A 14-year-old Ghanaian boy has sued his parents for moving him from London to Ghana.
According to reports, the parents sent the 14-year-old to Ghana to attend boarding school in Ghana.
The information gathered reveals the young lost his case in a High Court in London.
According to the parents, their decision to send him to Ghana was not to punish him but rather to protect him, as they suspected he was being groomed by gangs in London.
However, the boy claimed that his parents tricked him into believing that the trip to Ghana was to visit a sick relative.
A narrator of the story detailed, “A 14-year-old boy who tried to sue his own parents for sending him from London to Ghana to go to boarding school has lost his case.
The high court in London heard how his parents were worried that he was being corrupted by gangs in London and feared for his safety and moved him not as a punishment but to protect him”, she added.
She continued, “But the boy said his parent tricked him, and that the visit was to see a sick relative, he told the court he was living in hell and that he had never been part of a gang and wanted to go back to his old school.
But the Judge said he was satisfied that the parents moved their child abroad out of love and the teenager was a risk of suffering greater harm coming back to the UK”, she revealed.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians have expressed their opinion about the story saying, “This outcome underscores the legal system’s stance on parental responsibility in protecting minors, even when it clashes with a young person’s desire for autonomy”.
