He is not doing what his wife did 5 years ago. His wife abducted the boy illegally. The man has fought 5 years to get his boy back after a criminal kidnapping. Sure it will be difficult at first because these criminals have convinced the boy that they abducted that his father abandoned him. But the boy will soon understand the truth and understand the depths of his fathers love for him.

[mrhandsrevenge]

Yes, but not this bad. This case involved a criminal abduction to another country. Very extreme! Hence the media attention. This was not just a typical divorce; it was a criminal and immoral act.

Sean's Stepfather is a fag - how could he be a good father - his side of the family are Brazilian terrorists and actually belong the BrazMafia

Congratulation for win the batle. David congratulation for the revenge. David in anytime did you think about what is Sean desire? YOu lost Sean on the day you took him away from the only life his know.Love isn't revenge. That boy is in somemuch pain right now that probably he will bloked his emotions now. But one day when he grow up he will question you and hate you. No matter what you say on TV.Love isn't that.

[happynurse63]

Merry Christmas Sean & David!

[pthaeloblue]

Congrats to David his family and Sean! Justice prevailed!

[mrhandsrevenge]

You are an ignorant child.

[froufrakia]

thank god nbc and the congressman were with him..... CONGRATULATIONS!

what the witch in brazil did to him.....has nothing to do with david...completely different things,,,, They humiliated Sean...these people, don`t deserve to raise kids,because they are inhuman

[derandlu]

Sure the plane was not his, it belonged to NBC which is what? MEDIA. So do not BS me with this lecture of he wanted to protect the child from the cameras. He had the media with him in the plane. DUH!!!

[florzinnha]

the cruel crime os sean's brazlian family is love him.

[alexrj2]

it's an absurd. onlu with Us blackmail, pressure etc. as they did in Iraq

[cne08]

@LacyB71. Sadly you're right. Sean's Brazilian family decided to parade him infront of reporters. They could've avoided that but didn't.

[mcbiro]

You said everything the boy is paying for the erros of the parents, nobody really cares about Sean. I wish he "survive" well this hard moment(again) and have a good life in USA.

[faeryquene]

The stepfather I can understand holding on to Sean-but what's with that attorney Tostes with his arm thrown over Sean before the mob got there? Showboat.

[113katie]

I am sooo happy that David has finally won custody of his son. He was classy and well poised throughout these painful years and throughout the trial. I hope Sean adjusts great with David. They both deserve the best!

As for Sean's Braillian family. They are disgusting. Especially when they said his grandma regular contact with sean, however she didn't have a back bone when it came time for allowing David visitation. They are selfish, cruel and arrogant brazillians.

[nicstepro]

I just wish someone had some empathy 4 the child & quit high-fiving the dad like he won a trophy. He's doing what his wife did 5 yrs b4. Except now Sean knows &remembers the family he's being ripped away from. & he'll see all the reports of his 'father' calling his dead mom & family he loved/loves criminals & kidnappers. Nah. no harm there. And his own wants and (to him) 'rights' dismissed without a thought by his 'dad' and the legal system. Child is victimized twice. Yeah, I'm in the minority.

[michaelmirraandmarc]

I would just make sure that those visits are very well monitored. You never know what those people will have up their sleeve. I wouldn't even doubt if they would try to abduct him agaian.

[michaelmirraandmarc]

It's not about revenge. It's about keeping him away from people that did something very cruel to him, But like "ShutUpH00ker" said. He will probably realize what happened as he gets older, and hopefully distance himself from them.

[kbzensen]

Reminds me of the movie "not without my daughter...

[gildodorio]

mcbiro:

Probably a book will be written and after we will have a movie.

[gildodorio]

Sean has a half sister. Is your sister a criminal? Of course Sean will be visited.

[Pimentinha1980]

Brasil realmente tem liberdades que nenhum outro país tem, LIBERDADE PARA SEQUESTRADORES! Affff ......
