  • Since she is so rich here in Brazil she could pay for top-quality English classes....lol

  • After hearing this woman saying that Bring Sean Home Foundation sells things related to Sean and Bruna I gave up believing in her...All I have to say now is...Silvia, GET LOST!!!!

  • Sickening, corrupt assholes fishing for sympathy on national television and lying with impunity.

  • Is this boy alive? it's very strange that no one knows about him... no information about. it's clear that something is going on.

  • What is justice for you @dirtymo525? The justice in this case is very clear. It is just a batle between two parents in different countries. A long time ago when Salamao in the Bible have to decide who was the parents of a child in a justice batle. He decide cut the baby in a half and the real loved parents decided that for love of their child they prefer that the baby stay a live with the other family. So, Salomao descovered who was the real parents. This is about Seans life he isn't a toy...

  • Unfortunatelly, I agree with you aplloc30 "NOBODY CARES ABOUT SEAN". David Goldeman is doing the same thing as his ex-wife did. Sean have a half sister in Brazil. He had a life there and it is sad that people in USA just care about a legaly batlle. They really dont care about SEAN. But hey! He will grow up and he will judge his parents and I am sure he will decide what is better for him. And I am sorry David you are just like Bruna. She was a self fish ahd you are not different.

  • @apolloc30 silvana is a kidnapper and has been cited for parental alienation by brazilian court-appointed psychologists and the brazilian courts. yes there are grandparent rights in every state, however, the law only works for fit grandparents. no, its not the same thing - sean is where he belongs, at home, in nj, with is only living parent.

  • @apolloc30 no one gives a crap about this case anymore because it is over. sean is back home with his father where he belongs - what goes on b/t david and the brazilian family moving forward is b/t them. the media (in both countries) wanted justice for david and sean and they finally got it - other than that, no one should care what david does or doesnt do because it's no one's business!!!

  • @apolloc30 you seem to know an awful lot about this case, luca....

  • @apolloc30 - courts enforce the laws, not psychologists. just like in brazil, the court ruled that sean goes to nj to live with his father. i have not seen any court documents that substantiates any of what you are saying - it is only what silvana has spewed out to the media and she is insane.

  • @apolloc30 how do you know those facts? how do you know who sean has spoken to?

  • I am thinking about the boy. Look, he was 4 years old went his mom ran way with him. The only life he knows is the life in Brazil. A very good life. Life that David Goldman never will have money to do. Sean wants to stay in Brazil. What you think that grandmather will do. She love him. And if David really love Sean he will make the law. Sean Grandmother accordin the judicial decision should travel togehter, but David punished Sean for one thing that Bruna did. Poor child.

  • let Sean decide you fuckin idiots

  • Brazil, but that's life and he did not ask for anything that happens, David Goldman is being very charitable leaving Bianchi visit her grandson, and she still wants to continue this war, confusing the poor boy, she will not see it will complicate his life, my name is Adriane and I'm Ashamed because I am Brazilian but I'm very honest with people! I wish all the best for Goldman family and the Bianchi family learns from their mistakes!

  • she was unhappy, that was selfish, now a grandmother Bianchi wants to do the same, but nothing will change, Sean and his father are together until he becomes a man, and if the stepparent wants to raise a child who is not his, he must have known that Brazil has millions of children who need a family, because Sean has a father, we know that sean has a sister in Brazil, but that's life and he did not ask for anything that happens, David Goldman is being very

  • A Familia Bianchi não entendeu que a população brasileira apoiou Sean, exceto meia duzia de pessoas da classe média... Mesmo usando a influência política do senador Francisco Dornelles (que fez tráfico de influência pra conseguir custódia ao padastro e depois à avó), no final a justiça foi feita.

  • I've never felt so ashamed of being a Brazilian citizen as I felt throughout this whole battle.

    David finally brought his son back HOME, where he was never meant to be taken from.

    QUE MERDA DE INGLÊS DESSES DOIS HEIN?! PRA VC VER QUE DINHEIRO NÃO COMPRA INTELIGENCIA!!

  • @patpatita o pai luta pela guarda há 5 anos, alias ele luta pela devolução da criança q foi sequestrada pela mãe que manteve esse sequestro com o apoio dos avós maternos de Sean.

