Summary (Justice Demanded)
The court documents present a case of potential bias and unfairness toward Aaron Surina in a family law matter involving his children. The involvement of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) suggests an implicit allegation of abduction risk against Surina. This insinuation, coupled with ‘red flag’ indicators of abduction risk, could lead to misinterpretations about Surina’s intentions, infringing upon his rights as a father.
Moreover, the court’s decision allowing the child to relocate internationally seems to overlook Surina’s strong ties with his child and his home state, along with his financial stability and strong support network. His clean record, devoid of any criminal activity, marital instability, lack of cooperation, domestic violence, or child abuse, appears to be disregarded, implying possible judicial bias.
Furthermore, the court’s permission for the child to travel abroad without ensuring protection of Surina’s parental rights in the foreign court, exposes him to potential violations of these rights. The documents also unnecessarily evoke fear and anxiety for Surina, creating an atmosphere of bias against him.
The documents reveal significant bias and potential unfairness towards Surina in an international child abduction case. Half of NCMEC’s closed cases where children were taken from the U.S. to Thailand only resulted in the children’s return due to the abducting parent’s voluntary action, suggesting ineffective intervention by legal authorities. The Thai Central Authority’s (TCA) lack of legal support for left-behind parents, like Surina, further exacerbates the unfairness of their situation.
Reliance on public information for risk assessment in international child abduction cases could lead to misinformation or incomplete information, disadvantaging parents like Surina. In conclusion, the documents highlight the lack of active support and potential bias against left-behind parents in international child abduction cases, particularly involving Thailand. This places the burden of legal action and navigation of foreign judicial systems entirely on the left-behind parent, which can be seen as both unjust and unethical.
