End Child Apartheid against children.

A child’s human rights are being systematically violated.

我們要求立即停止對Neil的種族隔離，讓他回家。

We, the undersigned, call on the UK Parliament and the High Court to take immediate action to address the grave injustices facing Neil my son, a 9-year-old boy separated from his loving maternal family due to systemic failure and social worker misconduct, violating Neil’s safety, human rights, and legal protections.

 

📌 Incident Background:

In 2017, my two sons and I left my ex-partner, after living together for three years, because of ongoing child abuse and domestic violence.

In 2019, my youngest son Neil’s father was found to be a perpetrator of child abuse and domestic abuse by Coventry Family Court

In 2023, despite this finding, social worker Sadie Skidmore intervened and unlawfully cooperated with the father through the court, violating  Chapter 3 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. The law clearly states that children who are victims of domestic abuse must not be returned to the perpetrator, and their safety and well-being must be prioritized. Both Sadie Skidmore and the court failed in their legal duty to protect Neil.

To this day, Neil is forbidden from speaking Chinese, from contacting his mother and siblings, from seeing his maternal family and friends, and is even silenced when he mentions his mother. Neil said:

   "I want to kill myself so I can talk to my mum."

This is not a normal custody arrangement after domestic violence. This is systematic deprivation, linguistic and cultural discrimination, and a serious violation of Neil's human rights.

-

📌 1. What is happening to Neil? What Neil's feelings? 
Neil has repeatedly made heartbreaking statements during supervised visits, including:

• “When I kill myself… when I kill myself…”
• “I want to talk to you, Mama. I will kill myself to talk to my mum.”
• “Why did I have to be born in this life?”
• “Mama, will you still love me if I die?”
• “I wish I could go home, but it will not happen. They will not let me.”
• “Mama, don’t give me anything. He takes them away. I can’t find them.”

These words were documented and witnessed during supervised contact visits under official supervision.

These are not isolated quotes — they are repeated cries for help from a child in emotional collapse. He said these things after he was forcibly taken away from his mother and brother by social worker Sadie Skidmore and returned to the father found guilty of child abuse.

-

📌 2. Why is this happening? (What the father and professionals did)

Neil’s father repeatedly asked the court and social services to cut all contact between Neil and his mother’s family. The social worker and the court fully complied with these requests, despite legal duties to protect Neil as an abuse victim.

Neil’s father was found guilty of child abuse and domestic abuse in Family Court. Despite this, social worker Sadie Skidmore used violence to remove Neil from his safe home and returned him to the father. This happened in public in June 2023, while Neil was screaming, crying, and holding tightly onto his brother. Skidmore then falsely told the court that Neil was “happy to return to his father.”

Since early childhood, Neil has been:

• Banned from speaking his mother’s language (Mandarin)
• Forbidden to eat Chinese food or celebrate his Taiwanese identity
• Denied contact with his sister Lulu (who does not speak English)
• Blocked from speaking to or seeing his maternal grandparents

❗ Important Legal Note:
These actions violate multiple UK laws and international conventions, including:

• Children Act 1989 – Child’s best interests and emotional safety
• Domestic Abuse Act 2021 – Protection from abusers
• Equality Act 2010 – Ban on race and language discrimination
• Human Rights Act 1998 (Article 8) – Right to family life and identity
• UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Right to culture, language, and to be heard

From March 2023 to October 2024:

• Neil was only allowed to see his mother for 1 hour per visit, under strict supervision — not for safety, but to prevent anyone from speaking Mandarin.
• Although contact was ordered by the court, it was frequently cancelled — especially were completely canceled in Jan–Mar 2024, Sept 2024, and after Oct 2024.

Since October 2024, all contact has been completely severed — Neil is no longer allowed to see, message, or speak to his mother, siblings, or any maternal family.

These are not just injustices — they are violations of Neil’s rights under UK and international law.

-

📌 3. What are Neil’s feelings and wishes?
Neil was safe, secure, and emotionally healthy when living with his mother, brother David, and the church-supported family from 2022 to 2023. He only began expressing suicidal thoughts and long-term trauma after being forced to return to his father.

He now suffers from:

• Nightmares and long-term insomnia
• Emotional shutdown and withdrawal
• Distress at school (torn books, blacked-out writing)
• Being too afraid to receive love, gifts, or even photos from his mother

Neil is still waiting for mental health support through CAMHS, while his trauma continues untreated.

