The Daily News reports Ruzan never wanted her husband and son to leave and that she didn’t have much of a choice. She recently posted on her Facebook page that Forrest took their son before she had decided whether to keep him.
“In the hardest moment of my life when my husband should be next to me and support and help to take the right decision, I could not find any support from his side,” “He left the hospital notifying me hours later that he was taking the kid with him, that he is going to leave the country for New Zealand and I do not have anything to do with the situation.”
According to the Daily Mail, Samuel Forrest has other four children from a previous marriage.
