ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The President of the Senate Ignazio The Russian received today at Palazzo Giustiniani Catherine Birmingham and Nathan Trevallion, the parents of the so-called “family in the woods”. “It was a pleasure for me to receive Nathan and Catherine, it was my intention to try to coat the climate that was created around this affair. I have neither title nor intention of questioning the measures of the judicial authority, nor do I want to judge the way of life of Nathan and Catherine – said Russian –. What I hope can be useful and invite everyone, with my moral responsibility, to eliminate the rigidities of all, so as to encourage as much as possible the return to a united family, as you wish, with the children who, as it is natural, can be with the father and with the mother, after normal conditions are assured. I am very pleased to have learned that on your part there is no objection to children being able to attend the afterschool, that the house may have the toilets that are required and in essence that you approach very much those conditions necessary for a living. I am firmly convinced that there is no greater happiness for children than to be with their father and their mother. It is what I wish you and that I hope it is possible to eliminate all the existing rigidities.”.
“After months of complete silence Nathan and I want to express our sincere gratitude to anyone who has supported us on long and difficult days full of pain and sadness for our children.” So Catherine Birmingham, visibly moved, reading in front of the media and next to her husband Nathan Trevallion a letter after meeting the president of the Senate. “We chose Italy because it had the same values that we wanted to grow our children with, that is, the family, love, being together, living and eating in a natural way and more than all an existence full of love and peace where people support – he continues –. We lived in peace and harmony, lived in compliance with the laws of the Italian State and Constitution, and we never hurt our children, we never deprived them of their needs and never harmed our neighbors, our commune and the land we live in.”.
“We have always been respectful of laws and rules, and have never judged, quarreled, nor have we ever instilled in our children hate or trust in the leaders and legal and institutional authorities around us – says Catherine Birmingham. We have chosen our lives in a clear and conscious way, strong of our journeys, our education and our experiences. Like a mother and a father who worship their children, who have always acted in the awareness and knowledge of what was right for them, while aware of not being perfect or possessing absolute truths, being targeted and attacked in the way we were, goes beyond our understanding. We have brought our truth and our continuous commitment to be the respectful and loving parents we are. With this truth we came here to tend a hand, to ask to be heard and to ask to be a family again.”.
