Italian court approves gradual reunification of children taken from off-grid couple

A juvenile court in L'Aquila has approved gradual reunification for three children removed in November 2025 from a British-Australian couple living off-grid in Abruzzo. Daytime home visits begin immediately; weekend overnight stays start in October, pending a social services assessment. The removal order had drawn condemnation from PM Meloni and Deputy PM Salvini, while the judiciary defended it on welfare grounds.
