kent's story (1/2)-daughter taken away while on holiday

[JimWatt]

The Government of Gibraltar is most certainly NOT in the business of kidnapping children.

As a taxpayer I object to my money being spent in looking after irresponible tourists children. However someone has to and the well being of the child is paramount.

The authorities do not take this sort of action without having good reasons. If you think otherwise, I suggest you contact your local MP who would be able to do somehing.

Messages and videos on youtube are clearly not going to help.

Mary is my sister, and I do not know all the details, but there is no reason why Megan should still be over there.Our mother has spent thousands of pounds going to Gibraltar in order to gain custody of Megan. The British authorities O.K.'d it months ago. My mother has to ask permission to visit her, and when she does she sees a withdrawn,scared girl. SURELY if the Social services after a year of investigating the family, decided there is no threat, Megan should be sent home.

My mother is a very intelligent woman, a brilliant mother and has an amazing love for nature and people alike until this happened.

My mum now suffers post traumatic stress and a black hole in her heart, what happened to her (and my family and i) has torn her to pieces and has left only the shadow of the woman she used to be.

i havnt seen my little sister for 3 and a half years.

Kidnapping is a dependent on your point of view.

I would like to congratulate you on on a great hard hitting journalistic piece. I however think your title is at best sensationalist and at worst defamatory and slanderous to the relevant authorities. If you are quoting what she said at least put it in " " quote marks. Clearly no one has been kidnapped as she goes on to admit that her child was taken into care.

I think she has a drink problem.

No, Kidnapping is a criminal activity.

Protecting children is not a crime, it is what responsible Governments do.

i am her son and the little girl is my 10 year old little sister taken away at 7 years old.

protecting a child that doesnt need to be protected is KIDNAPPING.

[surferchrishotmail]

i am this womans son and older brother to the little girl.

i am going to say this very clearly:

protecting a girl that doesnt need to be protected is KIDNAPPING.

This is terrifying.
