The misinformation on David Goldman's case

The misinformation on the custody case that David Goldman has spurred is so hypocritical that I can't be quite about it anymore.

It's just that since I'm a Brazilian and Law graduated in there, I'm very aware of the law involving this case; at the beginning I was even sympathetic about his side of the story, but once one searches the other side and I heared in my native language the other side and all the legal and fact issues and the more he gets the liberal NBC sympathy and ugly portray of his ex-wife who is no longer here to defend her side, it just shows his character.

It's important to note that there was no international kidnapping and that's the reason that he wasn't getting the child custody recently; Bruna Bianchi brought Sean Goldman to Brazil with the biological father's acceptance, doesn't even matter if he argues that he didn't know, because that is other issue, and as far as the information goes, he was supposed to go there and didn't; thus, they got divorced and it's legal for a Brazilian citizen to get divorced in her own country, thus maintain the child custody.

Now, why didn't he go there ? How can a father doesn't go to visit his child for 5 years ? His argument that the family didn't allow him to see the child is so visibly false! The family did not impede him of seeing his biological father.

One day I saw David interview showing one single package that he tried sending to his son and had been returned to the USA while the family was away on vacation; I know it by own experience that many times when during my engagement my American husband sent some package it would have to be taken at the Postal office until 15 days, but if the person is away it goes back to the sender!

As far as I know he didn't try to get the custody of his son while his ex wife, Bruna Bianchi was alive...Though, weirdly while talking to her on the phone, he recorded her voice, thus only showing on TV her voice, but not what he was saying...Isn't that strange?

The relevant aspect of the story is that when David Goldman got divorced, he never wanted to see his child again, only after his ex died, though alleging international kidnapping citing the Hagen Convention.

Now, it seems they weren't happily married and Bruna's mother has mentioned that the boy even saw some fights...Now David pretends that he knew nothing was wrong and blames on a person that is no longer here to contradict him.

He just portrays Sean's mother as an unhealthy selfish person when he's been exploiting the child's imagine and getting the sympathy of multitudes through NBC's endorsement of his cause due the dramatization of it to attract more viewers to their money making drama.

In all Brazilian news, not once you can ever see Sean's clear face! Yet on MSNBC, you can see clear pictures of Sean's face which is an abuse of his privacy and goes against children's protection.

David Goldman has exploited so much his own biological son's imagine to gain power and money that it's frightening; in his website he was even selling his dead ex wife's picture in an apron and T-shirts with Sean's face and I did happen to see it in his site a year ago when I felt bad for this dad.


That's one of the reasons Brazil wasn't allowing him to come back and not that they weren't respecting the Hagen Convention!It had been decided that the Convention wasn't applicable to this case.

It's ought to be explained that after Bruna's death, the Step-father was able to get only temporary guardianship of the child, since that a child can't be without guardianship under Brazilian Law and besides the boy has gotten a baby sister there and he's got dual citenship; nevertheless only after her death is that Mr.Goldman really intented to get Sean' custody, since he never asked for visitation.

Besides that, according to Brazilian Law and to the Hagen Convention that the USA and Brazil are signers, it must consider the well-being of the child; Brazil does give preference to giving custody's to biological parents,unless that is not the best for the child's well-being.

Now, Sean's Brazilian family is a prestigious family in Brazil; Bruna was a business lady and she happened to remarry Joao Paulo Linz that comes from a highly competent lawyer's family and they happen to enjoy a highly life style.

I know which neighborhood Sean was living, because I happen to have lived there as well and I know New Jersey pretty well as well and it's just almost impossible that he would be able to adjust to the drastic change.

The point is that I sensed that David's exposition to the media and etc, just showed a lack of character and it was visible that he was after the money that The Bianchi and Linz family possesses and today it has surfaced that he desires to get at least U$500,000 from the Brazilian family! The child is Bruna Bianchi's heir, so that makes sense for him to want so much the custody after so many years of neglect of visiting his son.

Besides that American politicians such as the one in New Jersey that threatened Brazil with U$ 3 Billion Dollars product tax fees is so illegal, besides the liberal media's help to Goldman and his Hillary and Obama's sympathy that wanted to talk to Brazil's president !

Don't they knew about the "Checks and Balances doctrine" that the "Executive Power" doesn't interfere with the "Legal Power" ?

Yet, all these American politicians seemed to fly to Brazil and Then other interests of some business men seemed to have influenced the Brazilian Supreme Court Judge...After some politician's involvement in a Justice Power case, and dealing with higher economic forces, even before the Judge's decision, the Brazilian Lawyers Union had sided with David Goldman.

But, one thing can be assured the truth always surfaces and at the end Justice will always prevail.

May G-d comfort the broken heart of the grandmother that knows the details of this ugly battle and now sees that David is really after her money; after all, his money has being flowing from his website to bring the child to the USA and from the media drama.


PS: Firt of all I'm doing is analysing the situation out of the perspective of the Media that influences in general people.

I'm not in anybody's favor or agaisnt David - what I'm doing is just analysing that some people just assume something against Sean's mother without the big picture and not aware of the legal matters judge things.

Besides, I'm in favor that a biological father stays with custody, nevertheless I find weird that he exposes his son's image at his site and makes money out of it: http://bringseanhome.org/index.html
and in youtube videos from interviews they add their own edition with Bruna's recording voice - and find weird that when a person is recording the other - one can lead the person to say what they want to hear.

Kidnapping means to abduct by force or fraud - so, I'm just analysing that there's an accusation without vehement proof that there was a fraud, since no child leaves a country without WRITTEN permition - he was supposed to go there anyways or there was problems in the marriage - in all the instances in Court understood that there was no kidnapping.

Thus, later when a couple signs divorce the custody is set, if they divorced, there was a settlement and custody is set.

The second part of the issue is that the mother died, thus the custody issue is raised again regarding the guardianship that the biological father is entitled - though elements of the child's well being is analysed and the question regarding a new born sister is raised.

All I'm doing is raising legal and facts issues, not taking sides, but due to the fact that I'm seeing big pictures and not taking sides, I find even more disturbing that people that do support the father right away assume: Oh you have an agenda or call out for ignorance!

I question why a father has to go into the media by showing his own son's image - thus, it's not healthy the exposition and the critic against the son's mother who is no longer here, but is being considered guilty without the privilege of doubt and all I'm doing is raising these questions.


Dual citizenship people and their mothers usually travel to their countries - mothers usually travel with babies and toddlers to their countries back and forth -

I'm not a big favor of divorce - the best is for couples to work out their differences, but I'm not going be judging or accusing people, thus just following the news media.

At least the media in Brazil didn't side with any side, just show the information on both sides and there's no selling of drama.

David asked for U$500,000 dollars, supposedly for legal fees but he's got donations for the law suit as it can be seen in his website above.

Now, you can just see that all people make up edition on videos for David as you can see at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to4F3Jb_aLI&feature=related

it shows the grandmother talking, and David's recordings - she's saying that David payed the mortgage and her daughter the bills, etc, she's not saying that he didn't work - also she was saying the presently Sean didn't call him father which came out in the press lately... and he was supposed to go on the third week there, and then they show a part of a recording...Weirdly a year ago there were products being sold at his dad's website.

I Just wish David be a good father and not exploit his son's image selling to the media.
