Hi,
You might be interested in the article of mine published in On Line Opinion regarding the court case of gifted child Gracia MalaxEtxebarria.
http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=8083&page=0

The article explores the issues around gifted education (in Australia), the problems with implementation of gifted education policies and legal context. The legal system in Australia is not much used for addressing the issues of gifted education as the issues are not well understood by the legal fraternity.

A trip to the United Nations by the family involved would certainly be an opportunity for education.
