Desperate French father describes his daughter's abduction to Poland; asks for help.
Andreas Serghides writes about his lost daughters to an abduction by a Polish mother, and corrupt judicial system. Another victim, another crime, but Polish judges and authorities seem to be deaf and blind to the real problem.
POLAND: The Polish Central Authority has been cooperative and responsive in its dealings with the U.S. Central Authority. However, the U.S. Central Authority has informed the Polish Central Authority of concerns that the Polish judiciary is not fulfilling its obligations under the Convention, in large measure because it considers issues related to custody in Hague proceedings, makes inappropriate use of Article 13 (b), and affords uncertain, uneven enforcement of orders.
It's a holiday season - Christmas, Santa Claus, presents, egg nog, etc - but forgive me if I don't feel festive. It has been five (5) months since the District Appeal Court in Gdansk has issued its final ruling on my Hague Convention application to return the children to USA - and my children are still in Poland! One would think that it's impossible. How can it be?
the Polish legislature passed and the Polish President signed it - a new bill that changes current court order enforcement procedures as they pertain to the Hague Convention cases. Will things change? Time will only tell.
