HELP ME GET MY GIRLS HOME

Donation protected
5 years ago my sister's ex husband took the children to Libya, for us to never see them again.
It's been the longest years of my sister's life, fighting a battle she is no where near close to finishing .
Now that her story is out in the open I wanted to raise as much as I could to help with her lawyers and  solicitors, legal fees, travel, accommodation and all round help to bring back her girls.

I realised not everyone knows her struggle so to make you all understand what is happened
Here it is ...
My name is Tanya Borg, In 2015 my husband took my children on an agreed holiday to see his mum in Tunisia, his mum lives in Libya but often goes to Tunisia to see family, and as Tunisia is safe unlike Libya I agreed to a weeks holiday. My husband went straight from Tunisia and crossed the border to Libya. As soon as I found out this news I knew I had made a big mistake. He was making out that they were trapped and he needed help getting out but I knew it was all lies I was trying to get help from the authorities, Foreign office in England, British Embassy in Tunisia but their was nothing they could do as long as they were in Libya. So I knew I was on my own.

Heartbroken I carried on with his Charade pretending to believe his lies and trying to Persuade him to return with the children.

After a year of lies he said he was going to come back but on the condition I signed over full custody of the children. As I was in no position to argue I agreed to anything and everything to get him back to the UK.

He returned with my son. I was overwhelmed with joy when I saw my son. My son didn’t understand why I was so overwhelmed and he was not the same little boy he was when he left England in 2015. I felt like I no longer meant anything to him and he never left his dads side. After my husband realised he couldn’t get full custody of the children without them being present in the United Kingdom he said he was going back to Libya. I couldn’t let that happen so I stole his and my son’s­­­passports that were in his coat pocket ran out the house and rang the police. I explained to the police my situation but apparently they could not charge him for kidnapping as I had agreed for them to leave the jurisdiction. Again I was in a position where I was powerless but I kept my son’s passport. My husband then said he was going back to get the girls. I knew this wasn’t true but I had no choice to pretend to believe him again but this time I didn’t let my son go. My son hated me for this and his behaviour towards me was what I would not wish on anybody. But I knew he was brainwashed and not his fault so I remained strong. His dad went back to Libya and of course said he wasn’t going to return.

My son was heartbroken and did not eat or drink until he got a phone call from his dad every day he still have that control over my son from another country. My son was really stubborn and kept this up Social services were involved as he would not attend school, but said I was to keep food in the house so he can feed himself, as he would not eat from me. I was taking all their advice but nothing was changing. I would tell his dad about how skinny he was getting and that he needed to be hear for his son. And used his behaviour to again try and get his dad back into this country he decided he was coming back but he threatened me and said if I did anything I would never see my girls again.

When he came back I served him with a court order to return the girls. Didn’t let him stay with me and stopped contact between him and my son. I took back control of my son, stopped listening to the social workers and did things my way. I took away the Xbox and the phone and did not let him have them until he did basic things like shower, eat and brush his teeth. Then got him back into school. The day his dad got back into England I no longer had contact With my daughters the phone numbers that used to work no longer worked. For months I went to court to get him committed for not returning the children he was given chance after chance until he was finally committed August 2017. He is still playing the court system and saying he wants to return the children but he doesn’t know where they are. My two girls were 3 and 15. The last time I saw them in February 2015. Now they are 7 and 19 I have not spoken to them since March 2017. I don’t even know where they are my eldest is 18 years old and is not even able to contact me which scares the life out of me. I have to recommit my husband every 6 months to still try and get my children returned this is also a very draining and expensive process. I have gone down every avenue to get help and I have one left but unfortunately it costs a lot of money I need to raise around £100,000 to aid me to find my children.

As a parent and a mother I will not stop until I find my children and bring them to the safety of their home.

Update- 
February 2019 I made my way to Malta To Libya The grandmother refused to let the children stay with me so I went through Libyan courts After several months I finally won the case for my children but that day the grandmother ran away from the house. The country was currently at war and Still is so The police didn’t do anything. I feel like I am not knowing where my children are. I need to raise money to find people to help find my children please can you help me. I want to thank everyone that donated so far that money got me to Libya unfortunately I run out of money so I had to return. My eldest daughter has been locked in a house and is not allowed to be around anybody with any mobile devices and is not allowed to leave the grandmothers side. When I was there she tried to run away but the Grandmother came with a few neighbours and started being physical and drag her away she was pleading and screaming to be with me it was heartbreaking I have video footage of this
Please help my daughters come home
