Hong Kong parents may lose battle over daughter Lily amid fight for baby Danny

Hong Kong social welfare authorities have classified baby Danny as a “high-risk” child and recommended he remain in protective care, while Sweden has moved to permanently transfer custody of his elder sister Lily to a foster family, according to the children’s parents.The developments come ahead of a hearing at West Kowloon Juvenile Court on Friday over a protection order for Danny, the two-month-old whose home birth and delayed registration triggered a child neglect investigation earlier this month.The parents said on Thursday that Swedish authorities had yet to arrange Lily’s return to Hong Kong despite a final deportation order issued by the country’s Migration Court of Appeal in 2024. Instead, they said, authorities had moved to permanently transfer custody to a Swedish foster couple.
