6 year old Nathan Skillen, an ordinary British boy who attends primary school in West London has been stranded for 4 months in the Philippines. He doesn't know why his mother has not come to collect him.

British police have prevented Nathans mother Marisel Skillen a British National from collecting him by confiscating their passports when she missed a routine court appearance related to an on going custody battle with his father Eric Skillen who also lives in the UK.

Now after 4 months and no end in sight the British police seem to have forgotten that a little 6 year old boy is stranded without his mother or father in a foreign country miles away from home.

The British Police have been un-able to negotiate with the Filipino government and co-ordinate Nathan's return to his mother or father or friends until the custody case gets resolved. This ludicrous bureaucratic nightmare could last years!

The boy is 6 years old and has lived his entire life in the UK. He needs and wants to be with his mother at home in the UK. What ever the outcome of the custody battle he should not be left to to be forgotten alone in a foreign country whilst the British courts thrash out his fate.

Please help Nathan return to his home in the UK by signing our petition to make the British Police and courts remember his existence. He is scared and wants to come home. His mother is desperate. His father wants him home too.

Every authority seems to blame someone else and we have been faced with brick walls and blank faces. We ask the police to please allow Nathan to have his passport back so he can leave the Philippines and return to his Mother and return to his school in west London.

If you are an organization or individual with specialist advice that may be able to help please do get in touch and leave a comment so we can contact you. We need and welcome any advice at all no matter how small.

We the undersigned ask that Nathan Skillen a 6 year old boy stranded in the Phillipines be given his passport back so he can be collected by a neutral person and returned to his home in the UK where his fate can then be decided.