  • Parabens David por conseguir seu filho de volta. Vc merece muito ser feliz.

  • congratulations david. o filho é dele..

  • voce fala que o menino passou 60% da vida dele com voce....O DAVID PASSOU 4 ANOS COM ELE.....DESDE QUE ELE NASCEU....SEM CONTAR QUE ELE E O PAI BIOLOGICO DO MENINO......VC E UM ESTUPIDO

  • The grandmother and her evil lawyer son in law are the very definition of selfish. Their will be a hot place in hell for them.

    All the best to David.

  • Para o universo de pessoas atentas ao bem estar de Sean, ele já voltou às aulas em N.J. está muito feliz, o vi num vídeo.Reconheceu sua casa, seu lar, seu pedaço, quartinho, primos, amigos, até o gato reconheceu, sem contar o corrimao que mordia.

  • please stop talk about this boy!! brazil have to many kids!!they dont have any nice live!!

  • DAVID WANTS MONEY NOW!

  • e dai....ele tem que pedir mesmo...perderam ....PAGAM

  • what is important now sean is back to his father. david won ang got the fruits of his labor. the father is still alive and he has the right to be with his son. a son needs a father especially the mom has died. there is only one parent and we cannot replace that. their marriage may have failed but david is a good father as testified by bruna herself on recorded phone call from brazil. she mentioned she is in fact happy, he was his father and they had a child together.

  • velha mentirosa.....vc perdeu.....ACEITA A DERROTA...imbecil

    Os danos materiais podem ser configurados por uma despesa que foi gerada por uma ação ou omissão indevida de terceiros, ou ainda, pelo que se deixou de auferir em razão de tal conduta, caracterizando a necessidade de reparação material dos chamados lucros cessantes.

  • Só quem conhece a familia de perto sabe realmente a situação. Ele estava vendendo produtos com a cara do PRÓPRIO FILHO dizendo que era para pagar as custas de advogados e passagens....e agora quer 500.000 usd para pagar esses custos?? A Máscara começa a cair....não tem jeito....

  • agora vao ainda pagar US500 mil dollares!!quando a familia brasileira chega no solo americano vao receber uma carta da corte americana para presta a conta com o David Goldman!!

    tem que pagar!! passagens de aviao hotel etc!!bem feito

  • A tia-avó de Sean MARIA AUGUSTA CARNEIRO RIBEIRO,falecida em maio, foi alta funcionária da Petrobrás,também EX-GUERRILLEIRA do Movimento Revolucionário 8 de outubro MR-8, autor do sequestro do Embaixador Americano CHARLES ELBRICK em 1969, sendo ela trocada por ele na época.

  • revolussaum BOM DIA!!! Que grata  me sinto em encontrá-lo !

  • Congratulations Mr. David ande Sean!!!

    FELICDADES, FELIZ 2010!!!

  • @Pimentinha1980 cala a boca idiota

  • Lins di Silva should get a taste of his own logic. Take his daughter to another country, keep her there for one year ir so, then claim that she should stay in that country because she has lived "60% of her life there". Make sense? No it doesn't. he is a scumbag and so is his father & mother in law. I hope they never see Sean again!

  • i hope you're right! even if david gave them permission, i hope the US court system determines that they are too dangerous for sean to be around.

  • o brasil has to much violent for everybody!!

    no good for kids!!especial RIO DE JANEIRO..

  • Bruna was not Happy She had to work to much?

  • Essa gente precisa calar a boca, o Sean nao e teu filho, vai cuidar da tua filha e essa senhora tem que deixar de ser uma egoista e deixar o menino viver com o pai dele.

    shut up people, this boy has a wonderful father, i'm glad hi is back home now, this grandmother is selfish just like her daughter, like mother like daughter! Be happy Sean and David!

  • Now that Scumbag grandmother can get a taste of what she helped do to David for 5 YEARS. Rot in hell with your evil, selfish daughter- as I'm sure that is exactly where she is.

  • hell would be too good for that psychotic evil-doer!! I hope the bitch suffers a slow, painful demise - anything that is equivalent to the pain and cruelty she thrust upon David and Sean!

  • karma's a bitch ain't it?!!

