Re KM (A Child) (Welfare) [2023] EWFC 313

A child of 16 was deemed beyond parental control after DM, who had cared for her, developed Alzheimer’s. It was decided that KM should remain in the UK under a care order while the Local Authority would support contact with KM’s previously estranged parents in a non-Hague Convention nation. An order under s.34(3) was not necessary.
