Isn't the step dad and that whole family pretty high up in politics in Brazil too? Or the step dad or step grandfather are high powered attorneys? I can't remember exactly but there's something like that that they're using to find loop holes and using their connections to keep him there.

Yeah. I'm pulling so hard for this guy. This kid needs to be back in the U.S. In the article they were talking about easing in the transition but that it
will take awhile for that motion to even be approved.

I think it's bull that the boy is still there. He should have been returned [or custody should have been worked out] when she first fled there, or at the
very least when she passed away. Not forever later. ugh.

I think it's wrong that he's still there but I'm not going to condemn the mother for taking her son with her. We have NO clue what happened between
the parents. We only have the father's side of things.

Actually, there are recordings of her talking to David on the phone and saying how great things were between them and how she was happy and everything.

Actually we have the legal side of things. The US courts ruled it was a parental kidnapping and the mother was supposed to return the son under the
requirements of the Hague Convention. Basically nations that submit to the Hague must respect custody rulings of sister countries. It is a way to avoid the
very real danger of parental kidnapping, when one parent travels with a child they do not have legal custody of to a country that has no extradition
requirements with the USA.
This case is extraordinary because 1, the child was parentally kidnapped by his mother. 2, the mother died and the stepfather is now refusing to return the child and 3, the only person who has legal custody is the father who has been thwarted for five years. |

What I don't understand is that, they were NEVER legally DIVORCED! So, um.. why would the step-father get custody of a child he couldn't legally adopt
anyway?

I hope that cunt is burning in hell and her family and that prick of a new husband she left behind get their comeuppance for the shit they're pulling on
this guy. Although I heard this morning that after the sentence was denied, that the families both agreed to meet. For what? Those fuckers need to just hand
the boy over.