  • I am all for hearing both sides, it is the right thing to do. But I doubt these people change the minds of anyone from this interview. The stepdad seems like a creep, and not just b/c his english is bad. They all seem like liars. Bruna & her mother & 2nd husband did NOT do the right thing. Any mental issues this Sean Goldman may suffer will be their fault. So glad Sean is away from these people now.

  • Congratulations Mr. David and Sean !!!!!!!!

    feliz 2010 !!!!!!!!

    from Brasil

  • People around the world see this grandmother speak and know she is being dishonest. for 5 years this man fought for his son,every court went his way

    than this no good women parades this child through the streets for HER benifit!

    and last, after he was finally given back to his father she has the gall to come on American tv and lie, and we all know she is lying. she makes your country and its people look terrible in the eyes of the world!

  • is difficult to judge such cases. nobody knows the truth of the acquaintance of the couple David and Bruna Bianchi. good, the fact is that Bruna was unhappy in his marriage and took the worst attitudes to bring the child to Brazil. the claim Bruna Bianchi has always been that David Goldman was violent with her and forced her to work with things that do not like to pay the household bills. one thing is certain, no woman would do that Bruna made without any reason to take her to do.

  • You are incorrect! People can do many cruel, horrible things without provocation or justification. It is more than likely that Bruna was just plain "wired wrong" - she suffered from a selfishness and heartlessness that were just part of her personality. What do you expect?!! ....Listening to that mother you know EXACTLY who she inherited it from!!

  • I have read several comments of you in favor of its David Goldman and can be noted that you lived every day with the couple to know everything. is good then, I did not know that you lived every day with the bed and slept with them in order to give full reason for his compatriot David Goldman.

  • Ok Mr Marcoshary, My posts over the last few days were designed to inflame and offend . I am aware that many,many good people and things have come from your wonderful country.

    Watching this grandmother,and stepfather lie so easily on tv just made me go krazy. perhaps because most in our country have followed davids trips to see his son and now he never waivered from day one.

  • JP Lins & Silva was shitting on his pants as he was talking. Coward!

    I have to agree that this is a tragic family story. Bruna wasn't happy in her marriage and took the wrong decision when moved back to Brazil. But if she had followed the laws of both countries maybe this drama would never happened.

    Just remember that this was not a war between countries but between two families that equally loved a boy.

    I'm glad he is back to his father.

  • Now is the time to go after the twp criminals who kept this crime in play for over 5 years the idiot brazilian grandmother,and stepfather. put them in jailWHERE THEY BELONG!! sean is home in the USA now because this is right and just

  • i cant belive what i'am hearing shawn shuld stay with his step fother this guy is sicko get life idiot you tell in as thet brazil is safer then usa u sick man

  • David got his boy back.

    Hey grandma....how does David's ass taste? Bwaahaahaa!!!!

  • I'm so glad the stepfather, grandmother, and lawyer LOST.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

  • @AllAboutBrazil Im not watching because...well, you come off as an idiot.

  • Deus abençoe a família Goldman! Até que enfim Sean, estará de volta ao seio familiar Goldman. Volta para sua casa, seu pedaço, seus amiguinhos,tios, avós, primos, rua, suas coisas, quartinho, de onde foi arrancado vilmente. Meu respeito e vergonha ofereço à família Goldman. Família Bianchi deveria pagar pelo crime de sequestro.

  • Does this TV Chanel knows these people are big jerks and considered the worse kind of people in Brazil???? This is a family of spoiled rich that spans generation of abuse and the worse behavior imagined. This stupid TV don't have a clue what these people represent in Brazilian society. How you give space for kidnappers???? For God's sake!!!

  • Sra Bianchi, David tem apenas o direito de visitas? Sean tem uma meia irmã no Brazil e um pai 100% biológico nos EUA...

    Lins e Silva, espero que um dia vc prove de seu próprio veneno.

  • @claudineilopes123 There it is, the responce from a brazilian fool."fuck you punk" no wonder your country is still considered a third world country!

  • I think the best thing would be that the two families could share the experience with Sean, but his father Pop Star, wants to make money with it, sell

    more mugs, maybe have a TV show, a movie.

