On October 15, 2023, citizen D turned to us for legal and other assistance, upon the illegal detention in the United States of his minor son, a citizen of the Russian Federation, Maksim, born in 2013, by the former spouse of citizen M.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thus, according to the principal, in July 2023, D gave the necessary consent to his ex-wife to take their minor son from the Russian Federation on a two-weeks-vacations to Houston, Texas, USA.<\/p>\n

In early August 2023, the ex-wife M explained to our principal during their telephone conversation, that she categorically would not to return their child to Russia and that her son (Maksim) would permanently live with her in the United States. After this conversation, D’s ex-wife blocked the means of communication available to her son with his father, including the built-in APPLE IOS parental control application.<\/p>\n

According to the principal, it was the end of August 2023 when Maksim called him using FaceTime on his phone. During this FaceTime call, the minor reported that his mother had deceived him by saying that they had only been going on vacations to the US, and she had had no intention of returning him home to Russia. And then, contrary to his desire, he was forced to stay in the United States with his mother (the child has been living exclusively with his father in St. Petersburg, Russia for the last 5 years).<\/em><\/p>\n

After the son’s confession, the principal began recording all video\/audio calls of his son. During these calls and among other things, the minor Maksim informed his father that his mother had had changed a lot; she had begun to use physical, psychological and other violence to his regular demands to return him to his father in Russia. Generally, she began to mistreat him and he was afraid of her: to discuss his father with her or the possibility of returning to Russia meant to provoke her flashes of anger and violence against her son. He also said that several times in a similar state of anger his mother had thrown scissors, a kitchen knife and other objects at him.<\/p>\n
