Mia Danielsson, 28 years old, has now been reunited with her son Thor, 17 months, said the orphanage said last night. The mother and her little boy are now protected by guards from the American Deparment of Foreign Affairs.

– The only thing we prioritise are Mia’s and Thor’s safety, says Gunilla Dahlin at the Swedish Embassy in Guatemala.

Yesterday evening, Swedish time, the case with the abducted boy Thor took a dramatic turn. Information came that Mia Danielsson and her lawyer Marco Tulio Mérida Cifuentes  were permitted to state the case at the family court in Chimaltenango.

– I cannot offer any comments right now, says the Swedish woman’s lawyer when Expressen spoke to him at midnight.

According to information to Expressen, Thor was collected at the orphanage Hanna’s Hope by Mia’s lawyer and another person at 2.00 pm local time.

– It was the lawyer Marco Tuilo Mérida Cifuentes and another person who came and collected the boy.
– They had a court order to collect Thor and, as far as I know, he has now been reunited with his mother, says the orphanage’s female director, Alejandra Diaz, to Expressen.
– They could not tell were they were going due to security reasons.

Fears for her safety
Mia Danielsson said earlier during the day that she fears for her and her son’s safety.

– I have guards protecting me from the American Deparment of Foreign Affairs. If I get Thor back, my ex-husband will become desperate. I fear for my life, she said hours before the court proceedings.

The Swedish Embassy have, together with the American Deparment of Foreign Affairs, produced a safety plan that was activated when Mia was reunited with Thor.

Safe house
The Swedish woman will stay at a safe house before she is taken out of Guatemala and returned to Sweden.

Mia’s soon to be ex-husband kidnapped the son after that a court in Los Angeles given the Swedish woman full custody. Thor was taken by car through Mexico to Guatemala were American authorities managed to track him down. Last week Mia Danielsson travelled to Guatemala City. Her soon to be ex-husband has tried to create a custody case, but the court rejected this request and chose to reunite Thor with his mother.
