SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGES PINHEIRO FARINHA, PETTITI, WALSH,
RUSSO AND DE MEYER
We take the view that the decisions at issue themselves, as well as their implementation, unjustifiably
interfered with the right of the applicants to respect for their family life.
We feel that it cannot be accepted that children can be taken away from their parents without a prior
judicial decision, save in cases of emergency.
Moreover, we believe that it has not been shown that in the present case such a measure was really
"necessary in a democratic society".
