Chantilly mom ships teen daughter to Siberia. Two years later, she’s still there. Really.

Believe me, it does NOT take 13 years. Assuming her mom married an American, she would have been eligible for her citizenship three years later, and that means she and the kid. Why didn't that happen??

It doesn't seem like the mom really cared about this kid.

Mothers consent is not needed

No, I think her green card needs renewal and mom has to sign. Think I read that somewhere.

sounds like child abandonement.
the authorities in Russia could have charged her with that and asked for deportation

It is not. The mother sent her to her father. And God know what are the laws in Russia...

Is this a real post? Is there really someone who thinks that anything about this is okay?

A 15 year old is still a child! If that child is having behavior issues, you tackle that as a family. I've never met a family with a troubled teen that didn't either have an underlying health / disorder / issue or where the family life was not questionable.

If my kids were doing all of that, I'd be lining up therapists for the whole family and asking myself what I did wrong.

In Russia, if a parent doesn't take proper care of the child, his/her parental rights get terminated, and a child will be placed under custody of the 2nd parent or a relative. If no relatives can take custody, a child is placed in an orphanage and becomes available for adoption.

This is true if the parent requests papers for the daughter.
When my mother applied for a green card, I was only 11. She filled out the papers for my baby brothers but not me.
It wasn't until I was 24 that i got my legal green card.

I am not questioning you, I just think it's bizarre the mom did not request it.

Do you know why did your mom not request it for you?

Apparently she is in Morocco now. What I don't understand is who is the biological father of Maria? It looks like the Moroccan guy. But it's not mentioned in the article. Although he is holding both girls in the picture. The mother will get rid of her too one day
