[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child is five now. Likely some shared custody might be in the best interest of the child. For the sake of the child, being ripped away from your family to stay with people you don't know at 5 would be quite traumatic. [/quote]
That was the Masts goal in delaying the case and keeping her this long, so it would be rewarding them.[/quote]

At the end of the day rewarding or punishing the adults should be secondary to limiting the trauma to the child. Ripping a five year old away from the only family they have known would be horrible for the child and would likely have long lasting impacts. [/quote]

Moving her would, undoubtedly, be hard, but kids who face sudden changes in caregivers can recover.  Growing up and realizing your parents were kidnappers would be hard too.

They also need to think about precedent.  International kidnapping isn't something that our court system can reward.  Kidnappers can't get the message that if they drag out the custody battle long enough they can keep the child.  [/quote]
