		</div><p>A five-year-old girl whose case made headlines after she was placed with foster carers who were not a cultural match could end up living abroad with a foreign grandmother, a family court judge has said.</p>
<p>Judge Khatun Sapnara says she might conclude that the little youngster should live with her mother&#8217;s mother &#8211; and she said the grandmother wanted to return to her country of origin.</p>
<p>The judge has decided that the youngster should move from a foster placement to her grandmother&#8217;s home temporarily pending further analysis of evidence.</p>
<p>Social services staff had assessed the grandmother as a suitable long-term carer, said the judge.</p>
<p>The girl&#8217;s mother wanted to &#8220;resume the care of her daughter&#8221; as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Judge Sapnara has released an eight-page written order she made following a private hearing in the East London Family Court on Tuesday.</p>
<p>That document reveals some of the background to the case and outlines stances taken by the girl&#8217;s mother and social workers.</p>
<p>The judge said the little girl could not be identified but she has named Tower Hamlets Council as the local authority with welfare responsibilities for the youngster.</p>
<p>Judge Sapnara said the case had a complex history and background.</p>
<p>The girl&#8217;s mother said her family had a Christian heritage but the judge said there was evidence that the mother&#8217;s parents had a Muslim background.</p>
<p>The judge said the little girl was placed with foster carers on an emergency basis in March as a result of police exercising powers of protection.</p>
<p>She said there had been &#8220;no culturally matched foster placement&#8221; available at the time.</p>
<p>Judge Sapnara said the girl&#8217;s mother raised some concerns about the appropriateness of foster carers.</p>
<p>She said social services staff disputed allegations made against foster carers and produced a statement addressing the &#8220;cultural appropriateness&#8221; of the foster placement.</p>
<p>A guardian had been appointed to independently represent the little girl and had no concerns as to the child&#8217;s welfare, said the judge.</p>
