Last week, Radio Prague reported about a case in which ten year old Honza had a nervous breakdown after his desperate father, who had not seen him for two years despite having visiting rights, picked him up at school, accompanied by a bailiff and a social worker. The case resulted in much discussion on whether it was right to take such a drastic step. It may have been within the law but were the child's feelings considered? A legitimate question which should be followed by another, what should the father have done instead? A judge had allowed him to see his son two years ago but the boy's mother prevented them from ever meeting and the courts then did nothing. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/rodina2.jpg?timestamp=1591475582 https://english.radio.cz/custody-battles-fathers-claim-discrimination-8078143 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
