David Cicilline: “If you actually have a choice, then why wouldn't we let the American people do that?”

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.

We must remember that child abduction is child abuse and it has devastating emotional, psychological, and even physical consequences for both abducted children and their families left behind.

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.
