Boy and girl travelled to the UK with their British foster parents in 2019 and became ‘trapped in limbo’ there after pandemic lockdowns
Two Aboriginal children who have been stranded in the UK without passports or visas since 2020 while courts decided their guardianship must be immediately brought home to Australia, the nation’s peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children says.
The chief executive of SNAICC, Catherine Liddle, said it “beggared belief” that any government agency would allow vulnerable children to be “trapped in limbo” as “unwanted aliens in a distant country, with no family or cultural links”.
