[question everything]

A Brazilian federal court ruled Wednesday that a 9-year-old boy living in Brazil should be returned to his father in New Jersey.

The 3-0 ruling said the boy must be returned by Friday.

Lawyers have said that whoever lost Wednesday's ruling is likely to make a final appeal to a court in Brasilia.

Finally..

1. The mother is dead, the boy hould be returned to his dad

and not be left to be raised by a step parent.

2. it's about time...........! Though the wicket stepdad will have his final say in court...

He has no right to keep a boy from his natural father.

[question everything]

5. One has to wonder about the hidden agenda that the step dad had

fighting to keep the child. And the divorce was not even an American one. She just used the Brazil court to "divorce" her husband.

7. There are a lot of theories, but not sure I want to know. nt

9. Brazil daddy is a scumbag juiced in lawyer.

so he is pulling the strings. Somehow I doubt this would be happening 40 years ago.

10. Question ... where's the RW outrage saying that the son should stay in

Brazil? I mean, isn't that essentially the same situation Elian Gonzales had? That the biological mother ran off to another country with a kid, and died ... and "relatives" that the kid didn't know were holding him hostage over the biological father's wishes?

Are the RWers fighting international law on this one, too?

BTW, I'm glad the father is legally reuniting with his son.
