Beth Alexander’s family centre withdraws visitation service
The British Jewish mother of twin boys in Austria is worried that she has seen them for the last time, after the only family centre facilitating visitation handovers withdrew its service.
Beth Schlesinger (née Alexander) finally lost her three year custody battle in Vienna last month and family members have warned that this week’s visit could be the last time she sees her sons.
“The family centre has refused to continue any further visitation handover and Austrian Chief Rabbi Eisenberg’s offer has been refused,” said Beth’s brother Adrian Alexander.
“So as it stands Tuesday is Beth’s last ever contact with her own children.”
