On Human Rights Day, Yahoo! News is reporting that a well-intentioned law directed at protecting families has backfired so that most (68%) of the time, its effect is exactly opposite of the intent of the legislation. In this case, that puts women who take their children from abusive husbands right back where from where they had tried to flee.
The Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (Hague Convention): FAIL.
Gee, who ever could have thought to do a study before passing a law?
