“I am just happy that I get to see my children and now I have them again. It was very hard not seeing my children and not knowing where they were,” said Nadia Simmons who had not seen her two sons — aged six and two — since May 31 when their father took them into his custody.
Last week, she had indicated in this space that she was desperately trying to find her sons and even though she had engaged the police, Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA) and the Family Court almost two months passed before she learnt the whereabouts of her two sons.
The CC&PA finally made contact with the father and he took the children to the agency on July 30. Initially, last weekend, the boys were placed in the temporary custody of their paternal grandmother but as of Thursday last week Simmons has her sons. Going forward, their father can have them for weekends and return them to her care.
