Mum of abducted boy: ‘We are just being sent from pillar to post’

Standing outside the Egyptian embassy, Norma Heeney looked like she couldn’t take anymore: “Enough is enough,” she said.

It’s four years now since Norma had her son, Faris, at home with her in Clonsilla in West Dublin.

In July 2009, her ex-partner’s family abducted the then two-year-old Faris, dressing him up as a girl and using a cousin’s passport to get him to Egypt.
