Here is an update for anyone who may be interested. This is the latest e-mail I rec'd back concerning Sean's return, by the way, I have already contacted the Brazilian ambassador. Why am I doing this? If you have children, and you saw the whole story, you probably would understand. We saw the murder of an american girl in Aruba, the gov't there did practically nothing. Now a son is kept from his biological dad, and Brazil is an accomplice. Now the reply:
Thank you for your correspondence regarding David Goldmanâs efforts to have his son, Sean, returned from Brazil. We are aware of the recent developments in this sad case. The Department of Stateâs Office of Childrenâs Issues and our Embassy in Brasilia continue to do everything we can diplomatically and through the international child protection community to help Mr. Goldman reunite with his son. We are working closely with the Brazilian Central Authority to pursue Seanâs return under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Consular staff in Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro are monitoring Mr. Goldmanâs case in the Brazilian federal and state courts as well, and we understand that Mr. Goldmanâs attorney in Brazil is working to do everything possible through the legal system there.
Our heartfelt compassion goes out to Mr. Goldman. International child abduction is a tragedy that no parent should have to endure. The Department of State places the highest priority on the welfare of children who have been victimized by international parental child abduction. The Office of Childrenâs Issues works diligently every day on behalf of children who have been wrongfully taken to or retained in foreign countries around the world.
We remain committed to assisting Mr. Goldman until his case is resolved in Brazil. We appreciate your concern and support and will make sure your message is conveyed to Mr. Goldman and to our colleagues and counterparts in Brazil.
If you wish to make your concerns known to the Government of Brazil, please contact the Embassy of Brazil at:
