Jabbs, I agree! I can't see where the US has ANY jurisdiction here....And I can't imagine this mother's pain because of their ignorance...The child was born in Mexico, so regardless of her mother's poverty, we are NOT entitled to make any decision...I find it ironic that we are constantly sending illegal residents back to their own country, but holding this child against her mother's wishes!  |

I realize she is a citizen of Mexico..but she has been in the United States for 5 years..Does she mainly speak English now? If she goes back to Mexico will she get the help she needs? I think there is probably more going on than we know, but on the surface is does seem really unfair.  |

Hi Zeeboette. Well, as of right now the Mexican consolate is supposed to be "going to bat" for this family. I can only hope that this state will soon realize that they should have NO authority here.... |

Hi Kelly. I'm sure English probably is her primary language....BUT, how many cases have we heard about American children being kidnapped and taken to foreign countries....The American parents get them back if they are found, regardless of their learned language. Why should this child be any different? Being a mother, I am totally sympathetic to this woman's pain, and feel that in the least OK. is being unjust.... |

I think that it might be a little overwhelming for her since she really doesn't know her mother, but that is where she needs to be.....I would feel homicidal if I were this mother... |

That was the first thing I thought too Keth. We sent him back to Cuba! So, why would there be anything to "decide" where this little girl is concerned? |

Hey Jung. I know exactly how you are feeling.....Jez. It strikes me that this country has the misconception that they can decide everything for every other country as well as their citizens. This situation really has me fuming..... |

Because the State of Oklahoma took care of the child for five years....the Mother can't just come up & get her daughter....you know the State wants some compensation for taking care of the the daughter for so long. That is one theory, I am sure there are many, besides the Federal or State laws that stem from the issue. *sigh* ~Ms.  |

I'm sure there ARE a lot of issues....all Bureaucratic. But the MORAL issue is this girl needs to be with her mother, period... |

In theory that may play a big role. BUT, the state wouldn't have taken care of this child, had she not been kidnapped. Her mother shouldn't lose her because of state regulations. The child is still an illegal alien at the very least....Therefor I can't see ANY law that should keep her away from her mother....I think it is truly a sad day and age when the US creates laws that would harbor a child that is a citizen of another country, at the angst of her mother who had no power over where her little girl ended up living. |

I agree with you Jessica. I watched the news again last night and they didn't say anything else about it, so I'm going to continue watching and hoping that this state will do the RIGHT thing...Not holding my breath though.... |
