    The fact the passport had just arrived in the post and was on the table was left out of the OP and changes things dramatically. The father has done no wrong - yet all of a sudden he is a child abductor !!!!!!.

    I would of done the same.

    I'd have deleted the photo and then told him to leave.

    No, you wouldn't. It needs a court order to require a photograph to be deleted from a camera (contrary to what some ill-informed police officers assert to members of the public).

    You could certainly have told him to leave though.

    You didn't read my post properly. I didn't say I would tell them to delete it. If they didn't like that I'd taken the phone and deleted the image they'd be more than welcome to call the police and explain why they were interfering with post addressed to ME and taking photos of the contents whilst in MY home. The fact they are an ex partner doesn't make their actions any less illegal or make it justifiable.

    Maybe because you are the only one over dramatizing

    Of course I am, as are those who posted the following
    She should talk to a solicitor about a Prohibited Steps Order.
    Is it worth pre-empting any attempts at abduction by informing the police?
    I'd have no hesitation in giving him a kick in the b*llocks and tell him to clear off,
    I think in certain circumstances the police would be very interested i
    Due to concerns for the child, you can report the incident yourself to either the NSPCC for advice or Social Services
    That is correct but the thread isn't about PR it's about a passport and potential abduction

    All those quotes are in reply to the OPs post and the worry of potential abduction, nobody has over dramatized at all.....This is a genuine fear the mother has and appropriate advice given to help prevent it happening.
    Should we all tell her to shut up and put up or offer constructive advice?

    You can't possibly know what duchy would or wouldn't do....My money would be on her doing exactly that.
