Hello everyone. I'm going to try and keep this as simple as possible for your convenience:
My cousin is 15 years old, and is diagnosed with all sorts of mental disorders. When she was 1.5 years old, her birth mother abandoned her and my uncle. Eventually my uncle remarried, and my new aunt took care of my cousin since then. The family then moved to Canada from South Korea about two years ago with a work visa to seek better opportunities. However at the end of January this year, my uncle passed away from pancreatic cancer after being diagnosed 2 months prior, and this inevitably took a huge toll on my cousin. My other aunts suggested that my cousin be taken back into Korea to receive treatment and so that she could start attending school (she has not been going to school in Canada because she refused to go due to the language barrier).
The birth mother was notified of my uncle's death, and heard of her daughter's entry into Korea. She then gathered some of her relatives and some of the local police, barged into my aunt's home in Korea, and forcibly took my cousin away. This may be considered unlawful in Canada, but in Korea, this is completely okay because the birth mother gets all the rights. The day my cousin got taken away by this lunatic was also the day my cousin found out that she was her birth mother; this also had a negative impact on my cousin.
Today I found out that the birth mother had left her in a sanitarium in Korea. We found out because my cousin has been calling us from Korea to Canada with a cellphone which is registered under another relative's account. We tracked the phone number's location and received the address. When we googled the address, we got a sanitarium.
My cousin is not in the state of mind to be left at a cold-hearted sanitarium. She needs to be in the care of her close family members where she can get the treatment she needs and most important of all, love. She's been calling us, bawling every time, telling us that she wants to come back home to us. My mother has been calling lawyer after lawyer in Korea, however none of them are even willing to help us because of the way the Korean law is set up.
So the only way I could think of was to apply my cousin as a refugee, back to Canada so she can be with the mother who's been taking care of her, so she can receive proper care and treatment. As of this moment, her conditions are getting worse and worse. I am seriously concerned for her health and we need to bring her back here in the fastest way possible.
I sincerely hope that someone could assist me on how to go on about this process. Any thoughts, advice, or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you for reading this.
