Parents try to recover runaway teen in Brazil
The parents of a 15-year-old American girl are seeking to get their daughter back after she ran away with her boyfriend to Brazil, where authorities handed her over to the boyfriend's family.
The Brazilian authorities' decision to give custody of Samantha Hernandez to her boyfriend's uncle, while a legal action against her goes through the system, has left her family and U.S. officials scratching their heads.
"If this was a senator's daughter, if this was a congressman's daughter, somebody would've gotten her back already," said Samantha's father, Robert Hernandez of Florida.
On August 29, Samantha and her boyfriend, whom she had met online less than a year ago, boarded a flight from Boston, Massachusetts, to Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with Samantha using a fake passport, police said.
Nice how everyone on here blames Brazil, but...hmmm...wasn't it Boston's Logan Airport who even let this girl board the plane bound for Brazil??? Now isn't this the SAME airport who also allowed the hijackers to board a plane that smashed into WTC???? USA always does finger pointing, Point at Boston's Logan Airport for starters they allowed this 15 year old to even board the plane in the first place, What about all this Great Homeland security?? Guess it truly doesn't exist! Now you also point fingers at this 15 year old that she is so immature bla,bla and maybe she is or could be, But what your failing to realize when a teenager talks like this one is, you have to question what is going on in her life AT home. because it is evident there are serious problems underlying to have even brought all of this to happen.
Brazil has a terrible track record with returning *our* children. Whether there is more going on at home or not, Brazil has an obligation to return children to their country of origin. She needs to be brought home, and DFS needs to sort out the, "why's."
Honestly, I wish we'd sanction Brazil until they get off the stick and start sending our kids home. Leaving US occupation on the table, for those so inclined with that mindset. π
Why don't you send the Marines to Brazil?
Oh wait, they are too fat to fight in tropical jungles... :-)))
She thinks you are boring and anoying:
Rage against the machine!!!
yeah!!! blame it all in Brazil! the Roman Empire with its great Boston Airport, staff, security, american airlines, screeners, passport readers..has NOTHING to do with that!!! no wonder this south asia, no..wait a minute, this african country depend on us to buy their coffee. Isn't? who cares about their laws? those jungle monkeys has no laws!!! so, let's stop buying some coffee from this african country and destroy it!!! and if doens't work, we bomb them!!!!!!!
P.s: is there a typical american ignorance or am I just been ironic?
