How A Mother Rescued Her Own Children

The Real-Life Lebanon Saga Of Melissa Hawach

It's one of the most gripping news stories of the week. A Canadian mother had to fly to Lebanon to ``steal’’ her children back, after several legal twists and challenges. If the experiences of Melissa Hawach were not so real, so harrowing and so heart-wrenching, you would dismiss them as implausible fiction.
Read all about it, in an exclusive story by Sandra Lee, on the website of Australia’s top-selling newspaper, the Herald Sun. It is the second part of a series, following on from the report by Tony Vermeer in the Sunday Herald Sun.
The unresolved legal battle between Melissa and Joseph Hawach for formal custody of their daughters has raged through civil and criminal courts in three countries. She even had to spend 60 days in hiding in Lebanon with her children, before she reached the safety of Canadian soil.
