Judge shares touching letter he wrote to two boys after parents' vicious custody battle

A heartbreaking letter that a judge wrote to two boys whose parents were involved in a bitter custody battle has been published.

Judge John McKendrick said that he'd told the boys' parents to "behave a bit better" and "stop the crap" in a letter explaining to the brothers, aged eight and 11, why he ruled that they could not live full-time with their mum.

The judge had been asked to decide whether the boys should continue living in London and splitting their time between both of their parents, or whether they should be allowed to move to Somerset with their mother.
