P v D and Others: FD 24 Jul 2014

‘These proceedings concern a family of Turkish/Cypriot origin that has been broken apart as a result of allegations of extreme violence perpetrated by the father. Following the allegations in 2010, the mother and the three children of the family, all girls hereafter referred to as X, Y and Z, then aged respectively 17, 14 and 8 and now aged 20, 17 and 11, went into hiding and moved to a succession of locations across the country in an effort to avoid being found by the father. On more than one occasion, the family moved again at very short notice when it emerged, or was feared, that their location had been discovered. Family proceedings were started in which the mother sought injunctions and orders limiting contact between the children and the father, and also the extent to which the father can exercise parental responsibility.’
