Game Of Thrones actor has baby ‘snatched’ in Israel

A Game of Thrones actor has accused Israeli social services of kidnapping her baby.

Josephine Gillan claims her eight month old daughter was taken in the dead of night by social workers in the Middle Eastern country, The Sun reports.

Her child was being looked after by her friend while she underwent therapy for postnatal depression.

The Brit actor, who played Marei the prostitute in the fantasy drama, was seeking help on the orders of the Israeli social services.

A video uploaded by the actor shows her child, Gloria, being carried away by a woman, flanked by two uniformed men.

Whoever is filming the incident can be heard yelling at the social workers as the group make their way into a waiting car and drive off.

Taking to Twitter Josephine said: “The disturbing moment that the #Israeli #socialservices kidnapped my baby! At 12:30pm at night on Sunday!

“My friend pleaded! But was threatened (with) jail if she did not hand over my baby! me & loving friend and her family! We are all heartbroken!

“Nothing but sick twisted #socialworkers #socialservices trying to ruin lives and separate a baby from its mother that hasn’t done anything wrong! They kidnapped my baby!!!”

Josephine later posted a GoFundMe to raise money for a legal team to help her challenge the decision.
