David Cicilline: “Mr. Keating's amendment makes it very clear that that cannot happen in this provision of the bill.”

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.

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 could say that we support a mission that this war doesn't spread to NATO.

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.
