Abstract

This chapter tells of the events that transpired in Australia whilst Dr Langley was living in exile in her host country: The corrupt judge issued a warrant for her arrest for not attending the final trial at the Family Court of Australia. The police relayed this information to Dr Langley via email and insisted she divulge her whereabouts to them or else they would permanently close her case and cease all investigations into Rob and his criminal family (despite six years’ worth of evidential statements Dr Langley provided to them). Despite these, Dr Langley managed to find a homeschool tutor for Cayden, was sexually assaulted by a perverted distant relative who pretended to care for her and Cayden and continued to battle bureaucratic red tape surrounding living arrangements and visas in her host country. After several months, Dr Langley finally managed to obtain a rental apartment for her and Cayden and moved in, beginning their new lives in their host country. Dr Langley lived underground but also networked and made connections with several prominent people, one of whom was a human rights lawyer, who advised that her and Cayden would qualify for UNHCR protection and submitted an application on their behalf.