    Minister Gilmar Mendes is ridiculous, lets out a doctor rapist and does so with a Brazilian family in the middle of Christmas day

  • Unbelieveble! Bruna goes to Brazil knowing exactly what she is about to do and her family thinks that it's fair to hold Sean with them after kidnapping him!!! I am Brazilian, from Rio and I couldn't be more ambarressed about the way Justice hold this case. Gilmar Mendes I am your fan for being so corrected and just!

  • brazilians must have a distorted sense of right and wrong. that or they're just stupid morons. the child was abducted. david goldman loved his son and fought for him the day sean's mother took him away for good. they may have loved sean, but sean deserves the greatest gift, the unconditional love of his father. no matter what they do, they can't give that. sean belongs to his real father.

  • Wrong. Brazilians has not a distorted sense of right and wrong. As a matter of fact, the the brazilian court system is very ineffective.

  • you're a disgrace to the brazilian people. stop posting. you don't know shit about goldman. you're making shit up. the child belongs to his real father. end of story. the stepfather has his own child. end of story. in a perfect world, they'd be persecuted for what they did to david and his son.

  • nobody gives a damn about brazil. you're just another idiot who has no qualms supporting child abduction. and ransom is not a requirement to be considered kidnapping. you can't see anything wrong with taking a child away from his biological father who loved him, then you're a veritable moron, like the stupid grandmather and dirtbag stepfather.

  • The father of Sean loves money, if the Bianchi offer more money, he returns the child.

  • Nothing in that filthy country is "Well" Brazil is a third world country, 90% of your people are poor uneducated. Your judicial system iscrooked. This dirtbag grandmother and step father should be thrown in jail!

    Parading this childthrough thestreets like they did showed the world Brazil isno good

  • Who kidnaps asks for money, and the only person who earned money on it was David Goldman, who turned it all into a reality show

  • Like your judicial system, your media is crooked, He never asked for money. only his son. And he finnally got him because it was right and just!! The Filthy brazilian family had to lie and parade this child around. It is clear to the world now that NOTHIBG good comes from brazil. Its people and its culture are garbage!!

  • Our country is as dirty as the U.S., corrupt politicians, people living on the street, hungry people everywhere have. Sean lived in luxury apartment were good schools, traveled frequently and was happy. The loving father only appeared when Bruna died and his son probably had a good inheritance.

    Life here in Brazil can be as good as the U.S., you need the money, and Bianchi have

  • @glauadm1983 you ...like most in your country....are an idiot

  • I stopped on this. The Brazilian justice system is a disgrace and father of Sean loves money. End

  • I know the two countries, just have to say that trash is everywhere!The Americans are cowards and think are better than everyone else. So are the way they are.

  • you wish>>>>

  • shut the fuck up, bitch. you're a nation of kidnappers. you obviously have no issues about child abduction.

  • @revolussaum there it is,how ignorance debates."shut the fuck up"

  • I don´t bet, I´m sure u are an American idiot! Not that all Americans are idiots, I have many American friends, and they are very nice and real nice people! The same can´t be said about u. Please don´t contribute to the saying that all Americans are dumb and are a nation of ignorant people who don´t know anything beyond their borders. Stop insulting other people´s Nation, specially when u don´t know anything about them.

  • @Marcoshary I will of course,stand by my comments. The majority of brazilians who respond to this debate actually defend the grandmother,and stepfather. I find your comments typical brazilian, your country has given nothing to this world besides cage fighting and yet, you find your sure your country is blessed because of your beachs. I find this amusing at best.

  • About my country haven´t given nothing to the World: Don´t sat this cause you know nothing about my country. We´ll contribute a lot to the World in the next years. There´s a lot about my country I don´t agree but there´s so man ywonderful things also. And things can´t be changed from day to night, it takes time. But I think we are n the right way now.

  • why did CBS interview these kidnappers? these motherfuckers have the gall to say that they loved sean. they kidnapped and abducted sean. that's the truth. they took away a child from his father....

  • David Goldman is a bum, takes advantage of the situation to make money.

    Ever wanted to contact her son, only sought the Bianchi family to want money. He dropped the lawsuit against the grandmother of 150 thousand dollars.

    Take Sean of the only sister was later adapted inhuman get him on Christmas Day.

    Americans think this is kidnapping, because they think it is much better to live poorly in the U.S. than in Brazil as well.

