America's Stolen Children Network - International Parental Kidnapping is Child Abuse

Description

International Treaty Violations in the case of Celina and Stephanie Yavelow

Celina (14) and Stephanie (almost 11) Yavelow are both native-born American citizens who have spent more than half their lives in the United States. They desperately want to return to their home country, the United States, to go to American schools and churches and to speak English (their native language) with their American friends. Their father, Christopher Yavelow, is also an American citizen. Their mother is Swiss. No one in the family is Dutch.

Against the children's wishes and without giving them a chance to be heard, the Dutch courts have removed all of Christopher Yavelow's parental rights. From the beginning of this case in January of 1999, Christopher Yavelow has asserted that he would provide unlimited access of the children to their mother by whatever means desired, phone, email, personal visits, etc. The children want this and they know that they will only have access to both parents if they are living with their father. They are very unhappy in the present situation.

The Netherlands is violating articles 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19 of The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child concerning the Yavelow children.
