I just came across your blog. If you would like to expose a terrible violation of human rights, please visit this link: bringseanhome.org. There is currently a young boy, named Sean Goldman, who has been abducted from the USA to Brazil by his mother. Although a court order stated the boy was to be immediately returned to his father, Brazil has yet to honor it, four years later. The mother is now deceased and her widower STILL refuses to return the child to his only living parent. This new husband is a prominent family lawyer in Brazil named Joao Paulo Lins e Silva. He and his father, Paulo Lins e Silva, are experts in the field of family law and have used all of their connections to illegally harbor this child. The story is recently gaining worldwide publicity, except in Brazil because of a media ban issued by a judge that Lins e Silva himself petitioned! The oppression and disregard for the law here is terrible and what is worse is that citizens of Brazil will never even realize because the very same people abusing the law are the ones banning the press from exposing them. Shed some light on this situation in South America! The entire world is learning of the case and wondering why no one is doing anything about it in Brazil, the problem is, hardly anyone in Brazil even knows this is going on except the local courts in Rio, who are under this corrupt family's thumb. Don't let these immoral people tarnish the reputation of everyone! Here is one news stations account: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local&id=6553199. Piaui magazine also covered this story, ignoring the media ban: http://bringseanhome.org/piaui.html Hi my name is Dana. I just came across your blog.
