Also, I find it hard to believe that someone with such a VAST legal background, as I myself have, could ignore such a sweeping decision where every single argument you write here has been completely disproven. As I said before, go read the legal documents that are all included in Judge Pinto's ruling; they are readily available for your consumption.

Well, congratulations on your worldliness; you certainly have been around. I share your outrage at some things that have gone on under the eyes of my country's watch. As you are familiar with East Asia, I would cite the situation in the Mariana Islands and the sweatshops allowed to operate there.

But taking some of your experiences and projecting them onto David Goldman is absurd. To post here anything about an American preying on dark-skinned innocents is patently offensive, a vile thing to bring into this conversation. Far from being an innocent, helpless third-world waif subject the evil Gringo's magical spell, Bruna was a very worldly woman; a student of design who met David in Italy, for Pete's sake.

She was also savvy enough to understand the ability she might have to call on influential friends/lovers to get away with an act of illegal international child abduction. Sorry – you can't refute that, and everything comes back to that fact. She broke the laws of both her native and adoptive nations in stealing Sean away to Brazil. Everything else you post is just so much fluff in the wind.

I am sorry if my writing skills ain’t good enough for you... See, I am fluent in few languages ( Portuguese included) ,and sometimes in the heating of the moment the writing and composition skills get's out of place. So, I am assuming that you're monolingual; therefore, I excuse both your arrogance and ignorance about these phenomena.

For few years I provided legal advocacy services to East Asian women (victims of sex and labor exploitation) who were /are seeking for custody of their children illegally held in the United States of America. My job exposed me to many different cultures, languages and countries; therefore, I have a personal knowledge and unique perspective about the court system in America and few other countries. Furthermore, I was born in Portugal, educated in Rio de Janeiro, Spain, Italy, Hong Kong, Lebanon, and at last in America, where I finally settled.). So as you can see, I am well entrenched not only in an America culture, but in many others as well.

Your post is full of misinformation and contradictions.

First, as previously mentioned, David has incurred over $360,000 in legal and travel expenses. There is no "TV station sponsorship". If you think he's in this for the money, you are delusional.

Second, I don't know the circumstances of the "visitation" issue, other than the fact that as of 5 years ago it never should have been an issue as custody/visitation rights would have been decided/negotiated in the court of local jurisdiction (New Jersey)... but the mother decided to illegally abduct Sean to Brazil instead. Now, maybe David had intended to visit with Sean, but had to go to Brasilia for the Supreme Court (STF) hearing; maybe he had to return to the States for work... whatever. The fact is that for the LeS/Rubeiro/Bianchi cabal to raise as some evidence of his "letting Sean down" one cancelled visit... after refusing to allow David to see or speak to Sean for 4.5 years is nothing short of a cruel joke.

Last, David has been fighting to repatriate Sean since day one, not -as you allege – only since the mother died. Immediately after the mother illegally kidnapped Sean to Brazil, David filed all of the proper paperwork to initiate a move back to New Jersey where – under the auspices of the Hague Convention to which both the US and Brazil are signatories – custody should have been decided. The documents (as well as all others pertinent to the case) may be viewed at bringseanhome.org.

The bottom line and the single undeniable fact of this case is that the mother initiated this entire mess by breaking the law. She had every opportunity to file for a divorce and seek custody in New Jersey, but she instead took Sean to Brazil illegally. The rest has been a continuous miscarriage of justice by the Brazilian courts and the LeS cabal who seem to know very well how to manipulate them.

In the end, though, it will be the careers of both father and son Lins e Silva which will suffer, as their reputations in the legal community will be discredited and mocked internationally – it is happening even as we speak. Judge Pinto's decision of June 1 dismantled any legal claim the LeS/Ribeiro clan tried to make on Sean. It exposed the lie after lie spouted by these people and leaves little doubt that Sean will – sooner or later – be reunited with his father in New Jersey.

I re-read my comments and must apologize to you and other like-minded Brasilians who ARE socially conscious citizens (of any country), considering the welfare and legal implications of Sean, David and all those involved. I did not mean to imply that all "elite" Brasilians (not knowing your social upbringing in Brasil) are
"just another spoiled bratty Brasilian who wants his way and will do anything to get it … wrong or wrong. Don’t tell me I don’t know. I’ve lived there several times amongst that kind. Funny how those from other countries can see it, but most Brasilians can’t."

There are many "elite" Brasilians who see the current issue as it truly is ... social, legal and humanly flawed. For the most part, however, whether or not these elite Brasilieros acknowledge at the expense of their social standing is questionable.

In any event, I apologize to those ethical, legal and socially conscious Brasilieros supporting Sean and David Goldman's reunion and life together again.

You continue to float these CNN blogs just to spread your lies. The court sentence for Judge Pinto is available online in both English and Portuguese, and every single allegation you spew has been PROVEN untrue. David IMMEDIATELY did everything in his legal power to have Sean returned, from the moment Bruna told him she and Sean were not returning. How do you explain a dozen DOCUMENTED trips to Brazil for legal purposes??? GO READ THE COURT DOCUMENTS AND STOP BEING SO IGNORANT.

Also, I have a feeling if you were really so entrenched in "American" culture as you claim to be, you'd have a better handle on English grammar. It's obvious to anyone with a brain that you're a plant sent here by someone from the family holding him ILLEGALLY in Brazil.
