‘There was a lot of media coverage back in February of this unusual story of a British teenage boy who’d taken his parents to court to try to get back home to London from Ghana. His parents had tricked him into visiting Ghana in early 2024 where they’d left him, against his wishes, in a boarding school. They had been worried about his recent violent behaviour and getting involved in criminal activity, including theft of phones and possession of knives. At the date of the latest hearing in October this year, his parents were still opposed to his applications to come back to the UK. They believe he is only safe in Ghana.’
