Teenager Sues UK Parents For ‘Deportation’ To Africa


A 13-year-old boy has instituted a legal action against his parents, accusing them of “brutally” taking him overseas and enrolling him in a boarding school before abandoning him there.

According to report, the boy, whose identity is protected, contacted the British Consulate and a child welfare organization after his parents registered him at an African school before returning to the United Kingdom.

The parents “physically and emotionally abandoned” him due to concerns over his potential involvement in gangs in London, according to the boy’s legal team.

The boy, however, denied the accusation.

The boy’s lawyers at the hearing which began on Tuesday, requested a judge order his return to the UK, where he has lived since birth.

However, the boy’s father’s lawyers argued that the decision to send him abroad was a legitimate exercise of parental responsibility.

Deirdre Fottrell KC, representing the boy, stated that his parents’ actions were driven by the belief that there was no alternative way to address the perceived risks than by removing him from the country.

She added, “The steps that this boy, not yet 14, has taken to try and remedy the awful situation he finds himself in are extreme.”

Fottrell further stated, “There is clear evidence that he is being harmed emotionally, psychologically, and possibly physically in the environment in which he has been placed,” describing the parents’ decision to leave him in such a situation as “extraordinary.”

She emphasized that the boy’s claim of not being involved in any gang was “categorical,” and the risks his parents feared—such as being stabbed or shot—were not a likely outcome should he return home.

The boy was described in court as “very polite and articulate,” with a passion for football and cooking.

According to Fottrell, he was enrolled in a school abroad without warning or consultation with him, under the pretence of caring for an ill relative. Upon arrival, his parents left him there.

Fottrell described the act as “stark and quite brutal,” citing the boy’s reports of “inadequate” food and tuition, as well as mistreatment. She also highlighted that the boy was “patently extremely unhappy” in Africa, finding the experience “humiliating” and stating that his English friends mocked him for being “deported."

In addition, Fottrell mentioned that the boy’s mother admitted to physically chastising and abusing him while in the UK. The boy is reportedly “upset, confused, and distressed despite acknowledging his imperfections.”

Judge Mr. Justice Hayden, during the hearing, pointed out that the boy was subjected to “incredibly restrictive” measures in the UK, such as having his location monitored through his phone, which he suggested would be “pretty unbearable for most 14-year-old boys and girls.”

Rebecca Foulkes, representing the boy’s father, mentioned that social workers had reported issues in managing the boy’s behaviour before he left the UK.

They noted instances of physical aggression from the mother when trying to manage his behaviour.

Foulkes also shared that the boy had frequently been late to class, stayed out late, and had been suspected of engaging in criminal activities.

The school had concerns about his social vulnerability and had observed him with expensive clothes and phones, while his phone contained pictures of knives and friends holding knives.

Foulkes stated that from the father’s perspective, there had been a clear deterioration in the boy’s behaviour, leaning toward criminal activities.

She argued that the boy’s parents had “real concerns about where he was and who he was with.”

Foulkes further stated that, in her view, “high-quality care and education in a boundary setting” was available in Africa, where the risks the boy faced in the UK were not present. She believed that the boy’s potential would be wasted if he were to return to the UK.

The court also heard that the parents’ decision should be respected, as it was made in their son’s best interest, even if it did not align with his wishes.

The hearing before Mr. Justice Hayden is set to continue at a later date.

Unenlightened parents!

They could have just told the goat they wanted to show him the house the built for him in Nigeria. Many formats that can fool those GMO kids.

You won’t even make him suspicious. Just land in Naija and tear that passport, birth certificate and every other docs or ID he can use to identify himself

Endtime children.

This is serious. But the African school the parents relying so much on have turn to something else. Gone are the days when such action might bring the desire outcome. But not in this generation where 13yrs old child is a cult leader.

The child might turn out worst than they feared.

The boy na clown 🤡🤡 So I will consult pikin wey I dey feed before making the decision for him? What now makes him a minor?

