I don't usually post things like this, but this is too important not to pass along. This story just aired on Dateline about David Goldman's fight to bring his son Sean home. The case is fascinating, complex, and tragic --- I can't even do justice to the story in this short post, but the (real) short version of the story is that David's wife took their son to Brazil on a vacation, and then decided she was never returning to the US - kidnapping Sean. During the ensuing legal battle, David's wife remarried and then later she died from complications due to child birth. Astonishingly, the Brazilian courts will not award custody to David, the child's biological father. David's story to regain custody of his son is heart-wrenching.
My cousin is a good friend of David's and is featured in this interview. He has been a staunch supporter of David and has done much to get the word out regarding this case. In support of David, I urge all of you to please read the following transcript (or if you can find the video online, watch it):

There is a website set up that I also urge you to visit: www.BringSeanHome.org
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, please visit the following site and sign the petition to bring Sean Goldman home:

Again, I don't usually post stuff like this, but I can't keep this quiet. What is happening here is just plain wrong, and in support of David, I urge you all to visit these sites, sign the petition, and get out the word to your friends so that David can finally be reunited with his son.
This is a great online community, and I thank you all in advance for whatever support you can offer.
