Overview
- The juvenile court in L’Aquila has summoned the parents for a December 4 hearing, where judges may review, modify or revoke the removal order for their three children, who are currently in a Vasto care facility.
- The family’s new attorneys filed an urgent six-point appeal seeking immediate suspension of the order; the Court of Appeal has up to 60 days and has set a hearing for December 16.
- Father Nathan Trevallion signed a no‑cost use agreement and moved into a house offered by restaurateur Armando Carusi, while mother Catherine Birmingham is staying with the children and says she will leave only with them.
- Local supporters offered free renovations to the rural casolare, but the Palmoli mayor says no formal renovation filing has reached the municipality yet; a volunteer plan outlines added sanitary facilities and safety upgrades.
- The case has drawn national focus as a similar removal surfaced in Caprese Michelangelo (Arezzo), where authorities cite missing home‑education procedures and health checks, underscoring wider tensions over homeschooling and welfare oversight.
