A British father says he may never see his six-year-old son again after the boy’s mother took him to Peru. Asim Hanif, 48, from West London, says his son, Aidan, was effectively removed from the UK in 2024 by his Peruvian-born mother, Karen Perales, and that he has faced severe emotional distress since then.

The account describes the father arguing that relevant authorities have not been able to take effective action to secure the child’s return. The report frames the situation as one in which officials say they are “powerless to act,” leaving the father concerned about the ongoing outcome and his ability to regain contact with the child.

Across the coverage provided, the central points remain the same: the alleged removal to Peru occurred in 2024, the child is now six, and the father is seeking intervention but says authorities cannot act.
