Father gives up right to care for son

A BRITISH schoolboy who faced being forced by a High Court order to live with the father he said he hates can continue to live with his mother, it was revealed yesterday.

Announcing the latest decision in long-running litigation over the fate of the boy, now aged 12, a judge described it as an “extraordinary case”.

In a written ruling yesterday, Judge Clifford Bellamy, sitting as a deputy judge of the High Court, said that on July 21 an order was made “by consent of all parties that the boy should continue to live with his mother”.
