Surrey mother fights ‘drug-dealer’ guardians for custody of son

A Surrey mother is fighting to have her 6-year-old son back living with her – because the family he’s currently with have been convicted for drug dealing.

After giving birth when she was 17, it was agreed her ex-boyfriend’s relatives would look after him.  But since 2013 the boy’s mother, who represents herself in court as she can’t afford a lawyer, says she’s worried about who he lives with and she’s grown up and can look after him now.

On Wednesday, a new investigation was ordered into the boy’s circumstances to find out whether he was being harmed.
