German gov’t accused over children sent to ‘illegal’ foster families in Portugal

Teen mom on hunger strike outside court to prevent son’s adoption
Ana Rita Leonardo gave birth to Martim at the age of 13 and, as she did not have the conditions to care for him, she handed him over to an institution. Recently, Cascais Family Court decided he should be adopted with urgency and so she has since staged a number of protests, the last being a hunger strike outside the Family Court.
