Sean Goldman marks anniversary of law to help fight international child abductions

Описание: Sean Goldman was just a boy when he captured the nation's attention.

His mother took him from New Jersey to Brazil and said they were never coming home. It took years and multiple court rulings for his father to finally get Sean back.

Sean is now in college and on Thursday he marked the anniversary of a law in his name that helps fight international child abductions.
