∙ 14y agoIn the UK, a child whose guardian is the High Court. Any person may, by issuing proceedings, make the High Court guardian of any child within its jurisdiction. No important step in the child's life can then be taken without the court's leave. In other words..a child who is the subject of a bitter divorce ,or there is a serious risk that the child will be abducted by one parent and taken abroad,is made a subject to a "ward of Court". === ===
