Hello,
my name is Anastasia, and I am the mother of a 4-year-old boy, Oliver.
Our story began in Spain in October 2024. One day, I started noticing small signs. At first, they were just words: things a three-year-old shouldn’t even know. Then came the drawings. As a mother, I did what any parent would do. I documented what my child was saying and expressing, and I also recorded videos of how his father interacted and “played” with him. I then brought this information to the authorities, seeking protection and professional assessment for my child.
What the Authorities Did
Instead of ordering an independent forensic or psychological evaluation, the criminal proceedings were quickly archived. I was informed that the situation did not meet the threshold of recognised risk, and that no further action would be taken unless more severe harm occurred.
Despite my objections and concerns, the court subsequently authorised unsupervised overnight stays between my son and his father.
What Happened After the Overnights
Following the commencement of these overnight stays, my son had to be taken to public hospitals on multiple occasions.
Doctors documented physical findings that required further investigation.
On three separate occasions, in three different public medical facilities, hospitals activated the official child protection protocol (SIMIA). In total, eight medical professionals examined my son.
The medical reports explicitly stated that the findings required forensic evaluation.
No such evaluation was ever ordered.
Three times, hospitals in Spain activated the child protection protocol (SIMIA), three separate times, in three different places, 8 doctors in total.
Reports described injuries that needed forensic evaluation.
Instead of protection, we were met with silence.
The court ignored the medical documents, didn’t provide any evaluation for my son - even though I had official medical evidence, psychological reports, and the words of my own child describing what had happened. The reason was “we don’t acknowledge the risk”
Why We Left Spain within 24h and left all life behind
When it became clear that final judicial decisions would be enforced without any independent forensic or psychological examination of my son, I understood that the system was not going to protect my child.
I made the decision to leave in order to prevent irreversible harm.
This was not an act of defiance, but an act of protection. I had full provisional custody at that time.
After We Left
Immediately after leaving, we initiated an international protection procedure.
Following our departure, we formally submitted a communication to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC), detailing the documented medical findings, the absence of forensic evaluation, and the enforcement measures carried out despite unresolved risk.
This step was taken not to escalate conflict, but to seek independent international review where domestic remedies had failed to provide effective protection for a minor child.
The CRC procedure is currently ongoing.
At the same time, the court proceeded to award full custody to the child’s father, despite the lack of any independent forensic examination and while documented medical and psychological risks remained unassessed.
Today, my son wakes up crying.
He has nightmares. He’s afraid to sleep alone.
And I am fighting as a mother, as one woman for the truth to be heard.
Why This Is Not Just a Family Tragedy
This is not a private custody dispute.
It is a systemic failure.
• Documented medical findings were ignored
• Child protection protocols were activated but not acted upon
• Requests for forensic examination were denied
• No independent assessment was ever ordered
• Enforcement proceeded despite unresolved and documented risk
No child should be placed in such circumstances.
Why I Am Asking for Help
I am raising funds in order to:
• obtain an independent forensic evaluation that meets international standards
• secure specialised legal assistance for international human rights review
• continue psychological therapy for my child, who is now being treated for trauma
• preserve and professionally organise medical and evidentiary documentation
• maintain basic stability while this case proceeds at an international level
Every contribution directly supports the protection, recovery, and future of my child.
Oliver’s father is a multimillionaire with many properties in Spain and in the Uk. I need to take this case to international level in order to obtain justice.
I have all the documents the hospital reports, photos of injuries and videos of how dad “play” with our son, the psychological evaluations, and more evidence that was ignored.
Every single donation, every share, every word of support matters.
You can help us bring light into a place where silence has ruled for too long.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with us against violence. ❤️
