BREAKING NEWS: Brazil Supreme Court Chief Justice Gilmar Mendes has ordered the spiteful Brazilian family to (get real and) rightfully hand over the nine-year old child to his American father, ending what was expected to be another two months wait. Mr Goldman, the father, has waged this legal fight for five years and, so, is not taking anything for granted until he has his son in his arms back home in New Jersey.
The step-father, himself an attorney from a prominent lawyer family, and the lot just don't get it. The mother committed a serious breach of international agreement and, as far as I'm concerned, nothing short of a crime in transporting the child to a foreign land and cutting off access to his biological parent. The maternal grandmother penned a letter to President Lula de Silva in which she stressed:
Our moral foundation values the mother's role. In the absence of the mother, the raising should be done by the grandmother. That's how it's done in Brazil, from north to south, regardless of race, religion or social class. It's natural that foreigners, with a different foundation, would not understand these authentically Brazilian feelings.
Um, hello to Third World: that's sexist bullshit.
But, hey, you'll always have Carnaval!
