SEAN GOLDMAN - 2004 Int'l Abduction Story - REUNITED WITH HIS DAD 12/24/09

[jjm323]

A few months ago I posted this story about my friend David Goldman, whose 4 year old son was illegally abducted to Brazil by his wife in 2004. David has fallen victim to a corrupt judicial system not seen Sean since then, despite a US Court Order demanding his return and International Law that supports his position.  In August 2008 his wife died in Brazil giving birth.  David went to reclaim his son, but is now engaged in a battle with her new husband---an evil and powerful international lawyer who is basically holding his son hostage with the judicial system in his pocket.

Greta is covering this story Friday and I hope monkeys get involved.  You can help.

I have gone back and read your previous posts and am checking to see if we can make them more visible to help Sean's Dad.

Has anyone followed the story on the Today Show about David Goldman, an American citizen who hasn’t seen his son for four years after he was kidnapped by his now-deceased wife and her parents — and is currently battling a wealthy and influential Brazilian family and a corrupt judicial system

It all started when David drove his wife, Bruna, and their son, Sean, to the airport in 2004, where they boarded a plane to go on a vacation. She’s from Brazil and they were going to visit her family for two weeks.  When she got to Brazil, his wife called him and said she was not returning to the United States.

The legal system stepped in. According to the laws of Brazil and the U.S. — as well as international law — Sean should have been returned home for a hearing. But Brazilian courts waited a year to respond to the New Jersey court order, which they ignored, and then ruled that since so much time had passed, the child should stay with his mother.

In the meantime, Bruna obtained a divorce from David in Brazil and married a Brazilian lawyer. Her second husband comes from a prominent and politically well-connected family in that country. Bruna died in childbirth last month. On Sept. 7, David caught a flight to Sao Paulo on with his mother. But Bruna’s Brazilian husband and parents refused to let Sean see his father or paternal grandmother.  The Stepfather has filed to remove David's name from the childs Brazilan birth certificate (even though the child was born in the US) and insert his own name.  Apparently, the Brazilian courts are OK with this.

Enough pressure needs to be put on the Brazilian Government so they do the right thing and return Sean to his biological father.  I live in the next town over from David, and he needs all of our help and prayers.  When monkeys mobilize, they are powerful, and assisting a fellow American citizen in his battle against a corrupt Latin American judicial system, is a cause worth fighting for.

There is an update to this case.

The lower courts in Brazil have denied David Goldman's appeal to have his son returned to the United Stated after the death of his Brazilian wife.  David Goldman has appealed to the Brazilian Supreme Court.  This case has significant implications for parental rights, citizen rights, ability of a non-related foreigner to erase a child's paternity and citizenship, etc.

Imagine if a foreigner could kidnap your child take him to a foreign country and give him a foreign birth certificate that erases your name from his birth certificate, effectively ending any rights you have to be his parent.  We should be shocked an appalled by this and we need to put pressure on the government of Brazil.  If you have a heart, you need to help NOW.  Caylee Anthony, Trenton Ducket and Natalee Holloway aren't coming home, God rest their souls, but YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN BRINGING SEAN GOLDMAN HOME.

PLEASE HELP!

David Goldman will be appearing on NBC Dateline in the next week or so (time to be determined) to discuss his plight.

If you haven't helped, please do.  Time is of the essence here.

This is terrible! I would think the US government would help this man get his son back.  The man who has his son should be charged since he has no legal right to this child.

[2NJSons_Mom]

A new member posted about this a short while ago and I moved it to Crimes Against Children forum.  Thank you, Edward for posting the video. 

I might add Sean's name to the subject line and merge these somehow.

jjm323,

I suggest all of pertinent information be posted in one thread.  I can move these new posts with video, etc. to the main stickied thread.  The Subject of the sticked thread should be changed to something with Sean's name, Abduction date and something about David being denied access to his son.

I think this may bring more attention.  Also noticed that one of our members posted the same video from Greta in the Missing Person Forum section.  If you'd prefer all info to be there, I can see if our admin agrees.

I see you have posted the same in the stickied thread.  Got a little confused, as it is now in three threads.   

[jjm323]

Sorry about that.  I posted a new thread b/c I thought people would be more likely to click on something if they saw Greta's name.  I will confine all future posts to your stickied thread.  I appreciate your assistance in helping get David's story out there.  I live in the next town over from him in Monmouth County, NJ and this ordeal has taken quite a toll on him.  He is tentatively scheduled to appear on NBC Dateline in the next couple of weeks.  I will keep you updated.  If Scared Monkeys could help prmote his appearance on Dateline when it is finalized, that would be great.  Brazil, like Aruba, cares little about the law and the rights of foreigners when it comes to protecting their own "elite" families.

There will be an in depth ONE HOUR special on NBC DATELINE on FRIDAY, JANUARY 30th on David Goldman's legal battle to return his son Sean home from Brazil.
