1. INTRODUCTION & LEGAL STANDING
I am writing this formal report as the sole legal parent and only holder of Parental Responsibility for my son, Matthew Isaiah Moldovan. My name is listed exclusively on both his UK and Romanian birth certificates; the section for “father” is marked as “unknown” on all official documents. I am his lawful guardian, the only person legally authorised to act on his behalf, and the only person entitled to his care, custody, and upbringing. I hold all his legal documents including his Romanian passport and UK residence papers – none of which are in the possession of Mr Ngapa, nor does he have any court order or consent to act as a parent or hold these documents.
For 11 years, my son has been wrongfully removed from my care, unlawfully detained, concealed, and moved repeatedly between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Cameroon by Mr Raoul Herbin Ngapa. He has systematically erased my identity from my son’s life, denied him his Romanian nationality, Jewish heritage, language, religion and family ties, and used my son solely as a tool to secure his own immigration status and avoid deportation, despite having no legal right to remain in the UK and a proven criminal record.
This report sets out all facts, evidence, and legal grounds, corrects false narratives, and formally requests immediate, coordinated action from the Romanian Embassy, UK Immigration, and UK Police to rectify these severe violations of law, human rights, and child protection standards.
2. FACTS OF THE CASE
2.1 Mr Raoul Herbin Ngapa: Unlawful Presence & Criminal History
2.2
- Immigration Status: Mr Ngapa entered the UK in 2012 as a visitor with limited permission. He overstayed beyond his visa expiry, making him an illegal overstayer under the Immigration Act 1971. He claimed asylum in 2014; this was refused, and his appeal (lodged June 2015) was abandoned/exhausted by November 2016. Since that date, he has no valid leave, no lawful permission, and absolutely no legal right to remain in the UK. He survives only on £10 per day asylum support – insufficient to support a child – and is prohibited from working. All his family reside in Cameroon; he has no independent ties or support network here.
- Identity Fraud: He operates openly under the false name “Raoul Santana” to conceal his true identity, hide his immigration history, evade authorities, and deceive social services, schools, and medical providers. This is a deliberate, ongoing deception.
- Criminal Convictions:- On 18 October 2016, he was arrested and charged with possession and use of a false EU identity document, an offence under Section 4 Identity Documents Act 2010 and Section 24 Immigration Act 1971.
- On 21 October 2016, he pleaded GUILTY and was sentenced to 12 months’ probation. Under Section 32 UK Borders Act 2007, this conviction triggers automatic mandatory deportation.
- He stole my original passport, ID cards, my son’s birth certificates and all legal paperwork to render me undocumented and block my ability to recover my child.
- Domestic Abuse & Coercive Control: Between 2013–2014, he subjected me to repeated physical assault, threats to kill, forced abortion, unlawful detention in my home, and severe psychological abuse – offences under the Serious Crime Act 2015. He targeted me specifically because of my Romanian and Jewish identity.
- Criminal Conspiracy: He acts with associates – Juliette Green, Juliet Farrell, Lois Allen and Chris Allen (3 Marlow Road, E6 3QG; 18 Henniker Garden, E6 3JG) – who assist him in hiding my son, placing him in unregulated care, deceiving authorities, and concealing his whereabouts. This constitutes a criminal conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
2.3 International Child Abduction & Trafficking
2.4
- In 2019, Mr Ngapa unlawfully removed my son from the UK to Cameroon without my consent, without any court order, and in direct violation of my sole parental rights.
- Since then, he has moved the child constantly between London, Liverpool, and Cameroon specifically to evade detection, prevent contact, and place him outside UK legal jurisdiction.
- He has explicitly threatened: “If I am refused leave or deported, I will take the child with me anywhere — even to Cameroon.” This is not care; it is kidnapping and using a child as a human shield and bargaining chip.
- He has admitted he cannot afford legal fees or living costs. He has abandoned my son with unauthorised strangers in the past because he cannot or will not care for him. He treats my son as property, not a human being.
- This meets the legal definition of Child Abduction (Child Abduction Act 1984) and Trafficking in Persons (Modern Slavery Act 2015).
2.3 Official Records Prove He Has No Rights
Enfield Council and Newham Council records (dated 03 April 2014) confirm:
- My son was placed under Section 20 Children Act 1989 – this is voluntary, temporary emergency accommodation only. It is NOT a care order, NOT a removal order, and transfers NO parental rights or authority to anyone – especially not to Mr Ngapa.
- He was placed on the Child Protection Register (24 January 2014) – confirming authorities knew he was at significant risk of harm in Mr Ngapa’s care from the very start.
