November 26, 1998 Thanksgiving day.... As expected, many parent have called today in search of some support to help them make it through the day. I do the best I can, realizing I too gain support from talking with them. One father that called already experienced his two children abducted. They have been recovered, but the courts saw fit to continue granting custody to the mother/abductor. This man fears that each time he sees his children, will be the last. I was amazed that opposing council, I will refer to her simply as " No-call", the lady with the ugly shoes, appears totally unconcerned about the threat of re-abduction. The court seems to be unconcerned too and even stated it was not a concern. Amazingly, in all the hearings in this case, not a single expert on the subject was allowed to testify on the record concerning international abduction. There is little I can offer this man. He knows he is facing the possible lose of his children....the only thing I can do is to help him "paint the Polar bear". God willing, and with Interpol's help, we will.
