Lola
How a disturbed, drug-addicted woman hijacked the justice system using bizarre false allegations to deny her husband contact with his children.

My son was taken in by the classic immigration scam – a one-night stand, pregnancy, false violence accusations and bingo, his child’s mother gained permanent residency.