  • If u are in a democracy, u gotta listen to all the parts. All the reports on tv only listened to David, this is the only one that interviewed the Brazilian family. Not that they´re right or that I think they are. I don´t, I´m pro David. But the other part always have the right to express themselves, even if at first instance we don´t agree with them. They said many bad things about David, I don´t think they´re true....

  • ...But who knows? We can´t only listen to one side. We gotta be able to listen what the others have to say. Even if we don´t agree.

  • fucking criminals. i can't believe these stupid brazilians are defending these criminals. fucking idiots. a child belongs to his biological parent. a father who loved his son before he was even born. i hope this brazilian family burn in hell.

  • David Goldman is a bum, which were sustained by women and just want to take advantage of this whole situation, as he begs for donations on its Web site, or selling mugs with the face of Sean.

    This is the education that he wants to give the boy?

  • Anita- Thank you, I think i will let your words speak for itself. His first name is Sean and last name is Goldman. You must be brazilian because you sound like an idiot!

  • brazil has proven to the eyes of the world why its still a third world country, where 90% of its people are hungry and uneducated. and do not...EVER call yourself an American. your a crooked brazilian

  • @kryptonitex2

    You say lies! You unthestand Brazil!

  • You should mind your stupidity before you vomit stupid comments on the internet.

  • Comment removed

  • the grandmother and step father are criminals!! justice finally!! boycott brazil!! there are 50 other familys waiting for there chidren!!

  • @kryptonitex2

    Fuck You! US is criminals! Stop de war!

    The name of de boy is Sean Richard Bianchi Carneiro Ribeiro Goldman. The name not is only Sean Goldman.

  • So you're in favor of the mother who didn't even have an ounce of decency to end her marriage in

    the USA with Mr.Goldman,illegally get married to

    Silva,then finally commit adultery? Please get your

    head out of your ass! Sean belongs with his real

    father,not SIlva.End of story! Don't even go there!

  • The only reason Sean has been is Brazil is because his mother TOOK him WITHOUT the fathers knowledge of her plans. How the hell is that the real fathers fault. So now because Brazil has kept him illegally for many years they are now entitled to keep him???!?!?! They should have NEVER taken him away from his father in the US. In the next life the mom should stay in Brazil, marry a Brazilian and avoid all of these problems.

  • You don't even know the story. Even the biological dad had said that he knew the mother was taking the boy to Brazil and her gave her permission. She decided to stay in Brazil because she was in an unhappy loveless marriage. Don't comment on things you don't know.

  • Just listen to your comment. I know he gave the Mom permission to take him to Brazil. .. . . . ON VACATION!!!!!! NOT FOREVER!!!!! So she decided to stay?????How about getting a divorce first, arranging custody issues (since they are BOTH the parents), THEN!!!!!!! leave to wherever the hell she pleases!

  • baalat, how do YOU know all of these things?

  • I am ashamed of the Brazilian courts. If I were a Brazilian child in USA we would not have the same treatment.

    Gilmar Mendes is ridiculous, David Goldman wants to be pop star and make money with it!

  • Comment removed

  • I think this boy should be in Brazil, becouse he is already used to this country, and to his Brazilian familie, friends and language. He should go to USA only when he was old enought to take this decision....

  • FABIO - Being 'used to Brazil' doesn't mean he belongs there. If a prisoner is "used to" their cell, should they stay when they have completed their sentence?

    When his mother died, his father has true custody over his own son. Remember Elian Gonzalez? Was it wrong to send him back to Cuba, when his mother died trying to give a different life for him in the US?

    Maybe we should ask Elian what he thought if he lived in the US for five years before being ordered back to Cuba?

  • I'm not saying that Sean should not be with his father, but I think that this decision was made too late and it must bring trauma to him, and his home in Brazil can not be compared to a cell, becouse he also has a familie there who loved him and raised him all this time....

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, his extended family loves him...but Sean is not their responsibility. David is responsible for him. If his grandmother/stepfather really cared about Sean, they would have let him go back to David.

    And I wasn't trying to compare Brazil to a prison cell. Brazil is beautiful.

