I to have talked to George on several occasions. Just remember one thing. It's all lip service until they put action behind the words. Yes it's encouraging but it's all talk as I've had before until I see actions.
I have to agree with this. It's great that the BCA has improved their customer service division but let's ask ourselves the obvious question, is a more competent and responsive individual at the BCA going to improve Brazil's performance with the Hague? Is this guy's positive attitude and attentiveness to the cases going to make them move through the courts any faster?
Just watching these STJ judges make fools of themselves doesn't give me much hope. No matter what the BCA says or does, the way Brazil allows these cases to languish in their incredibly slow and inefficient courts speaks volumes about how seriously they take the issue of international parental child abduction.
Think about this for a moment. We know that Judge Pinto is one of the few who gets it down in Brazil, but when his opinions and return orders can be laughed at and mocked by the likes of Marco Aurelio and Nancy Andrighi, there's little to no hope that even if a LBP is fortunate enough to get a return order, the child ever sets foot on an airplane to head home.
