Goldman

David Goldman and his 8-year-old son have been separated thousands of miles for years. Goldman's wife traveled to Brazil when the boy was young for a vacation. She called her husband days later and said she was never returning to the U.S., or to him. She remarried a powerful Brazilian attorney and later died in child birth leaving her son, Sean, in Brazil with a strange stepfather. Goldman is now trying to gain custody of his son. He has made numerous trips to Brazil to see Sean, but never to bring him home.

At the beginning of this case, the media was very biased, only presenting Goldman's side of the case. Now, the stepfather is speaking to media outlets in Brazil and the U.S. presenting his side of the story. But wait. Isn't there a third side to this case? Ah yes, the son in the middle of this heated custody battle.

What about him? What about what he wants? I'm not saying he can make an educated decision at age 8, but has any media outlet even tried to see what he wants? I'm also not trying to imply that he should not be reunited with his biological father but the job of the media is to give an unbiased view on news (as hard as this is for some people to fathom). All I want to see is what an 8-year-old boy wants. Is that so hard to present?
