At the risk of repeating myself, that is the crux of the issue. The Dunhams couldn't provide evidence that they were in any way related to the boy.
Of course they could, obie would have needed a notorized document from his parents as to who what when where and why...he ended up living with them, so aparently they convinced someone...airline wouldnt have let him on an international flight without it or a parent..they would have to pay to send him back if he was denied entry and excluded...
the illegal minor rugrats these days are not coming here on common carriers, except possibly as stowaways..no planes no ships...no trains..
Parental consent/permission letter
What should a parental consent/permission letter look like? Is there a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) form?
There is not a CBP Form letter, however, the parental consent letter should include: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and contact information for the absent parent(s).
Having the letter notarized is not necessary but highly recommended. For frequent border crossers, the letter should not exceed one year. It is recommended to have the letter in English.
