Bring Sean Home - Brazilian newspaper

O encontro do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva com o presidente americano, Barack Obama, em 17 de março, deverá acontecer em meio a um protesto contra o governo brasileiro em frente à Casa Branca. A manifestação está sendo organizada pelo grupo BringSeanHome, que luta pela repatriação do menino Sean Goldman, filho de David Goldman e da brasileira Bruna Bianchi Ribeiro.

O pai tenta há mais de quatro anos obter a devolução de seu filho, de 8 anos. David, que é americano, casou-se com Bruna em 1999. Sean nasceu em 2000. Quatro anos depois, a brasileira voltou ao Brasil com o filho, pediu o divórcio e entrou na Justiça pela guarda do menino.

A brasileira casou-se de novo em 2007 com o advogado João Paulo Lins e Silva. Em agosto passado, em decorrência de complicações no parto da filha, Bruna morreu. Sean continua vivendo com o padrasto, que se recusa a devolvê-lo.

"Espero que as autoridades brasileiras tomem a única decisão correta, de me reunir com meu filho", disse Goldman. "Não há desculpa nem explicação para o que está ocorrendo."

Ontem, a secretária de Estado americana, Hillary Clinton, falou do caso Goldman em sua reunião com o ministro de Relações Exteriores, Celso Amorim. "Ela disse que o caso é importante e sensível", disse Amorim. Ele voltou a enfatizar a posição brasileira de que "se trata de um assunto da Justiça". A Casa Branca não aceita essa posição e considera um caso regido por acordos internacionais, pela Convenção de Haia.

O caso Sean Goldman está mobilizando congressistas americanos e ameaça prejudicar as relações bilaterais. Há resoluções tramitando no Senado e na Câmara pedindo a devolução de Sean. Senadores recentemente propuseram uma resolução exigindo que o Brasil cumpra os requerimentos da Convenção de Haia e deixe Sean voltar a viver com pai.

Integrantes do grupo BringSeanHome dizem que há mais de 50 crianças americanas no Brasil na mesma situação. "Nós encorajamos todas as pessoas a entrar em contato com a secretária Hillary Clinton e o presidente Barack Obama antes da visita do presidente Lula, para que o sequestro de Sean faça parte da agenda do encontro", diz um e-mail enviado pela organização. "O Rio de Janeiro é uma das cidades finalistas para sediar as Olimpíadas de 2016 e nós queremos que o sequestro de Sean seja levado em conta na hora de escolher o vencedor", prossegue a carta.

kept private?... what if it was your kid? There are 50 more children that were kidnapped and taken to Brazil, hopefully there has been enough attention payed to David & Sean's issue that it could possibly help all of the other families that don't have the resources that the Goldman's have to get their kids back where they belong..

Hinidas: 1. An 8 yr old child according to most laws is not old enough to make the decision to stay in Brazil.

2. What kind of crap are they filling his head with, he's gonna go NUTs in the US?

3. He (Silva) Is NOT Sean's stepfather because the mother was still legally married to David. If their (silva & bruna's) marriage was legal then that just makes her a bigamist, karma got her. Why didn't the Mother take into consideration Sean's best interest when she kidnapped him?

@curious5849 sean was not kidnapped to brazil... he went there with his mother that sadly died and now the kid must go to a coutry that he dont know and live with a family that he dont got a long family relation and leave his step father and his granma and grandfather that he loves away.

i think david must leave sean on brazil and go visit him when he wants and sean go sometimes to stay some days with his dad too but not simply never come back to his home that is brazil

[MrsNJNative]

nobody doubts that his Brazilian family loves Sean. That doesn't mean that they have the right to keep him from his father. That includes his mother. His father has just as much right to be with his son as the mother.

Thank God this fiasco is over and Sean is reunited with his loving father. From footage I've seen he looks very happy playing with his dad and Goldman relatives. It's a new beginning. The nightmare is over.

[ELFELICIANO]

@oprah999 Foreign aid to Brazil? They should send aid to the 1 in 8 american that struggle with hunger...lol

Sean will speak...Im looking forward to hear what he has to say.....

[MrsNJNative]

No, Brazil is not a USA posession.... and Sean Goldman is not a possesion of the Bianchi/Lins e Silva families. He belongs with his father. The circus is purely a Brazilian produced farce which would have been avoided had Sean not been abducted 4 yrs ago.

[ecfeitosa]

BRAZILLIAN CITIZENS don't care about Sean, NJ Corrupted Politicians, DEMONcrats, Sean's Father, Brazilian Governmt or USA Retaliations. WE ARE NOT YOUR POSSESION. TAKE this Kid back PLZ ! End of the Story !
