    so the french police aren't exactly bothered due to her age (does that come as a surprise ? )

    and now I see crimewatch are featuring it , in a while instead of another thing..
    does crimewatch go out in france / europe then ?

    I dunno, we need to call in scottie of the yard (and his unicycle) :)

    I genuinely heard someone say that on Newsnight a few days ago. Truly outstanding. Some old bat was saying how badgers with TB are shunned by the other badgers and turned away from the set, and the guy from the research panel said 'Actually the scientific studies don't support that idea at all', to which she replied 'I don't care, it's a fact'. Fantastic.

    Oh yes, the basis for the European Arrest Warrant is a charge of 'Child Abduction'. Good job you don't have to demonstrate your case to get one really since the photos of them happily holding hands on the ferry crossing could very well be construed as contrary to the notion of 'abduction'...

    Except she's underage and therefore taking her off without her parent's consent is technically abduction. The age of consent applies to more than just sex.

    to get to France, they had to leave this country, and since she's classed as a minor and her parents haven't given permission.. AND her parents have no doubt contacted the police. It did make it a police matter regardless of it's UK based or further afield.

    lets just say I don't have a lot of time for the french police.. some of their previous cases and their outcomes made me think that way.

    She'd have had trouble travelling alone, most [if not all] International transporters require under 16's to be accompanied by an adult.

    Missing persons are a police matter, yes, but that doesn't mean it's a criminal matter. Even the Chief Inspector said it's believed she "went to France willingly". The whole EAW system is an absolute farce of trumped-up charges that would never stand up in court. What if the French Police even do find this guy and send him back to the UK? They still can't touch the girl or send her home if she doesn't want to go.

    and it was also stated on the news "taken without parents consent" .

    I know some people who have care of kids as part of their jobs, like the rest of folk on here do (teachers etc).

    girls etc that age (and boys) have crushes on teachers or adults.. my friends very pretty teacher wife being one that had such issues (she started teaching juniors instead because of the unwanted attention) . It's part of the job to keep a professional distance , regardless he should know better.

    it's not the first or last time such things will happen, just normally they are hushed up.

    Fact is she was seen boarding a ferry in dover with him, he didn't have her parents permission and it doesn't really matter whether she "went voluntarily" or not (lets not also forget that right now nobody really knows), because she isn't, legally at least, old enough to make that decision for herself. That makes it a case of potential child abduction and the issue of an EAW justified.

    It also doesn't matter whether she's old enough to consent in France either, since the whole point of an EAW is a form of expedited extradition for a crime committed elsewhere in Europe.

    This is what it comes down to really. The law says that she isn't old enough to make such decisions for herself, and that he was in a position of trust which places certain additional responsibilities on him.

    Right and wrong are basically irrelevant as the laws are strict.
