brewsterbudgen Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Any update on the father and his advisor? The boy is still with his mum in Issan and just celebrated his 10th birthday with a huge party. The British Press appears to have dropped the story so hopefully it has been amicably resolved (and therefore no longer interesting)!Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they could not. It is not illegal to travel abroad with a child you have shared custody over. It only becomes illegal if another guardian, also with shared custody, reports to the police that she does not consent to you traveling abroad with your child.

'Guess the folks at BKK didn't know that. Either way, it seems that Mr. Felton figured that they could travel to BKK from SakNak and exit the country before anyone at BKK became aware anything was amiss even though it would be obvious, looking at the young boy's UK passport, that he entered Thailand in the company of someone other than his Father.

Maybe but the Jodie Smith Just Giving page has no update on an amicable resolution and is still showing contributions such as: Mar 10, 2018 Hoping your home soon where you belong with your family ?

JLCrab Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 So I guess that there has not been an amicable resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
