David Goldman’s trip to Brazil (see US-Brazil Custody Battle) turned out happily when he was reunited with his son, Sean, on Christmas Eve. A story in the NY Times on December 24th, “Boy, 9, and Father are Back in US After Reuniting in Brazil”reported that the Brazilian Supreme Court awarded custody of the boy to his father last week.
The case didn’t help US-Brazil relations and it is rumored that Congress even delayed passing a trade bill with Brazil in order to put pressure on the country to honor its commitment to the Hague Convention on Child Abduction.
