FINALLY!!!!!! SEAN GOLDMAN WINS!!!

We all know it started as an abduction, but with the mother dying (and the only person they could legally hang an abduction charge on), it is now considered a custody dispute (at least by the Brazilian family), regardless of how we would like to interpret it.

Wrong.  Where in the world, interstate or international, does a mother's husband or a grandparent  have custody standing equal to a natural parent ??

Legally the same as stranger abduction when a child is held and not returned.

Simply put ... it is not their child.  It is not "how we interpret" it is according to long standing legal statues and backed by treatys (international).

You may notice there were no custody hearings in Brazil.   Just statutory.
