David Cicilline: “I think we ought to be particularly concerned.”

The Goldman Act empowered the State Department to seek the return of American children, yet, the department, in my opinion, has not used the full of range of tools as Congress has intended.

Secretly, I was always hoping I would be surprised it would move really quickly, but as a practical matter, I knew that was not the case.

Since the Goldman Act was enacted there has been a decline in the number of American children abducted overseas and that is a good news story.

We have to recognize that would include occupying part of Russia, toppling their government, and replacing them with a different government.
