Internet adoption couple say babies were snatched
The British couple at the centre of the transatlantic internet adoption scandal have accused police and social workers of snatching the babies.
Judith Kilshaw said she wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to the six-month-old sisters while her solicitor husband Alan pledged to fight for them through the courts.
Their comments came as North Wales Police and social services officials dramatically swooped on the Beaufort Park Hotel close to the market town of Mold.
Det Insp Nick Crabtree said a protection order, granted under the Children's Act 1989, was served on the Kilshaws shortly before 9.50pm.
Speaking a short time later in her hotel room, a drawn Mrs Kilshaw, 47, whose screams could be heard as the children were taken away, spoke of her fears that she might never see them again.
She said: "I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the kids. They put themselves physically between them and us. I'm going to get myself a damn good lawyer, first move, and then I'm going to put in a complaint about the police."
She added that social services and police claimed there were concerns about the babies' care and suggested they were incapable parents.
The mother-of-four said they also wanted to question the couple's two young sons although her later claims that they too had been taken into care remained unsubstantiated.
She said: "The Government just wanted to make an example of us because we dared to tackle them. As for my good friends and neighbours who said so many things about us, well they can rot in hell. "
Solicitor Mr Kilshaw, 45, said the family had already enlisted the help of a leading lawyer and would "fight as long and hard" as necessary, saying: "There is no reason given at all for why they were taken away. We obviously realised it was a possibility. There is a political agenda here."