    To me, the family came off as very selfish - like they wanted to keep their the mother/wife alive through Sean. Its unfair to Sean, David and two countries that have very different opinions about a private manner.

  • If the biological dad really cared for Sean he would realize that forcibly taking Sean from his family in Brazil is very traumatic and would let him stay.

  • The only loser to this situation is the kid. He didn't ask or want to be a football/futbol in this media circus. I hope Sean can grow up to be a good man, and most of all, happy after the past five years.

    Grandma said she wasn't happy in the US (marriage or not). It wasn't home, Brazil - why would she want to live/raise her kid here? Because she's not American and we're "strange".

    Taking the kid wasn't smart or right - now he has to live with this crap. Good luck Sean.

  • This is what happens when a father still doesn´t realize he has a son and gives all the responsabilities to your wife create a child. Now she´s dead and finally he"cares about" his son... even though, it doesn´t justify this KIDNAPPING, but Mr. Goldman must get the lesson this time and BE A REAL FATHER FOR THIS KID

  • have you been hiding under a rock? He has been fighting for this boy since 2004.

  • padrasto é uma merda mesmo!

    VOVÓ, isso é uma forma de sequestro SIM SENHORA!!!

    impediram o pai de cuidar do próprio filho.Não interessa se o pai não tava nem aí pra ele no começo, não se justifica o sequestro o pai tem que tomar vergonha na cara e cuidar dele e exercer a obrigação de criar o próprio filho e não se pode impedir isso.

  • YES,he was abducted! He is half Brazilian from

    his mothers side and an American Citizen,not a

    Brazilian Citizen.He should be with his father,not

    the grandmother.Brazilians or his mothers family

    do not have the right to keep him.The mothers

    family should be charged and prosecuted!

  • I feel sorry for this boy who wasn't kidnapped. To be ripped away from his loving grandparents, his stepdad, his friends, and his pretty baby sister. His sister that is only one year old will have to grow up not knowing her brother. It's sad that people seem to think of him as incapable of knowing what he wants even though he is almost 10 years old. It truly is sad that more people care about being blood related than what's best for the child.

  • If Goldman were abusive or evil, Sean's well being is most important. But, he isn't.

    She DIED and David has natural rights over is own son. Not the extended family.

  • You are right. David does have natural rights over his son however if he really cared about his son emotional well being he would listen to Sean himself. SEAN has said that he wants to stay with his FAMILY in Brazil. David should respect that and make plans to visit him or to have Sean visit him, maybe Sean could spend vacation in America or David spend his vacations in Brazil.

  • David should have made going to America and being with his dad a fun experience for Sean. If David did that, Sean may have WANTED to move to America instead of being forced where he will not be able to see his family ever again, making it a traumatizing experience.

  • Sean Step-dad may not be his biological dad but to Sean he is still a father figure who he loves and he has a biological sister.

    They are more than an extended family.

  • So if you kidnapp someone ...and keep him long enough. he should be able to stay with the kidnappers... you must be brazilian because you sound like an idiot!!

  • Well that is a really racist thing to say. You are the idiot. I'm a born and raised American, I am not Brazilian, or of decent and I have never even been to Brazil, but I'm also not a fucking idiot who believes everything the media says and I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE BOY EMOTIONAL WELL BEING.

  • baalat, your writing style belies your claim of being "american born".

  • I did not say kidnappers should be allowed to keep the victim. I did say that the boy FAMILY should be allowed to have custody, even more so now that he has a baby sister. You must not know the pain of not being allowed to see your siblings and other family members because you live to far away, you sound like an idiot!

  • DAVID is his family, first and foremost!! grandparents' rights are secondary. and if THEY cared about sean's well-being they wouldn't have deprived him of his father for 5 years!

  • IMAGINE... THE OLYMPICS WILL BE IN BRAZIL.... Athletes and tourists from all over the world will be in Brazil. THE OLYMPICS COMMITTEE should look carefully to this case.... Millions of tourist will be facing the INHUMAN, UNLAWFUL BRAZILIAN LAW ! ! ! There should be a petition to stop the OLYMPICS...

  • @143thyatira you wish

  • i'm American and i say send General McCrystal and lets kill a few Brazilians just to show them who their daddy is...after all these are the people who allowed NAZI war criminals into brazil...scumbags!!