-

📌 4. What this petition calls for:

1. A full and independent public inquiry into Warwickshire Children’s Services and the conduct of Sadie Skidmore
2. Immediate action to reunite Neil with his protective maternal family
3. A full review of the Family Court’s role in allowing this harm
4. An investigation into the discredited psychological reports that misled the court
5. National reform to prevent forced cultural erasure and isolation in future cases

 
❗ Why this matters:
Neil is a child — not a legal pawn. His trauma, identity, and love for his family have been stripped away under the excuse of “procedure.” He has been punished for speaking Mandarin, for loving his mother, and for needing his brother.

If this can happen to Neil — an innocent child with confirmed abuse history and professional support — it can happen to any child.

We call for justice, protection, and accountability — not silence.

📌 給中文的讀者：

我們要求立即停止對Neil的種族隔離，讓他回家。

2017年，我和兩個兒子，因為兒童虐待和家庭暴力，與同住了三年的前男友分開。

2019年，英國法院確認我的小兒子尼爾的父親是施暴者。

2023年，在社工 Sadie Skidmore 介入下，父親透過法庭與社工合作，違反《家庭暴力法2021》（Domestic Abuse Act 2021）第3章保障原則，使用暴力、強行迫使尼爾被帶回施暴父親家。該法明確規定：家暴兒童不得被送回施暴者身邊，必須優先保護兒童的安全與福祉。Sadie Skidmore 和法庭違背了法律對受害兒童的保護義務。

至今，尼爾不被允許說中文、不准聯絡母親和哥哥姊姊、不准見台灣家人和朋友、甚至只要提及母親就會被制止。

尼爾說：「我想自殺來和媽媽說話。」

這不是家暴後的雙方監護安排，而是系統性的剝奪、語言文化歧視與嚴重侵害人權。

📌 主要問題

我們呼籲：請聯絡英國國會、法律機構和國際人權團體，要求立刻採取行動，終止尼爾Neil（年僅9歲）被迫與母親分離、被迫與施暴者同住的狀況。

父親曾是施暴者、法院早已確認。我當時擁有「完全監護權」，卻被剝奪權利、被誣陷成拐走孩子，還因此被判刑入獄。社工 Sadie Skidmore 無視證據，完全接受父親指令，導致整個系統失敗。

Neil 現在活在一個 “禁止愛母親、禁止說母語、禁止中國文化、禁止回家” 的種族隔離世界 - Apartheid。

 
📌 一、Neil 正在經歷什麼？（Neil 的心聲）

Neil 曾多次在監管中的會面中表達心聲，語氣沉重、悲傷：

• 「當我自殺的時候……當我自殺的時候……」
• 「我想和你說話，媽媽……我會為了和你說話而自殺。」
• 「為什麼我要出生在這樣的生活裡？」
• 「媽媽，如果我死了你還會愛我嗎？」
• 「我希望可以回家，但不會發生的。他們不會讓我回去。」
• 「媽媽，幫我留著全部東西，不要給我東西。他都拿走了，我再也找不到了。」

這不是偶爾的傷心話，而是一個被隔絕、被壓迫、被剝奪權利的孩子，在絕望中的求救聲音。

他在監管的見面中幾乎不說話，語氣低沉，眼神無望，但緊緊依偎在媽媽懷抱中，有時候偷偷告訴媽媽「我想回家」或寫下「Yaoyuan is our home」(我們家在桃園) 給媽媽。這些話是他在被嚴密監控的唯一機會中，用盡勇氣說出的。

自此 Neil 在被社工 Sadie Skidmore 以暴力手段帶離母親與哥哥、完全切斷母系家庭後，與外公、外婆、妹妹、親友、台灣家人完全隔離，甚至不能說中文或提到媽媽。他說：「我想自殺和媽媽說話。」

🌟 Neil 的心聲與願望很單純：他想回到愛他、保護他、了解他的家人身邊；他想念自己的語言、擁抱自己的文化，不再活在孤立與監控裡。

👉 Neil 的心聲告訴我們：這不是一個普通的家庭衝突，而是一個孩子被「制度性排除」與「系統性壓迫」的受害故事。

 
📌 二、為什麼會這樣？（父親與當地社工員的行為）

父親多年來多次向法庭與社工公開要求，完全切斷 Neil 與母系家庭的所有聯繫。社工 Skidmore 與法院完全服從這種要求，違反保護兒童受害者的法律責任。

Neil 的父親已在家庭法院被認定為家庭暴力和虐兒的施害者。儘管如此，社工 Sadie Skidmore 仍於 2023 年 6 月，在眾目睽睽下以暴力方式將 Neil 從安全的哥哥 David 懷抱中擄走，強行交回施虐者手中。當時 Neil 嚴重驚恐、大聲哭喊並死命抱住哥哥 David，不少路人停下來關看這個暴力情景；然而 Skidmore 卻向法庭謊稱：「Neil 很開心回到父親身邊。」

