Parents accused of abandoning their 14-year-old son at a boarding school in Ghana over fears of gang involvement in London have been granted permission to leave him there, a judge has ruled.

The teenager took legal action against his parents, seeking to return to his home in London, and claimed they had โ€œphysically and emotionally abandonedโ€ him.

His parents suspected he had become involved with a gang, but his lawyers described him as โ€œvery polite and articulateโ€ with a strong interest in football and cooking.

The boy, who remains unnamed for legal reasons, contacted the British Consulate and a child welfare organization after his parents enrolled him at the school and flew back to England without him.

He alleged that his parents misled him, saying they were traveling to care for an ill relative, and packed only a few of his belongings.

He further claimed that he is receiving โ€œinadequateโ€ food and education at the school and is being โ€œmistreated.โ€ (Vanguard)
