I'm Brazilian and I'm so happy because things ended up in favor of Mr. Goldman! Thank God I was suffering with his ordeal. I was missing justice in my country. Mr. Goldman, Merry Christmas and Happy new year, you, Sean, and your loved ones.Please be sure many Brazilians were entirely supportive of your cause.

Thank God this seems to be over and Sean will finally be back where he truly belongs! God bless the Goldman family and all those who supported them!

@anacqv uhhh yes she was still legally arried to david when arrying her brazlan husband she never filed for divorce in new jersey and fyi david also runs a boating charter buisness so he was working and paying bills get your facts straight

I am amazed at the number of ad hominem personal attacks evidenced against David Goldman in his FINE YEAR LONG nightmare to see and be with his OWN AMERICAN SON. They bear witness to a weird psychopathology on display with the Brazilian family and their supporters. They attempt to justify kidnapping and keeping a boy away from his BIOLOGICAL FATHER who has never been adjudicated to be unfit or incapacitated in any way. What a sick people and sick country who believe they are the victims here.

1. Bruna said so her self that he was a good husband and father the only reason she left him was because she wanted to go back to Brazil because she did not like working as a teacher and she wanted to be in brazil to live the rich life with her family..

2. If David would have went by there rules he would have never been able to see/bring Sean home with him because that was Bruna's families plan, was to trap him in so he could not get around to bringing Sean back to the states..

One more thing... didn't David spread all over America that his wife married a man... while she was married to him...? How about that fact... you do not make comment? As mentioned... after two years... if you filed for separation and divorce... even if the other does not accept, you can be considered divorced, after the judge decides so. It's clear that he used this to show he was a poor lovely man that has be innocently left. I just ask... read facts from both sides before saying he is right!

[anacqv]

I know exactly that he has talked with the Grandma and sms he sent. It could have been easily manipulated by David....who says it wasn't? I do think he is happy with his dad, but it's not like he wasn't happy before... On American tv all make it sound as if he has finally been saved.... saved from what? Let's see how this saga will continue... because it's not over.

[anacqv]

I think you see only the facts that he pointed out on his side and you do not know the other side of the coin. And yes, I do think he is a opportunist because he has been living and going thru this saga , counting on donations... and now is planning on taking 500 thousand dollars from Bruna's parents... saying that's what it cost him. Well, if it's donation money, it didn't really cost him anything... so clearly it shows a bad character there.

[anacqv]

As any lawyers know... and maybe you should read as well... there are many phases in a case... and am sure if he had a court order that should permit visitation that would have been done. While Bruna was alive he never really cared about insisting and coming. She left him for reasons he doesn't really say... as if nothing was wrong. Therefore is normal that she didn't want to have that much contact with him... but if he did have a positive court rulling he would have been able to see his son.

[anacqv]

So far as I know it, Bruna was the one that had to work as a teacher to pay the big bills at home since David's job did not really help at all...maybe to pay eletricity! He worked in what after all... selling houses on the internet during his free time at home... and telling his son that his mom, Bruna didn't love him, since she didn't spend time with him. He had to stay at home since he was an old model that didn't have jobs coming in and was only able to stay home... in his so called work.

[anacqv]

I know cases like this all the time... but what I can tell you he is not completely a saint as he is presenting himself. He could have found a different way to pay the lawyers... and not black mail his parents in law.

[anacqv]

David knew that Bruna didn't have money and who did was the parents. SO he inserted the parents name in the process and accepted them to pay their way out since they were well known people and this could ruin their image. So in a way that's what I call blackmail!!! They used a court case, to involve the grandparents so that they would pay him to take them out. Unacceptable is him using this to get money to pay for the court case he started. And yes, I know lawyers are expensive and am a lawyer.
