it was the mother who took the children on holiday to Australia and refused to return them to their Italian father, so it could be argued that it was the mother that shipped the children to another country to live with a parent they hardly knew.

And so two wrongs make a right huh? We need to stop over-complicating things here... the children are the most important factor here. If we focus too much on which parent is right and which is wrong we lose sight of what is actually best for these children right here and now. And the answer is clear...
Seven Network footage shows the girls screaming "no" and resisting before they are put in two cars.
Their mother banged on the rear window of one vehicle as it drove off.
She ran after the car and then collapsed to the ground sobbing.

The problem I have with this issue is the way the police handled the girls. It was distressing and quite disgusting to watch.

But the mother has caused all of this with her selfishness and now the people suffering are the children.
She should be prosecuted.

Do you personally know the family? Do you know for absolute certain that the father isn't some sort of closet-monster who hides it very well in public?

From what I hear the mother FLED him with the children, meaning they feared for their safety - and of course the father would deny it wouldn't he?

I do know that the Italian family court, which was in possession of more facts and evidence than you or I, awarded the father custody.
Since then, the mother has certainly tried to portray the father as some sort of closet-monster.
Apparently, she took them from Italy to Australia, with the father's consent, for a holiday and then refused to return them.
If the father is such a monster, why has he fought for 2 years to get his daughters back? He must love them very much.

Do you really think the Italian courts aren't susceptible to corruption and pay-offs in the country that invented the Mafia - which is still going strong there by the way?

Sounds like a perfect example of a scared mother using any excuse to get herself and her children away from a monster. It even has precedence in many cases.

Seriously? Do you have any evidence to substantiate your allegation rather than just throwing out accusations?
The father agreed that she could take the children on holiday to Australia and then she refused to return them.
To attempt to portray the mother as "a scared mother using any excuse to get herself and her children away from a monster" is not consistent with the verifiable facts.

The judge made a direction based on the law.I believe as a father of children the judge made a wise direction.
The father has rights too and the mother disregarded these rights and will learn the lessons she needs to learn
In the long term the children will understand what has transpired
