No, I’d say it was our troglodytic state court who sent an Americanized child to a hostile, foreign, alien culture. Absolutely criminal. And, btw, this is the same evil court that ruled the brutal rape and murder of an elderly woman wasn’t heinous enough to warrant the death penalty
Parental rights are foundational. One may not like the outcome but they are the bottomline.
Nice try. That only applies in civilized nations, and certainly not where it causes enormous and crippling damage to the child in question. Doesn’t matter how she got here, it only mattered her current situation and what was best for the child and her rights. If she was an infant, long before she had time to be culturally acclimated, you may have an argument, but not here.
That was a judicial fiat abduction of an American child to an alien, hostile nation, for which she has no connection except genetics, a profound and cruel punishment for a child that only knows this country (and my state), one who is wholly Americanized. This was even a more obscene violation of rights than the Elian Gonzales example as I cited, which saw an extralegal & violent repatriation of a child to a terrorist dictator (since at least Elian was raised in that country and was not wholly alien).
