Hilma denies kidnapping on Brazil's "Today"

<< < (3/8) > >>

Dan_Plainview:
kittykat,

I'll admit that I viewed this through a prism and vantage point that not all have; probably a poor choice in words. Most likely some, with a more open mind, would have viewed it differently. Most of us wish we were selfless more than we are. When Hilma did adbuct her son, his best interests were not foremost in her mind ... her selfish desires were. She did not want to go through the divorce and custody processes in the US and sought another jurisdiction she felt might be more favorable (or possibly no fight would ensue, at all). After she succeeded in breaking the law, she convinced herself that she wasn't a bad person by justifying her actions to herself and others, making the LBP out to be "the bad guy" to anyone who will listen. I won't listen. I'm sure she has convinced herself that Kelvin Jr.'s new, closer relationship with his brasilian grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins can replace the void she made when she tried to eradicate his Father from his life. It can't.

She cares about herself first. She makes excuses for her illegal behavior which is not in the best interests of her child. It is her own selfish interest she serves and she goes on television to try and convince, perhaps persuasively, the public otherwise.

I don't buy it either, lovellboys ...

She probably did herself a lot of good with this performance.

Well, you're obviously not familiar with my literary career here at BSH. I'm one of the strongest opponents of gender discrimination in parenting and feel very strongly about father's rights. In my previous post I was merely pointing out the fact that most people feel that way about mothers or at least will be persuaded to feel that way about any mother that cries. I personally don't feel that way and believe this child should be brought back to the US and have a good relationship with both his parents.

I saw the 16plus minute of very bad acting. I saw those crocodile tears. This is so efen dumb! I think I heard the attorney mention the Hague part at the end of the interview. Makes me angry. This sucks. I hope they send the boy home--U.S.A

Let Hilma cry foul on national TV. But I have to agree with you on that one, Kittykat. I am from Brazil and I live in Miami, so I can totally relate to your statement. However, I'd like to think there have been some positive changes, not optimal but some; partly due to David's case in the way people are viewing parental rights in Brazil.
With the help of legislation and the media opening its channels (biased or not) to discuss and expose the subject of international child abduction, hopefully it will help end the ordeal of the LBP's.

Her lawyer and she are spouting the same lies and following the same script as the other criminals we've dealt with.  Nothing new here.  This is the Brazilian kidnappers modus operandi.  

Interesting they mention the Hague only in passing during the interview, but they mainly focus on the sovereinty of Brazil's government and justice system, and once again, on the child being "established" in the kidnappers country.  Of course, they also focus on the "authorization" of the father for the child to come to Brazil, but forget to mention that it was only for the vacation period, not for a kidnapping.

They are begging their justice system for an "injustice", a judicial lie, once again.  I hope that the Brazilian people see through these lies.  She's no better than Bruna was, running from justice.  A coward.
