Fellow Fisherman Needs Help : Child Abduction

[Pfishingruven]

Now the Brazilian Supreme Court has ruled Sean has to stay and proceedings will not begin until February at the earliest!!

This is UNREAL !!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...

[Hotrod]

    This just makes me SICK!!!

[irenegade]

I think the appeal was expected given the past actions of this family, yet Capt. Dave went down to Brazil, and a congressman met him there as a show of support.  This family just won't quit. The logic escapes me, but they are privileged and obviously believe they are above the law.  I myself would have hired people to get Sean out of there and back home, but I guess Dave believed in the judicial system, and hoped that justice would prevail.  I work in the NYS court system, and cannot see any legal standing for that Brazilian family. Hopefully the Brazilian Gov't will not delay Sean's return.  It is a travesty and it's going on for far too long!

The step-dad and everyone else involved in keeping Sean there will one day rot in hell.

This is a criminal case, kidnapping. Let our government charge him accordingly. And why is our government not raising hell about this? Except for Chris Smith, they seem to be doing nothing.

Well,
There's another agonizing twist to the story!  They may come out with a ruling today, and not wait until after the holidays!

Maybe, just maybe....

Just heard on NJ News that the judge ruled for David Goldman. One step closer to getting Sean home where he belongs.

Hopefully, mother's family will not file another appeal and if they do the court immediately shoots it down.

Keeping my fingers crossed on this.

That's about all you can do anymore!

Yep Capt. Joe!
I'm trying to find out if they're on their way home.  I see Rod posted FB and Twitter links, but I can't access them from work.
I'll be googling and will post if I see anything!

I will be much relieved when he lands on American Soil!!

They act as though they will never see Sean again.  Mr Goldman has already said he would never do to Sean or his Brazilian Family what they had done to Sean and David.  He made it well known they will be able to see Sean.  Probably on American Soil and highly guarded, but, that's what happens when you abduct a child.

Not that it matters, as the important thing was that Sean was returned to David, but how come no criminal consequences came out of this case...he was still abducted and the grandparents were listed as suspects and accessories to the crime .

Now on to the more than 2800 other children that have been kidnapped and being held in foreign countries....

Brazilian Family Return Boy to NJ Dad

Great News.  But also very Sad .. for this young Man..  He' doesn't know any different

[irenegade]

 
I'm just waiting for the update that they are actually on a plane heading home!
It will be a major change and adjustment for Sean, but kids are resilient and smart, and he will realize not only that he's "Home", but will one day understand the truth about what transpired.
I will be tipping a glass or two in sharing Capt. Dave's joy and dream come true during this holiday week!!
I am also grateful to count myself among such compassionate and righteous folks here on this forum and my other fishing groups. Who says fisherfolk are crusty, cranky and rough old Sea Salts?   

[Pfishingruven]

Finally...

What a great holiday for Capt Dave!

Praying for a safe trip home and for a smooth transition for Sean.  It will be a hard adjustment and probably upsetting for him to be without the only family he knows, but he is where he should have been years ago.  He is also still dealing with the death of his mother.

I see the US denied the grandmother to come here to help in the transition.  Although, I think she should be jailed for what she helped her daughter do, it might have been in the best interest for Sean for her to come here and help for a while.

Although the fight for Sean was long and hard, the transition may be just as hard.  Let's keep them in our T&P's...

After hearing this great news you can't tell me that there is no Santa Claus. What a great gift for Dave to finally have his son back home. Lets all pray that Sean can a just quickly . Merry Christmas to all.
