Lisbon [Portugal] / Paris [France], May 27: Two brothers, aged four and five, who were abandoned in Portugal by their mother and stepfather, are set to be returned to France. A family court in Portugal's Setúbal district said on Tuesday, according to Portuguese media reports, that a provisional decision had been taken to place the children under the care of social services in Colmar, north-eastern France.
It added that the children's return will be coordinated between Portuguese and French authorities, with the aim of causing "minimal harm" to their best interests. French authorities are also assessing whether relatives or other suitable guardians could take responsibility for the boys, the reports added. (dpa)