這不僅是孤立事件，而是有系統地剝奪 Neil 的語言、文化、親情、身份與基本人權。

從出生到現在，Neil 一直被禁止：
   🔸 說母語（中文／台語）
   🔸 吃中餐、慶祝任何台灣文化
   🔸 與在台灣的家人聯繫（外公、外婆和姊姊）
   🔸 聯絡任何母系家族的親人以及朋友

自 2023 年 3 月至 2024 年 10 月：
   🔸 Neil 僅被允許每次與母親見面一小時，且必須全程被監視（目的不是安全，而是防止他們說中文）
   🔸 法院訂定的會面經常被社工與父親取消（例如 2024 年 1-3 月、9 月完全無接觸）

自 2024 年 10 月起：
   🔸 所有接觸全面中斷，Neil 不再被允許與母親、哥哥、祖父母或任何母系家人見面、通訊或傳訊

 
❗ 重要法律說明：
這些行為明顯違反下列英國法律與國際人權公約：

• 《1989年兒童法案》 – 保障兒童的最佳利益與情感安全
• 《2021年家庭暴力法案》 – 保護受害者不受施虐者控制
• 《2010年平等法案》 – 禁止基於語言與族裔的歧視
• 《1998年人權法案》第8條 – 保障家庭生活、語言與文化身份的權利
• 《聯合國兒童權利公約》 – 保障孩子接觸文化、使用語言與表達意見的權利

這些不是單純的行政錯誤，而是對兒童基本權利的系統性侵害。

 
📌 三、Neil 的心情與願望是什麼？

尼爾 Neil 從小最愛的家人就是媽媽、哥哥、姊姊和外公，他常說：『我要回家！我要媽媽！』。但在父親和社工 Sadie Skidmore 的設計下，他被完全隔離，失去母語、文化與家庭，他的心願只是回到一個有愛的家。

尼爾 Neil 的心理創傷、思考死亡、噩夢、長期失眠、與自殘行為，都是在被強迫回生父那天之後才開始。

他目前遭受的傷害包括：

• 思考死亡
• 長期失眠與噩夢
• 在學校情緒崩潰（書本撕裂、全黑塗鴉）
• 擔心接受任何物品或來自母親的愛（會被父親拿走）
• 難以就醫與獲得心理支援，仍在排隊等待 CAMHS 評估

Neil 的願望很單純：

• 『 回家見媽媽、姊姊、哥哥、外婆、家人、朋友 』、
• 『 能說中文、吃台灣食物、看到所有親人和朋友 』、
• 『 不想一個人住在某個常常對他吼：我恨你的父親的家 』。

他不需要更多複雜的制度安排，只希望能回到熟悉、有愛、安全的家人身邊。

 

📌 四、我們的請求：

我們要求立即停止對Neil的系統性傷害，給他回家的路：

• 對 Warwickshire 兒童服務機構及社工 Sadie Skidmore 的行為進行獨立公開調查
• 立即將 Neil 安全地送回母系家庭，停止持續性傷害
• 全面檢討家庭法庭在此案中未保障兒童權益的失職
• 調查家庭法庭接受並引用已遭駁回的假心理報告，將受害人與加害人角色顛倒
• 推動國家層級改革，禁止種族文化歧視、語言禁令及對兒童的強制隔離

❗ 為什麼這很重要：
Neil 是一個孩子——不是法庭棋子。他的創傷、文化、與對家庭的愛被法律程序剝奪。他被懲罰的理由只是：他會說中文、他愛他的媽媽、他需要哥哥。

如果這樣的情況可以發生在 Neil 身上——一個有明確家暴記錄、專業證人支持的孩子，那就有可能發生在任何一個孩子身上。

👉 「這不是個案，而是制度性剝奪Neil基本人權的案例。

👉   我們呼籲正義、保護與問責 —— 而不是沉默與隱瞞。
