The Bahamas: A ‘safe haven’ for abduction?

Dear Sir,

I am a 51-year-old single mother, writing from San Diego, California .

With all due respect, I am appalled at the judicial system in which Judge Gomez has granted attorneys the right to actually put on hold the inquest, stating : “allowing the inquest was flawed, because it was impossible to empanel a fair and impartial jury given the massive publicity”.

I have watched CNN everyday (practically all day) to get all the information I can about this particular case and Bahamian law, which I find quite informative. If you are not moving forward because of the publicity of this case and everyone knowing something about it, why does H K S (Howard K Stern) and his attorneys keep fighting every aspect of the inquest and paternity. They are making a mockery of The Bahamas. The notion of someone from another country along with his attorneys wanting to change the laws in your country... this alone tends to bring more Focus/Attention to the case. I sit here day-in day-out in disbelief that the judicial system has carried this thus far.

Question: If this continues the way it is heading, and the courts do not put some kind of resolution to the frivolous lawsuits and appeals, will The Bahamas become a “SAFE HAVEN” for abductors from other countries, including but not limited to the USA, to abduct children and flee to The Bahamas. Think about it... this can open a big can of worms. Also, food for thought... I hope by the Grace of God that everyone finds it in their hearts to bring this entire saga to a resolution soon. Pray and seek guidance from the Lord and unite this precious gift from God to be with her blood relative(s) albeit father, grandmother, etc.

Yours, etc,

Ms Rollings
