Family in the woods, the children return to the farmhouse after 11 months

The three children will spend the weekend with their parents between the Palmoli farmhouse and the house made available by the Municipality. The reunion took place this morning amidst hugs and emotion, while for the lawyer Simone Pillon it is a new step towards the definitive return to the family.

Almost eleven months after their removal, the children of the family in the woods returned to the Palmoli farmhouse to spend a weekend with their parents, Nathan and Catherine. This morning the couple reached the family home in Vasto, where they were able to hug their children again before returning to the Abruzzo town. The family will remain in the farmhouse until the afternoon. Subsequently they will move to the house made available by the Municipality of Palmoli where they will remain until 6pm tomorrow.

The hug after months

Just before 10am, Nathan and Catherine showed up at the facility housing the children. "They literally flew into the arms of mum and dad full of joy, then they got into the car with them carrying their little trolleys and the whole family left for Palmoli. It was wonderful to see the happiness in their eyes and to hear Nathan and Catherine finally serene and happy", said the lawyer Simone Pillon, the family's defender.

From the farmhouse to the municipality house

"Given the beautiful day, they will spend a few hours with their animals and then this afternoon they will go to the Municipality house, where they will spend the night - Pillon further explained -. Tomorrow afternoon they will then return to Vasto always accompanied by mum and dad". The lawyer also reported Nathan's first words after the reunion: "It's the best day in a year."

A step towards the definitive return

According to the lawyer, the new meeting represents "a further important step in the direction of the definitive return which we hope can be ordered as soon as possible. We thank the mayor who guaranteed the usual measures and the journalists who were able to respect the privacy of the family, as requested by us. It is also right to underline the important role played by the institutions in this affair, starting from the visit of the deputy prime minister Salvini and then gradually the interest of the president Marsilio, the councilor Santangelo, the guarantor of childhood Terragni and the president of the childhood commission Brambilla".
