Goldman Update

Some of you have wondered why I haven't written about the Goldman case since Sean returned to the US. Frankly, there wasn't much to tell - as far as David's six year battle was concerned, the most important part was over. Some things have happened since then, mostly Sean's grandmother lobbying to see him through the NJ courts and through the Brazilian government and media. But since she refused to meet any conditions as David and the courts requested, she hasn't been able to.

This Sunday, Dateline will air an update on what's happened since Sean returned to the US, and about David's book detailing the harrowing struggle to get his son back. (I have not read it yet, but here's an excerpt from NBC) It's the first time since Sean's return that David is speaking publicly about the case. I'll post the videos from the special as soon as they go up, but here's a short preview:

Okay. It worked: Made me cry.

Rachel,

I began watching it just now online - and paused.

Seeing David state again how she went home to Brazil, stated she would never return, and demanded he sign away full custody rights and to put in writing he'd never seek custody....

I am led to conclude she planned this. She may not have had all the details hashed out when she left New Jersey, but in the few days she was there, I would imagine she received ideas from her family and attorneys. Once back on home ground and emboldened by family, friends, home country, and possibly legal advice, she was then ready to publicly state her views and to make her demands known.

Os videos do Dateline já estão no app (iphone) da NBC. E eles ainda dão alguma voz à família materna, que mais uma vez distorce os fatos. O fato é que este caso já está encerrado. Duvido que eles consigam reverter a decisão do STF e que consigam alguma coisa nos EUA. O menino vai ficar com o pai. A maldade que fizeram com este pai é inominável. A única coisa que faltou na reportagem foi mostrar mais casos como o do David que ainda permanecem pendentes. Ele mesmo fala sobre esta situação e das razões de ter escrito o livro.
