L’Aquila, 20 May (LaPresse) – ‘This morning I completed my initial meetings with the professionals involved in the case, meeting with the heads of social services and the child neuropsychiatry team at the Atessa facility.’ This was stated today in Palmoli by lawyer Simone Pillon, the new legal representative of the Trevallion-Birmingham family, known as the “forest family”. The lawyer is handling the case regarding the reunification of the three minor children of the Anglo-Australian couple, whose parental responsibility was suspended last November by the Juvenile Court of L’Aquila. Today’s meetings with the consultants “were undoubtedly useful in better defining the contours of the case,” – explained the lawyer – “Cases like this require careful mediation work, which takes place mainly outside the courtrooms, and that is what we are working on.” – added Pillon – “I confirm what was already mentioned yesterday regarding the parents’ willingness to undertake a course of parental support, also to help them better support their children in the situation they are currently facing.” On the social services front, the lawyer clarified that ‘a number of differences of opinion were addressed with great frankness, and this has allowed for mutual clarification which will certainly help to ease relations in the immediate term,’ concluded the defence lawyer. ‘I hope that all of this will lead to the desired return of the children to their family as soon as possible.’
