If this boy is returned to Germany and to his father-which means taking him away from the freedom he gained for himself after walking 1800KM and away from his mother, than, it will be an act of most cruel kind. Let this heroic boy stay with his mother. The bond between a mother and her child is sacred. Please do not break it. p/S. this boy is 17 years old- he is almost a man and he knows what he wants and he wants to be with his mother.

PR101 is absolutely right. Please Russian authorities, be a little smarter that when you managed that sweet little Liza and her mother' situation. In that case "Sarkonaparte" and his Hungarian cronies made fools of you. The answer concerning that boy behavior and heroic journey is simple: Just ask him where does he want to live and respect his wishes ! Best Regards...Jean-Claude Meslin
