KIDNAPPED CHILD ALERT!!! (8-Year Old American Boy Kidnapped From Mother By Angry Ex in Sihanoukville)

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Slow down there partner.

None of the players in this are Cambodian. All born and raised (presumably) in the US.
Ok, so why did she claim she was the sole legal guardian in Cambodia and the police were helping her? that's the bit that confused me.
Still brings us back to whether the child legally left the states before the court order or illegally after the court order. And it still doesn't excuse the kidnap. Once you decide laws only apply when you don't disagree with them you have anarchy

Mira's gone blond? She's a child. There are more important things to focus on. The mother left a facebook comment vouching a friend? She can't comment on a post? Armchair lawyers and ambulance chasers. This board is full of cynical and judgemental people who are spending too much time in front of the computer wallowing in their misery. What a waste of time. Thankfully there are some sensible people on here who chose to be kind snd empathetic. No one knows what that woman went through and she was brave enough to put her story out there. Can't imagine how hard it's been for her with all this negativity and gossip about such a tender issue between a mother and son. The guy who shoved 2 a kids in a van with a bunch of bible thumpers hasn't said a word which might say a lot although others might disagre. The organization of religious zealots involved seemes to think Cambodia is a heathen country that needs to accept Jesus. The way they trolled that mother after the fact was beyond strange. He who has not sinned cast the first stone. Time to leave this family in peace.

Custody and family issues are for the courts to rule on, it's ridiculous that this is even discussed here. Such posts should not even be allowed.

I'm surprised this pearler from Mira months ago didn't get any airplay. Like you GMac I have doubts about Mira-the-poster being Mira the daughter (Can someone who's 17 have departed so far from her mother's vernacular and semi-dimwitted posts at such an early age; Psych 101 says NO, and yes Mira; please live-feed yourself expressing highly intelligent responses to tricky and emotive personal questions while balancing a plate on your head and holding a spoon).

Regardless, this PUN (was it intended Mira?) is just gold!

On some of the early advice received in posts on COE"...(because most of them have been very inciteful and productive)"

Yes, she has gone blonde. Her ethnic Vietnamese girlfriend in Siem Riep posted selfies of the two of them on facebook.

She was reported as being 17 year old in October. She could be 18 by now. There is nothing wrong with commenting on the appearance of a person in their late teens as long as it is not in a sexualised way. Anyway, when teenagers post selfies on facebook, they are expecting to get attention.

The guy was accused of being a scammer, and Rochelle Costigan, a convicted thief, vouched for him as being a top bloke and not a scammer at all. She can comment, and others can say that she's not the most reliable character witness about who is and is not a thief.

I think there's a business opportunity for kidnap tours of Cambodia

The mystery aspect can be marketed: 'For the holiday with an ending no one can predict!'

^ This!
If everyone could please ONLY discuss shit they are 157% sure of. I mean, it seems totally unreasonable to make suggestions or draw inferences from random posts on some fuckin forum on the internet!
So!
LEAVE MIRA ALONE or someone will have to be Frank wirh you!
