Re an application by Gloucestershire County Council for the committal to prison of Newman [2014] EWHC 3136 (Fam), [2014] All ER (D) 50 (Oct)
N’s son was put into foster care and orders were made by the court compelling N to take down the son’s Facebook page and forbidding him from harassing social workers concerned with the case. N made posts on the Facebook page and sent messages to social workers. The Family Division held that N was clearly in contempt of court and granted the local authority’s application for his committal to prison.
