Anytime you deal with custody cases, there are going to be problems. It actually happens even just here in the states fairly often, where one of the parents "seizes" custody of the child, and the other is left scrambling with the courts. This is complicated even further by the fact that it must be dealt with in international courts, and also by the fact that the mother is the "abductor".
Most courts grant the mother the benefit of the doubt when it comes to custody, even in cases where it isn't necessarily in the child's best interest. Some countries even grant that custody to the mother regardless...4 years is a very long time when it comes to kids, but not so bad when it comes to international court battles... bringseanhome.org/ bringseanhome.org/letter.html.
In a letter from Goldman that Smith read to the media, the father thanked those who helped him reunite with his son. "I am grateful for the so many truly amazing and wonderful people who have put forth an extraordinary and tremendous effort to reunite our family with our beautiful Sean. Please know that my love and the rest of Sean's family's love for him knows no boundaries and we will go to the ends of the Earth to protect him and shower him with every ounce of love that we have," Goldman wrote.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a statement saying she is "thrilled" the father and son finally reunited. "I want to thank everyone who helped bring this long process to a successful conclusion, including a number of members of Congress and many concerned parties both here and in Brazil. We also appreciate the assistance and cooperation of the government of Brazil in upholding its obligations under the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction.
I offer my warmest wishes for father and son as they celebrate their first holiday season together in five years," Clinton said. Wednesday a Brazilian court ruled that Sean was to be turned over to his father by 9 a.m. The boy's Brazilian family decided to give up its fight for custody of Sean following Tuesday's court ruling that he must be returned to his father.
Sean's maternal grandmother, Silvana Bianchi, told ABC News that her grandson does not want to leave Brazil. "He said he is very sad because he does not want to, and he is very sad because he had, he has the right to speak and to explain himself, but the judge here cut his right," Bianchi said. The grandmother said she continued to fight for custody of Sean because he wanted to stay with his family in Brazil.
"He wanted to stay with us. Now I want … him to be happy.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
