I imagine the social services are already working on a plan to put the other kids into care.

The parents were arrested under the authority of the European Arrest Warrant. Normally a tool used to stop terrorists and major criminals fleeing across borders. There is no provision for bail until certain criteria are met. Yesterdays fiasco was because the CPS submitted all the papers in English and it was s Spanish judge presiding with a poor understanding of English.

He remanded in custody to get a better understanding of what the case was about and waited for documents to be translated.
