UNICEF Convention on the Rights of a Child
Articles 9 & 10: “… a child shall not be separated from his or her parents against their will … [and shall be permitted to cross national borders] for … family reunification ….”
ANS told Larry, G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelly...and who knows who else that Larry was the father and that her plan to go to the Bahamas was to prevent him from asserting his paternity.
Article 33: States shall “protect children from the illicit use of … drugs and … prevent the use of children in [their] production and trafficking.”
The "home" in which she resides is headed by someone who has been known to have drugs which are illegal in the Bahamas in his posession (methadone) and has had two people die of overdoses in his care or presence in the past 7 months.
Article 35: States shall “prevent the abduction of, sale of or traffic in children for any purpose or in any form.”
Based on the fact that we have reason to believe that another man is the father, HKS is using the Bahamas to in effect abduct the child from his rightful biological father.
HELLO??? Is anyone in the Bahamas listening???
I think the problem here is that until the DNA test results are known LB wouldn't have standing as the father.
Since DL is in the questionable 'care' of HKS, it seems the Conventions could be employed to put DL in the custody of Virgie, at least until paternity is determined.