- Mr Ngapa is NOT named, recognised, or recorded as father, guardian, or legal parent in any official council or government document. His claim to be a parent or carer is entirely fabricated.
3. CORRECTION OF FALSE ALLEGATIONS
Mr Ngapa and his associates have spread malicious lies to justify their actions. I hereby formally correct these falsehoods with facts and evidence:
❌ LIE: “She abandoned the child in 2014”
✅ THE TRUTH: I did not abandon him. In 2014, I was trapped in a dangerous, abusive environment. I fled for safety to protect both myself and my son. During this time, I was:
1. Attending appointments at the Romanian, Israeli, and American Embassies – working tirelessly to secure my son’s legal status, citizenship, and travel documents as a responsible mother.
2. Seeking refuge with my maternal family in Stamford Hill to escape violence and threats.
I was not absent – I was fighting for his future while fleeing for my life.
❌ LIE: “She is unreliable / missed appointments in 2017”
✅ THE TRUTH: In February 2017, I was heavily pregnant with my youngest child and under strict medical advice (confirmed in medical records) not to travel or face stress due to a threatened miscarriage and high-risk pregnancy. I prioritised the life of my unborn child – this is responsible motherhood, not disinterest. Even then, I continued searching for Matthew while in pain and distress.
❌ LIE: “She is mentally unstable / unfit mother”
✅ THE TRUTH: Old claims of “instability” date from 2019 or earlier – a time when I was homeless, impoverished, and traumatised by years of abuse. Those circumstances were the result of Mr Ngapa’s crimes, not my character.
2026 PROOF OF FITNESS:
- I now live in a permanent, safe, secure family home in Salford – fully suitable and ready to welcome Matthew immediately.
- I have raised my younger child alone from birth to age 9. This is formally documented by social services with ZERO safeguarding concerns, zero issues, zero complaints ever raised. This is irrefutable proof I am a capable, stable, loving parent.
- I hold all legal documents and have always protected my son’s rights, while Mr Ngapa has destroyed them.
- I am fully integrated into my community and supported by specialist agency Paperweight and the Manchester Jewish community.
Authorities must judge me on who I am today, not on who I was while being abused and victimised.
4. SEVERE HARM CAUSED: CULTURAL ERASURE & RIGHTS VIOLATION
The damage inflicted on Matthew is profound, illegal, and permanent:
4.1 Identity Erasure & Emotional Abuse
4.2
Mr Ngapa systematically tells my son: “You have no mother”, “You have no family”, “You are not Romanian”, “You are not Jewish”. This is identity theft and severe emotional abuse. Every child has a fundamental right to know their family, heritage, language, religion, and history – rights protected under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. By denying him these, Mr Ngapa has inflicted irreversible psychological harm and raised him in total isolation.
4.3 Violation of Romanian & EU Citizenship Rights
4.4
Matthew Isaiah Moldovan is a Romanian national by birth, and also a British citizen. Under:
- Romanian Citizenship Law
- European Union Law
- International Treaties and the UNCRC
He has absolute, inalienable rights to:
1. His Romanian nationality, passport, and consular protection
2. His culture, language, traditions, and religion
3. Family life and contact with his legal family
4. Grow up in a safe, stable environment
By removing him to Cameroon, hiding him, and denying his Romanian identity, Mr Ngapa has stripped a European citizen of his legal status, his rights, and his future. A foreign national cannot be permitted to erase the citizenship and heritage of a Romanian/EU child.
4.3 Neglect & Developmental Harm
Official assessments confirm Matthew has speech and language delays and special educational needs. In Mr Ngapa’s care – with no money, no legal status, no stability, and constant movement – he receives no therapy, no proper education, no medical care, and no safe environment. He lives in overcrowded temporary accommodation on £10 per day – a situation of clear neglect and deprivation.
5. EXPERT VALIDATION & SYSTEMIC FAILURE
For 11 years, I have sought help from police, social services, and the Home Office. While sympathetic, I was repeatedly told: “We have no jurisdiction outside the UK. We cannot act in Cameroon.” This legal loophole has allowed Mr Ngapa to hold my son hostage indefinitely.
I have engaged IECC – International Expertise Centre ChildAbduction.com (specialists since 1999). Their formal assessment confirms:
- This is a high-risk international abduction case.
- The UK system and Hague Convention are ineffective here because Cameroon is complex and requires cross-border, on-the-ground action.
- Only coordinated action between Romanian consular support, UK authorities, and international law enforcement can bring him home.
