Why Act
A five-year-old boy was involved in a legal battle after a tragic cable car accident in Italy. The boy was orphaned, after losing both of his parents and his brother. His grandfather moved him to Israel where he intended to raise the boy. But the boy had lived in Italy prior to the accident. His aunt demanded his return to Italy and won her case. The boy has returned to Italy. Though, he spent months of litigation in a foreign country after he had already suffered significant emotional and physical trauma.
Most people cannot imagine the emotional damage even smaller litigation can place on such a young child. This child’s endured the trauma of the accident, the loss of his parents and brother, and his own physical injuries. His forced international relocation compounded his injuries.
