Long time ago, I have realized that there are thousands of parents who are in the same boat....mothers and fathers whose children have been taken away from them by the other parent. Some of them have given up and some of them are waging legal battles in foreign jurisdictions with mixed results. A website started in support of one such parent, David Goldman of NJ, has gained traction and attacts tons of visitors. Forums section on the site has stories of other LBPs (Left Behind Parents). An acronym that I absolutely hate and detest....but unfortunately an appropriate one.
God knows when nations will get together and do something concrete to prevent this from happening again. All the treaties and conventions they have come up with so far have proved of little or no value to the children involved and the parents left behind. It is tragic that nations can not work together on something as simple as protecting children of the world. No wonder world peace still remains a mere pipe dream.
