Just as one miscarriage of family justice seems to be resolving itself in Norway (the Bodnariu family are being reunited), another miscarriage of family justice seems to be worsening in the UK. Both cases have one thing in common: Isolated Romanian families.

Claudia Racolta and Florin Barbu, who are Romanian citizens and who met in London in 2007, have two children together – Diana (now, aged 8) and Andy (aged 5). Unfortunately, Claudia and Florin had some marital troubles, starting in 2013. And, in March, 2014, Diana and Andy were taken into custody by Haringey Council.