This is not an isolated case. I have launched a petition for reform: https://www.change.org/p/demand-justice-and-safe-return-for-kidnapped-jewish-boy
6. WITNESS STATEMENTS & EVIDENCE
Attached to this report as formal evidence:
1. Statement from Rabbi Yaakov Avraham – community leader confirming I was a victim of abuse, that I have always been a caring mother, and that allegations of being “unfit” are false.
2. Statement from Joshua Moldovan (my brother / child’s uncle) – eyewitness testimony confirming the abuse, the illegal status, the fraud, the abduction, and that I have always been a fit and devoted mother.
3. Official Council Records (Enfield/Newham) – proving Mr Ngapa has no legal rights and the child was at risk.
4. Birth Certificates / Legal Documents – confirming sole parental responsibility and Romanian nationality.
5. Medical Records – confirming reasons for past absences/appointments.
6. IECC Expert Assessment – professional validation of the abduction and recovery requirements.
7. Probation / Court Records – proving criminal conviction and automatic deportation eligibility.
7. FORMAL LEGAL REQUESTS & DEMANDS
Based on the facts, evidence, and laws cited – including the Immigration Act 1971, UK Borders Act 2007, Children Act 1989, Human Rights Act 1998, Modern Slavery Act 2015, Romanian Citizenship Law, EU Law, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – I formally demand IMMEDIATE ACTION WITHIN 7 WORKING DAYS from all three authorities:
📌 TO THE ROMANIAN EMBASSY – CONSULAR SECTION
1. Exercise consular protection and intervention on behalf of Matthew Isaiah Moldovan – a Romanian national – to secure his rights, his identity, and his return to his legal family.
2. Issue formal diplomatic requests and notifications to the UK Government and to authorities in Cameroon regarding this illegal removal, citizenship violation, and abuse of a Romanian child.
3. Provide legal support and representation to assist in the recovery of the child and enforcement of his Romanian rights.
4. Officially recognise me as the sole legal parent and support my application for the child’s return and restoration of all his documents.
5. Work jointly with UK Immigration and Police to ensure coordinated action and prevent the child from being permanently lost in Cameroon.
📌 TO UK HOME OFFICE – IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
1. INITIATE DEPORTATION PROCEEDINGS IMMEDIATELY against Mr Raoul Herbin Ngapa (alias Raoul Santana). Grounds: unlawful presence, criminal conviction under Section 32 UK Borders Act 2007, identity fraud, international child abduction, trafficking, and being a danger to child welfare and public safety. He is legally liable for automatic deportation and must be removed to Cameroon immediately.
2. CEASE ALL PUBLIC FUNDS, HOUSING, AND SUPPORT to Mr Ngapa immediately. He is here illegally and uses taxpayer money to fund his crimes and hold a child hostage.
3. Place border alerts, travel bans, and port controls to stop him from removing the child from the UK again or fleeing jurisdiction.
4. Investigate his associates (Juliette Green et al) for conspiracy, assisting an offender, and perverting the course of justice.
📌 TO UK POLICE – CHILD PROTECTION & INTERNATIONAL CRIME UNIT
1. Issue a Child Abduction Alert / Amber Alert and enter details into Interpol databases. This is an international abduction case under the Child Abduction Act 1984 and Modern Slavery Act 2015.
2. Locate Matthew Isaiah Moldovan and place him under police protection, removing him from Mr Ngapa’s illegal, abusive care immediately.
3. Execute court orders/authorisations to return the child directly to me – his sole legal parent – at my address in Salford.
4. Open a criminal investigation against Mr Ngapa for:- Child abduction and trafficking
- Identity fraud and document theft
- Domestic violence and coercive control
- Conspiracy to conceal a child and obstruct justice
5. Coordinate with Romanian consular staff and international police to secure the child’s safety and return.
8. CONCLUSION
This is not a family dispute. This is a case of a foreign national living illegally in the UK, with a criminal record, who has committed serious crimes against me and my son, abused the system, destroyed legal records, erased a child’s identity and citizenship, and held him hostage for 11 years to avoid being deported.
I am a fit, stable, proven, legal mother. I have a safe home, a loving family, and the legal right to my son. Matthew is a Romanian and British citizen. He has a right to his name, his heritage, his family, and his freedom.
I urge the Romanian Embassy, UK Immigration, and UK Police to act now, together, and urgently. Do not wait until Mr Ngapa takes my son to Cameroon again – where UK law cannot reach and Romanian consular help is the only hope – and we lose him forever.
I am available at any time to attend meetings, give evidence, or assist in any way to bring Matthew home.
I trust you will treat this matter with the seriousness, urgency, and legal duty it demands.
Yours faithfully,
Elisabeta Moldovan
Sole Legal Parent & Guardian of Matthew
