Sheriff addresses Russian adoption case

Bedford County (Tenn.) Sheriff Randall Boyce held a press conference after Torry and Nancy Hansen, the adoptive mother and grandmother of a 7-year-old Russian boy whom they sent back to Russia unaccompanied in an apparent attempt to undo the adoption, canceled a scheduled appointment to discuss the case with Boyce.

@shozma Congratulations, of all the comments in this video, yours is by far the most representative of American classical stupidity and unbelievable ignorance. But just to make sure you fit the stereotype, could you please tell me if you speak a second language or if at least, are you able to find your own country in a map? Let me know cause I think you are so stupid you should have your own article in Wikipedia. Seriously, no kidding.

@ConcernedCitizen931 Are you kidding?!? First off, this woman ABANDONED a seven year old child. I don't care what type of mental issues he had, he was a child in her care. Secondly, how can you make a general statement like that about Russians? That's just ignorant. I'm so sure EVERY single person in that country has a mental issue...just like EVERY single American is fat, right? By the way, I'm American, not Russian. Your ignorance is appalling.

@HongKongKanto That is just untrue.  There are bad people everywhere in the world, including America AND Russia. You can't judge a whole country simply by what a few people have done.

americans are a bunch of nazis, they are racist against russians they want to gas us.

Who wants a crazy kid like that?? Send 'em back where they belong. The bio parents didn't want this spawn for a reason...

I don't believe she deserves to be in jail!

Have you ever researched on how violent and mentally unstable Russians are?

All they do is drink liquor so they can maintain some type of body heat.

She doesn't deserve to sit in jail.

Bedford County Needs A Change!

Rod Stacey For Sherriff!

I am shocked that this woman has not been charged with anything. the child was never enroled in school and no records were found for home schooling, he also has been found to have had his hair pulled by his adoptive mother.

it's not just international adoption. it happened to me too - and I'm an American citizen who was dropped off at the Santa Clara County Children's Shelter

How can you just send a kid back like that? She could have atleast gone with him.
