On Canarioca's blog: one of her neighbours in Rio was killed by their driver's son! Yikes!
On RioGringa's blog: There is a very complicated and unfortunate custody situation that has currently unfolded in Brazil involving an American Man, his child, his deceased ex-wife, and his child's Brazilian stepfather. The Brazilian stepfather will not allow the father to see the son. In fact, he defied a Brazilian Federal Court Order that allowed the boy's father a visit, and has effectively kidnapped his stepson. An event in support of the father was held in Ipanema this weekend and apparently people tried to sabotage it. What can we do to help? Check out the blog, Bring Sean Home, and get involved in the letter-writing campaign. This is a very sad situation!
On Eyes On Brazil: I learned about the Carandiru Massacre, which happened 16 years ago and killed 111 inmates in a prison in SP...
