ANOTHER SETBACK FOR GOLDMAN

hot-topic7David Goldman’s quest for custody of his nine-year-old son, Sean, was dealt another blow late last week when  Brazilian judge ruled that the boy should remain with his Brazilian stepfather until the case is finally resolved, the Star-Ledger reported Sunday.

From the article:

The ruling reverses a previous court decision that allowed Goldman custody of his son for six days a week whenever he visits the 8-year-old boy in Brazil.

“To not be able to do anything is killing me,” Goldman said yesterday, but added that his lawyer is at work on a “next step” and said he is trying to remain positive.

The Tinton Falls man has been waging an international custody battle since shortly after his late ex-wife took Sean, then 4, to Brazil on vacation. They never returned.

  • There is a good reason this woman left that man and returned home to her family with her son… It’s too bad she isn’t here to say why and the media won’t let them speak the truth because politically correct is the way to go. That is the childs home, not here. Hillary and Obama can’t, but police the world… To quote there president, ” It wasn’t the colored man who started this global crisis, it was the blue eyed and blonde haired…”
    Go Brasil !!

  • Give them an inch and they take a mile. The audacity of denying a father paternal rights over his son whose blood mother is dead. Sorry “Go” you should explain rather than refrain if you know something the rest of us don’t. This is not a nationalist issue….it is a battle between right and wrong. Push Back (peacefully) before it’s too late.

  • I think you are all mad, except for Brasilia, who I agree with. How would a child who’s just been through the trauma of losing his mother benefit by leaving all his friends and the only family he’s known for the past 6 years and moving to f’ing Tinton Falls?

    Leave the child with the mother’s family until he is old enough to emotionally process everything. Poor kid.

  • Yet it was ok for Elian Gonzalez to be ripped away in the middle of the night, kicking and screaming by Janet (HICKUP) Reno’s gestapo. Only to be marshaled off to an impoverished communist dictatorship. I wonder where “sad” stood on that issue????

    The left wing of the government thought it best (in spite of all that that) the boy be reunited with his father… Get real, the kid will get over it……..he belongs with his own flesh and blood and should never been stolen by that now dead wacky latina woman to begin with.
