Parents welcome confirmation of birth certificate, but custody still hinges on social workers’ review and home assessment
The unmarried parents of two‑month‑old Danny have obtained his birth certificate four days after their arrest on suspicion of child neglect, but they must still undergo home visits and other assessments before regaining custody of the infant.
Tsang Wai-bong and Kwan Pui-sin, arrived at the Immigration Department headquarters at 11.21am on Saturday after meeting government social workers regarding the guardianship of their son, who has been placed in a children’s shelter under a court order.
They received the birth certificate an hour later, which they then showed to the South China Morning Post.
