Sean Goldman abduction story by NBC Timeline

Last night, NBC Timeline had a story of abduction and recovery of Sean Goldman. His father David spent 5 years fighting his Brazilian wife and family in recovering abducted son back home to New Jersey.   The boy returned home 2 years ago in a big media frenzy instigated by his Brazilian abductors and media.

Both David and his son were finally able to speak about the events and give answers to questions that most abducted children and left behind parents go through. Most of the abductions don’t end with happy endings (my children and I are examples of that), but the story itself was very helpful to me.

Mother facing extradition from UK for abducting 3 children

Posted on February 22, 2012 | 2 Comments

A piece of good news from the US government. It seems that the State Department is getting serious about tracking down international child abductors, and bringing them to justice, even when they they happen to be mothers.

In today’s Daily Mail article we can read about the story about Eileen Clark, 54,  who fled to  Britain with her three children nearly 15 years ago and lived there ‘openly’. Her children are now adults (24,22 and 19) and object the extradition … obviously another example of Parental Alienation Syndrome.

As usual, there are some politicians in U.K. who claim that the extradition treaty between England and U.S.  is being “abused”, again !!!!  Really, I ask?  It seems that they are ONLY interested in extradition of Republican politicians,even president George W. Bush (you know , the so called “war criminal” ). Disgusting indeed.

Some Japanese mothers have discovered the proverbial “what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander” experience. Unlike most of the Japanese society, these mothers want their government to join the Hague Convention treaty to fight international child abductions.
In the latest article published in Japan Times Natusko Fukue reports on some mothers pushing government of Japan on signing the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abductions:

Japanese mothers whose children were spirited away by their foreign husbands urged the government Thursday to sign the Hague Treaty to prevent cross-border parental child abductions. Continue reading →

Finland:Russia to sign Hague Convention

Posted on March 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

Russia seems to find finally the  wisdom  in accepting  the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction as a good thing. A report from Finland states, that Russia’s officials indicated the neo-Soviet state to sign, and later this year, ratify the treaty with Finland.

What prompted Russia’s the change of heart?  Probably the fact that Finland decided not to take any crap for the Ruskies any more:

There are three child abduction disputes pending between Finland and Russia. The best-known case, which began three years ago, involves a boy named Anton. Continue reading →

Dad Gets His Daughters Back After Mom Abducts Them

The article Dad, kids Poland-bound after rulings (Chicago Tribune, 4/26/06) discusses an international abduction case in which a divorcing Polish mother abducted her two daughters to the United States, disappearing with the girls without even telling the dad. I hear of these nightmarish cases all the time and it seems that, regardless of what the law says, it is difficult for dads to win. In this case, family law attorney Jeff Leving scored a big victory, getting the dad his kids back and righting the wrong. According to the Tribune: Continue reading →
