Decision of the District Court for Warszawa Praga-Południe of September 30th 2013 ended a 10 week lasting drama of Katarzyna Boryc and her family. Two of her children, taken away by the police in July 2013, were released from wrongly ordered foster care. This family tragedy occurred without prior judgment of the court and with flagrant violation of the law by the social care staff and police officers. In early September Ordo Iuris launched its lawsuit intervention program leading before the end of the month to a successful end.

Lawyers are analyzing ways of drawing the legal consequences to persons who are responsible for this flagrant misconduct.
