His parents are separated, and he was living with his father in Kent when he disappeared late last year.

The judge, who is based in the Family Division of the High Court in London, is overseeing private hearings centred on Emmanuel.

He said, at a hearing on December 17, that Emmanuel had been found in Germany and was back in Britain.   

The child lived with his father under court orders and it was agreed he would be spending the weekend of November 30 and December 1, 2019, with his mother.

At the end of the weekend, Emmanuel’s mother, a German national, did not return him. 

Justice Peel had ruled that Emmanuel could be identified in media reports and called on anyone with information to contact police.