Europeans are digging a big grave for their civilization this time & they won't recover

Nah God go bless that judge for me!

Imagine a 14 year old having the gut to want to put his parents in trouble.

They should never let him have access to international passport until he is 18years and his brain done reset.

You think this is not what they did?

You think if this boy, with so much gut, have access to his passport, he will not be in the UK already? He would have arranged his gangs to 'discipline' his parents.

They lost him long ago.

You can immediately tell those who didn't read the story well.

The boy's parents rather than send him to a correctional center chose to send him to Africa, as though Africa is some sort of dumping ground for kids with potentially criminal mindsets. If that boy ends up joining a cult(or maybe even heading one wherever he was deployed) it means the parents get to remain safe and removed from it all while all his victims in Africa end up the ones suffering.

Yes, the parents ought to have consulted with the boy before shipping him off to a foreign land, after all, he is a citizen just as they ar,e and by law, no citizen has the right to force a situation on another. Second, the boy is better off back in the UK where the system is better equipped to handle potential criminal elements such as he is described by his parents. Africa does not need any more criminal elements.

He is a citizen therefore he is entitled by law to the very same rights that his parents have and desire for themselves. Nothing wrong with that at all!

So, what? Would you rather he cower like the kids in Africa who don't understand what it means to stand up and fight for their rights in all situations? Even before 14, he is already standing up against potential injustice served him by his own parents. Can you imagine this kind of human being turning out as one of the many Nigerian youths out there today who would rather lick the shoes of the criminal polithief-tians who destroy their lives and futures? Of course not!

You would rather children remain like all those in Nigeria who would rather cower in fear waiting their turn to serve the very politicians who destroy their lives?

Poor kid They must have taken him to some remote village.

Let him stay there for at least a year

Would you, knowing why he was "deported" by his parents, want to live in that same remote village with him?

May God not allow our children to kill us untimely.
Which kain wahala be this abeg?

parents no even do am finish When them for tear away his passport. E clear say the boy don overdo pass himself for obodoybi

I have already paid my dues so no. Let him stay there and get experience.

These people should stop shipping junks back home, putting the lives of other kids at risk.

1Sharon:

Oh, you no go stay but you go want make other people pikin dey in potential harm's way in the name of having him pay his dues?

I hope someone from the place where the kid was shipped would find this and start a movement to demand the kid be shipped back to his parents immediately. He is an intelligent kid but he also is potentially dangerous, according to his own parents.

Look, if my child is at risk of joining a gang I'm also sending him back to Nigeria.

Because he can't join a gang down there in Nigeria, abi? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

That boy will eventually be brought back to the UK and may likely end up in foster care or a children residential home.

This is what civilizations and total freedom had brought to us in Africa.

Foolish child

Tearing his British passport changes nothing as long as he has access to Internet, he can easily contact his school in London, who would in turn contact the borough's children and young people's service......that boy would finally end up back in the UK, unless both parents rush and permanently leave the UK.

he atleast wont get access to guns, shanks, and yhe whatnots they do around there...

Because the terrorists, gang/cult boys, kidnappers, etc., in African countries don't have access to many of the same?

U are part of tye reason why the world is upside down...

Aren't there criminals in Nigerian schools too? Haven't we read about cultism and gangster in our secondary schools? Besides, aren't there great boarding schools in the UK too? Typical of a Nigerian parent who tries to outsource their parental responsibilities.

Outsourcing parental responsibilities while they remain in London.....why didn't they relocate with him to Africa, if they so love their son.

That's the question they should answer. Funny though, Nigerian parents have always outsourced parenting to schools from time immemorial, at least as witnessed in my own generation.

I'm not against sending a child to school in Nigeria but be sure the child is comfortable with the idea. The child needs not be fully convinced and also let the child know that you will bring him/ her back at the end of school year if the school isn't so comfortable.
