NEW YORK - The New York police have defined this affair as “the first ever 
kidnapping of a child of a same-sex couple.” A good Jewish boy from Boston 
is charged with kidnapping his son and taking him to 
Israel<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3284752,00.html>. 


 
E. arrived in New York a few years ago as part of his job in a high-tech 
company. He met 29-year old J., who is also Jewish, and four years ago the 
two were joined in marriage.

Full story <http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3555072,00.html>   

 
They flew to Massachusetts, a state which permits homosexual marriage, and 
conducted a very exclusive wedding ceremony in the presence of their family 
and friends. 

 
It seemed that the two had created a completely normal familial lifestyle. 
To complete the picture, the couple decided to adopt a child. One of the 
couple’s female friends, who bore witness to their yearning for a child, 
agreed to be the surrogate mother and gave birth to their child two years 
ago. 

 

Throughout the past year, bitter arguments had ensued between the couple 
and they decided to separate. 

 

"E. became extremely jealous of the time I was spending with our baby," J. 
told the Daily News.

 
In September, the two split, officially. The court who heard this case 
decided to give custody of the child to J. and determined that E. can see 
him on weekends. 

 
Last weekend, E. arrived to pick his son up for their regular weekend 
visit. He asked J. if he could keep their child with him two extra days, 
claiming that he wanted the baby to meet with his grandparents who live in 
Boston. 

 
J. agreed, not knowing what E.’s true intentions were. E. was supposed to 
return the boy to J. on Tuesday morning, but when the afternoon rolled 
around and the baby and E. did not answer his cellular phone, J. began to 
worry. 

 
A few hours later, E. called J. and told him that he fled with the baby to 
Israel and ended the conversation saying, “You will never see him again.” 

 
A New York police investigation revealed that E. and his baby flew from New 
York to Israel last Monday. E., who is still residing in Israel, has 
already stated that he does not intend on returning to the United States. 

 
With his attorney’s assistance, J. turned to State Department 
representatives in Washington who deal with kidnapping cases outside of US 
borders. 

 
The US representatives have turned to the Israeli police and asked them to 
deal with this case. 

 
It is currently unknown where E. and his son are residing in Israel. In the 
meantime, J. is sitting in his New York residence with a picture of the 
baby in utter shock. 

 

"I thought E. was the right person for me," said J., "but I was wrong. I 
told people he was capable of doing anything, but no one listened to me."

Children kidnapped to Israel to return to Sweden 

*Israeli woman kidnapped children from former Swedish spouse last year 
claiming their father is dangerous; Supreme Court rules children to return 
to Sweden, be handled by neutral welfare authorities*

 The Supreme 
Court<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4440400,00.html>ended a 
long-lasting drama Wednesday, ruling that an Israeli woman must 
hand over her daughter and son to welfare authorities in Sweden, where 
their father resides, and where she kidnapped them from a year ago claiming 
their father abused them. 

 

Since then, a long legal battle was sparked, where each side claimed the 
other parent was harming the children. Finally, the Supreme Court ruled the 
children, aged 6 and 11, have become instruments of war in the hands of 
their parents, and that they must be reassigned to the hands of a neutral 
side in Sweden <http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4418622,00.html>.

The father is a Swedish citizen, and the mother is an Israeli who holds a 
Swedish passport. After their relationship formed, the mother moved to 
Sweden, where the children were born. In 2008, the couple separated after a 
tumultuous relationship involving Swedish police and welfare services. 
Social authorities in Sweden determined the children will live with the 
father, but last year the mother arrived to 
Israel<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3284752,00.html>with them.

 
The father appealed to the Petah 
Tikva<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4324089,00.html>Family Court 
and claimed that under the 
Hague <http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4383700,00.html>Convention, 
the mother's act was considered kidnapping. The mother did not 
deny the allegations, yet claimed the father was violent towards her and 
the children, including sexually abusing their daughter. She added that the 
children fear returning to Sweden to the point of suicidal thoughts from 
the son. 

 
The lawyers representing the mother claimed the act falls under Article 13b 
in the Hague Convention as the children are at grave risk if they return to 
Sweden. 

 
A court-ordered psychologist determined the children are in difficult 
condition due to the situation between their parents, and recommended they 
be transferred to Swedish welfare. The mother appealed the decision, and 
the Central District Court granted the appeal, based on a psychiatric 
evaluation noting that the son might execute his threat to kill himself. 

 
The father appealed to the Supreme Court claiming the danger for the minors 
is from their mother, and that the court's ruling sets precedent to parents 
seeking to abduct children in the future, who would pose empty threats of 
suicide in their children's mouths to prevent their return. 

 
Two weeks ago, another drama occurred when the father claimed his son 
contacted him online and said the mother was 
abusing<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4428383,00.html>him. 
Following this, the father arrived in Israel and took the son to the 
police. At the end of the investigation, the boy refused to return to his 
mother's home and left with his father; the father claimed to the Supreme 
Court that due to this incident, the mother's claims of the son fearing to 
be with his father are false. 

 

Supreme Court judges said the father's claim cannot be denied, and ruled to 
transfer the children to Swedish authorities. "The general picture is sad 
and sorrowing, and the decision is not easy," the judges stated. "In the 
new circumstances created, we cannot determine transferring (the children) 
to Swedish authorities for diagnosis for the boy (apart from both his 
parents) creates a threat to the minor's well-being, since it fully 
fulfills the tenets of the Hague Convention."
