A friend hit rock bottom..needs urgent help, anyone have any ideas?

[Childcare18]

Okay ... The back story is this , I have a friend currently living in turkey with a abusive husband, and two 6 year olds twin boys who are high on the autisic spectrum. Her Turkish residency permit has now expired and turkey have declined her a new one which means she needs to go back to the UK.shes already overstayed 20 days.

The issue is her husband isn't letting her go, and she has no money of her own to go back to the UK. Anyone know if she just turns up to the airport will she get support ie , somewhere to stay , money , etc?

The other issue is she doesn't know how she will travel with her boys by herself. They live a very solitary life in a village in Istanbul for the last 5 years , they don't leave the house much as the boys run off onto the road or other dangerous areas. They have no awareness of risk and if they see something they are interested in , they will just run to it. Anyone have any experience with having autisic children on a flight ? Going through an airport? Any advice to her? Do airport offer anything to support families with additional needs such as this? She's planning on flying into London Stansted btw.

Is she allowed, by the local law, to remove the children from the country?
Is there a British Consulate there who could advise? Or a local charity for women who could explain her options?

As mentioned above I think the British Consul would be the fist call. Without even addressing the issue of the children’s needs, I’d have a massive fear that turning up at the airport would land her in some kind of detention situation due to her expired visa.
what an awful situation to be in

@childcare18 I needed to seek some Turkish law advice regarding some property in Turkey. I spoke to a lovely English/Turkish solicitor based in London who knew both Turkish and English law. Google Turkish lawyers UK and you'll find quite a few. Maybe speak to them and they can advise. Also the Turkish consulate in Istanbul should be able to help. It's in the European side of Istanbul if she can visit in person.

Solely in terms of travelling with two autistic children, the best solution through the airport will be reins. I appreciate that some parents don’t like them, but they’re the best way to keep children safe in that sort of busy environment.

At security she needs to ask someone from security to hold onto the children whilst she goes through the scanner, then call them through to her one at a time. If she can get some sunflower lanyards for them that will help as she can skip the queue. Familiar food, toys and screens will also help.

I appreciate this is hard if she is moving, but as little luggage as possible will also be really helpful, so that she has her hands free for the kids. Can she take absolute minimum stuff in one small backpack? And ship the remainder of her luggage back seperately?

Can her family in the uK help? Go and get her and travel back with her? If not her family then the people she will be staying with back in the UK.

She has no help from her family unfortunately, the British embassy have said she won't have a issue taking the boys out herself as they only have a UK passport , no other nationality.

She can request special assistance for example skipping queues. Can you go out and fly back with her?

Has she got somewhere to stay when she arrives in the UK.
