Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 711

Tonight's special guest is Peter Thomas Senese from the I CARE Foundation, a returning NAASCA family member. He's been away from us too long, probably owing to the fact that he's been rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Secretary General of the Hague Conference in Washington D.C.! The I CARE Foundation, dedicated to preventing International Child Abduction, has successfully implemented the Prevent Departure Program which stops international child abductions when a parent is a non-US citizen. But the I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Consent Form, released this summer, is changing the global world of abduction prevention. American-citizen parents and their children who are targeted for international child abduction from an individual possessing a right of American citizenship (including dual citizens) now have a new, valuable protective mechanism in place. Peter explains, "In the past, the Prevent Departure Program did not apply to individuals possessing a right of American citizenship. And parental child kidnappers knew this." Mr. Senese will be joined on the show by Dr. Samina Rahmana in New York City (originally from Bangladesh) who 6 months ago had her 7-year-old young son internationally abducted from New York to India via Dubai. Unfortunately, India is not a member of the Hague Convention and her husband is highly insulated in India. She is extremely fearful for her life and will not step foot in India since she and her family have been extensively threatened. Call in to express your support!
