Abbreviating a long sorry story.
My son and daughter-in-law with under 12 month old grandson moved to HK for his work.
Due to some very poor lifestyle choices and if we are to accept his argument, poor treatment in his job, he was sacked.
further bad choices saw him rack up some debt, and then an emergency hospital stay for wife added to that debt. Daughter in law did not have a dependant visa.
Helper, who we hold in high regard, informed us she could no longer live in this environment. She was full time, day and night child caring. She said she cannot leave the baby in the care of his parents and would have to report the situation to the authorities.
My wife hightailed it to HK. The helper told my son and daughter in law that she couldn't stay any longer. Fortunately my daughter in law recognised that she and my son would not be able to care for our grandson without help and asked if she could return with my wife. She is now making positive steps to improve her situation while living with us.
Back in HK the debt collectors turned up. According to my son, via a verbal tirade text, they saw the boxes my wife had packed on his behalf but against his will and believing he planned to do a runner, produced a court order to seize his possessions and send them to auction. They also apparently have him under guard in his apartment.
So that is where things are at. I'd like to know what will likely happen next. My son will not communicate with us and although he does with his wife, he doesnt include any details. What a mess. Any insight would be appreciated.
