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.

It's not always cut and dried and its not always the father that is the perpetrator/cunt in the case, quite often the woman is the problem.
As has been mentioned IF there were convictions recorded and a custody order, then fair enough. But so far, there has been no proof of either, just unsubstantiated allegations.
Thank fuk he had enough balls not to organise 60 minutes to document it.

Incorrect. The only victims in child custody cases are the children.

According to the Cambodia daily article, the father had interim orders which means he was in the (legally) right but it certainly has not concluded yet. The mother is painting herself negatively with the social media postings, speaking to the press and even with this forum thread. Her best bet would be to delete her Facebook rantings and get ready for her day in court.

But what would I know.

Well, well, well....the plot thickens, which I'm sure comes as a total shocker to Digger and Gavin....

Those were posted on Rochelle Valerie Costigan's Facebook page, and while I can't verify the court documents, the criminal record checks out.

I quite enjoy the idea of paramilitary Christian snatch squads being a thing.

It seems the daughter, who was also kidnapped briefly, has responded about what the court documents mean in this case:

Image

"Oh god, This again? Ill repost: I'm calling BS. You're the PI that Nick hired to stalk us in California. I don't know if you've heard yet, but I was also in fact kidnapped and those men were far from brave or courageous. They wouldn't give us even the slimmest scrap of human decency and kept us from using a phone or internet much to my questions and concerns. Guess what, I'm not Nick's kid and kidnapping me was absolutely illegal. We didn't need to be 'saved,' nor did we need someone standing outside the hotel room all night and threatening us if we tried to run. Now, in regards to the court order, I took my brother out of the country before there were any orders barring us from doing so. We left completely legally. I did my research. The new court orders are based off of a misconception that we left after they told us we couldn't. I saw my window and I gladly took it. It was out of fear for our safety. I was witness, along with my brother, to the beating and strangling that he inflicted on my mom, so I couldn't in good concious leave my brother in the custody of a violent man. So, please, take your money from Nick and kindly leave. Thank you."
