Parents win right to keep fourth child - but vow to fight for the other
three
By LAURA COLLINS
http://www.dailymail.co.uk
Norfolk couple Mark and Nicky Webster last week finally won their landmark
legal fight to keep their fourth child, Brandon, after a false allegation of
child abuse robbed them of their three older children.
In what has been described as a "gross miscarriage of justice", the
Webster's' children were taken away by Social Services and forcibly adopted
after a family court hearing that lasted just one day.
Here, the shattered parents tell of their ordeal and their joy at the High
Court judgment on their youngest child. But the battle is not over.
16th
June 2006 - Due to the Reporting Restriction Order issued by Norfolk County
Council on June 10th, Nicky's and Mark's
website www.helpnickyandmark.vze.comand all it's content, as well as the forum
has been removed. Hopefully, the website will
return in due course.
Nicky's and Mark wishes to
thank everyone for their help and support.

Children Campaign
As reported
extensively in the TV/Press over the last few weeks, Nicky and Mark's three children were taken away from them following allegations of child abuse, after their son suffered a
fractured leg.
However, the family courts failed to take into account vital medical evidence, evidence that would have help Nicky & Mark's case. Nicky's family has
a history of brittle bone disease, and although Nicky doesn't suffer from the condition, it's likely that she's passed on the condition to her children.
Nicky and Mark's children were taken away from
them, and have since been adopted. Nicky has recently given birth to their fourth child, Brandon, and they fear that Brandon may be taken away from them.
It is hoped
that this webpage will give their case a great deal of publicity not just in
Great Britain, but around the world as well. You'll find all the latest media
