The Police used this opportunity to thank all those who helped, engaged themselves and shared information.
Did the mother break the law?
On Monday evening Polsat News informed, that the latest ruling of the family court in Belgium gave custody to father. In light of this detail, it would be the mother who broke the law.
According to Radio Gdansk, the Procurent’s office in Gdansk requested the authorities in Antwerp to assure the safety of the child. At the same time, they requested to verify the legal state and who has custody over the 10-year-old.
The saddest part of this story, however, is the child’s suffering. The parents cannot get into an agreement and the young one suffers most.

It was the fourth use of the Child Alert system in Poland. It was in use twice in 2015 and once in the previous year.
