Parents complained of an infringement of their human rights when their children were taken into care. The care orders had been made by consent in early 2004, under which the children were to stay at home. The parents failed to comply with conditions attached and in May 2004, the authority gave notice that it would, under the order, seek to remove the children to their care. The parents issued an application for the care orders to be discharged.
Held: The parents’ applications was misconceived, and failed. Any complaint under Human Rights must be made much earlier.
