Transcripts
when did you realize how metha
was that situation with you well not
until recently if I had stayed in Brazil
I would have missed the growing up here
like I already did nice tile decent I'm
out of it in some of the most important
years honestly
Shawn was abducted in June 16th of 2004
and he was almost gone for six years
[Music]
when I got a phone call from his mom on
Father's Day
she said she decided to live in Brazil
our love affair is over I'm a great guy
I'm the best father she could ever
imagine for our son but she's decided to
live in Brazil well being in Brazil I
was under parent alienation so my
thoughts were pretty much skewed because
I was being fed false information about
everything so honestly I cannot tell you
exactly what I would say at this point
if I was still living in Brazil this
whole entire time I'm sure I would want
to come and visit here but I don't know
about moving completely I mean that's
why I was really scared to move here in
the first place until I realized what
was going on
he called me dad when we first met in
Brazil and then he wasn't allowed to and
then it took him probably about 10 days
or so after he was home before we
started calling me Dad together I'm
working I have a job at a marina and
that's a lot of fun I go to the gym
almost every day and try to hang out
with my friends as much as possible I go
to the beach I really like going to the
beach I can understand more than I can
speak but a fallen Paul could have
bought the gays poco he let him go to
the gym let him be a boy let him be a
teen let him figure things out let him
have the freedom to make his own
decisions my freshman year I played a
football American football basketball
and lacrosse my high school career went
on I couldn't balance all of that in
school and everything so I stuck with
lacrosse more I definitely would like to
visit Brazil I like the culture and I
like the food a lot definitely like the
food
fought off holy scum Faiza own Corrigan
Lina I definitely do want to meet my
sister and visit with her and talk to
her but I also would rather do that in
person so I can really feel out who she
is without as much interference as
possible like I would want to talk to
her I wouldn't want to talk to my
grandma through her I had contact
actually court-mandated contact with my
grandmother for a really long time until
the court ran out and I still would
visit with her until she told newspapers
in Brazil that she wasn't seeing me
anymore and then at that point I figured
it would be best for her door at least
gets a timeout or something until she
gets her head straight
two years now yeah Silvana I don't know
if I forgive her or I don't forgive her
I just it is what it is I still think
there are several lawsuits that they
have in Brazil as far as I know pending
against me trying to still remove my
name from Shawn's Brazilian birth
certificate when he was born about three
miles down the road from here families
are going to break up and they sometimes
are going to be living across borders as
long as you keep it into a normal not
hostile environment you're still going
to have contact with both sides of the
family and it's going to be a more
normal thing for the kid that's growing
up Shawn is he's a tough time trusting
people because those were people that he
loved and trusted he realized there were
a lot of things that said they said that
weren't true I always would hope that
our case would shine a light on the
tragic issue of international child
abduction I mean we have the Hague
Convention and the whole idea is to
return the child as quickly as possible
and there is a six-week premise where
the Hague should be started to finish
and we see that doesn't work I'd like to
say do not believe everything that you
see on the news just because a lot of
the times the people that have the money
are pulling the strings
it's like a Portuguese it's Mahlum dodgy
[Music]
it's my entourage
[Music]
