STORYLINE
A Brazilian family delivered a 9-year-old boy to his American father in Brazil on Thursday, ending a five-year custody battle.
Sean Goldman was brought into the US consulate by several of his Brazilian relatives, making it into the compound''s front door as scores of reporters and cameramen swarmed around them. His father, David Goldman of Tinton Falls, New Jersey, was waiting for him inside.
Sean cried as his stepfather and family lawyer tried to get him through the scrum of journalists in front of the consulate. Guards had to violently push back photographers and TV cameramen.
The boy carried his luggage and wore a yellow shirt with the Brazilian flag and Olympic rings underneath.
He didn''t say anything as he was led from a black SUV across the street to the consulate.
A little more than an hour after the reunion, they were en route to an airport, and they were expected to fly to the United States within hours.
The boy''s maternal grandmother, Silvana Bianchi, wanted to travel with Sean to the United States to help in the transition, but family lawyer Sergio Tostes said her wish was denied by the American government. Tostes said he had asked the Brazilian government to intervene but authorities said the decision had to be respected.
US Embassy spokeswoman Orna Blum said the US government and consulate were not involved in the travel arrangements, which she said were handled by lawyers on both sides.
Tostes said that the authorities even refused to allow Bianchi to be present at the handover.
"They did not allow his grandmother to go in with the child to be handed over to David Goldman. The boy started to cry, hugging Joao Paulo (his stepfather) saying ''I don''t want to go! I don''t want to go!'' To the people of the consulate, he said, ''let my grandmother come with me, or at least Sergio (the lawyer) come (with me). I don''t want go alone!''" Tostes said.
Goldman won a big legal victory late on Tuesday when Brazil''s chief justice upheld a lower court''s ruling that ordered Sean returned to him.
The Brazilian family said on Wednesday it was dropping legal challenges to rulings giving custody to Goldman. But the New Jersey man said repeatedly that until he was on a plane heading to the US with Sean at his side, he would not feel relief.
