Case name: J & MM (children) Case number (2013) WEHC 1820 (Fam)
Judge: Justice Jackson
Location: High Court (Family Division)
The case concerned the application by a local authority for care orders in relation to two children: J (aged nine) and MM (aged three). In November 2011, the children were removed from the care of their parents, after a fact-finding hearing found that the parents had been "reckless and incompetent" in managing J's asthma and that he had suffered harm as a result. In July 2012, the children were placed into the care of their grandparents. A special guardianship order was subsequently made for the children to remain in the long-term care of their grandparents, with defined contact with parents regulated and monitored by them.
