This letter is addressed for US citizens appealing to the US consulate, Shri.
Ruswa, you are right. We have lot of readers from the US, I am hoping they will be able sign and show their support. Also, we all can help, spread the word.
I am from india and i am amazed to see that these problems exist in USA.I used to think that its a perfect place.
Yes, a lot of people are naive like you. You get taken in by the hype and humbug of the media. Time to grow up!
To Shri and all:
Thank you for taking the time to do this. As my daughters and I near the 4th Anniversary of being torn from each other, I find myself rereading my own words, tto see what could have been said more. I think enough was said.
We are still fighting. My youngest two, now 14 and 9, are still gone. My oldest daughter however is now 18 and is finally free. She is living with us and flourishing like the flower she always was.
Regardless of whether you are a US citizen, you can write to the US Consulate and the US State Dept of Children’s Affairs. It is not illegal and in fact will help draw their attention to the plight of children like mine that have been involved in an international abduction.
There are children all over the world that are missing like mine. Plleae take the time to help in the ways that you can.
