Inspectors from the Ministry of Justice are arriving in L'Aquila to investigate the case of the family in the woods . Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the news, once again criticizing the magistrates' decision to separate the mother from her three children . These decisions are "also the result of ideological interpretations" and inflict "another very serious trauma" on those children , she told Fuori dal Coro on Rete 4, announcing that "Minister Nordio is sending an inspection; I spoke to him yesterday." The investigation at Via Arenula had already begun in November, coinciding with the order suspending the parental responsibility of the Anglo-Australian couple. At the time, it was limited to examining the documentation, but the minister has now decided to send inspectors to the Juvenile Court in L'Aquila. Tonino Cantelmi, the expert who coordinates the Birmingham-Trevallion family's team of psychologists, also believes that the decision to remove mother Catherine represents a "wrong" and "dangerous" path that risks leading the "forest children" to adoption.

On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announced in a Facebook post that he will visit the Anglo-Australian couple next week , "not as a prime minister or a minister, but as a father and a parent disgusted by this form of institutionalized violence," he said. And today, the Regional Ombudsman for Children visited the family home to ask that the children not leave the facility where they have been housed for four months. "We are making sure the children do not leave this facility." The transfer of the children—ordered by the Juvenile Court of L'Aquila—is one of the key issues lawyers Marco Femminella and Danila Solinas are working on. Some family homes, in fact, would like to avoid the spotlight, while others are said to be incompatible with the parents' need to see their children because they are too far from the home where Catherine and Nathan currently live, not far from the now-infamous "house in the woods." The judges' order, however, is clear: the children must be moved elsewhere , and therefore, if the decision were to be made to leave them there, a new provision would be required.

Furthermore, in the next few hours, Nathan and Catherine's lawyers will file an appeal with the Court of Appeal to suspend the order , subsequently relaunching their call for family reunification. "It is an absolutely paltry provision that leaves it to someone we consider unfit for his role to manage a situation that I believe has gotten out of hand—yet another attack by Solinas—and which fails to take into account the objective difficulties faced by minors today who have been deprived of a mother figure of reference, considered by neuropsychiatry to be an important and fundamental figure in their development." "With this shocking order," psychiatrist Cantelmi added, "we have, in my opinion, taken the wrong and even dangerous path. It is no coincidence that the indignation and dismay are almost unanimous. We must have the courage to say it: such harsh procedures make sense to take the path of adoption." "Common sense," she emphasized, "would have suggested that this family should be reunited and monitored by a local health and social care team, entrusted to competent professionals. Instead, a shocking order has been issued that also bans the mother from the children's lives." Today, as she had done on Saturday, Catherine has decided to stay in the farmhouse in the woods, alongside her sister, who continues to reiterate the state of "shock" experienced by the "woods mother" and the entire family. Father Nathan, however, has returned to visit his children at the foster home, even bringing two stuffed animals as gifts for the little ones. "I can't comment," he said, "you can speak to the lawyers." Then they had lunch at the facility, played a few games together, and said goodbye before returning to the woods, to be with his wife.
