KATE BAGGOTT and her two children live in a tiny converted attic in a village near Frankfurt. Ms Baggott, who is Canadian, has a temporary residence permit and cannot work or receive benefits. The trio arrived in Germany in October, after a Canadian court order gave them a day's notice to get on the plane. Ms Baggott's ex-husband, a Canadian living in Germany, had revoked his permission for the children's move to Canada after they had been there nearly a year, alleging "parental child abduction". A German court has given Ms Baggott full custody, but she must stay until an appeal is over.
