While the father was supposed to take fahad-Louis, our son to Disney land in Paris as we had a shared custody in France, he rented a car to drive to Madrid where the Omani ambassador issued a laissé passé allowing him to fly to Oman from Madrid, against the french court order.  My baby boy has been teared apart from his mother, unlawfully and used as a tool by his father to seek revenge and to destroy me because I have decided a few years back to put an end to my husband’s daily physical and verbal abuse, so I left him.  This is a clear breech of human rights but parental abduction is legal in Oman.  I am indeed devastated and my pain is indescribable. My heart is shattered and I feel soulless.  My baby boy and I have been separated since the 17th of April 2022, more than 4 months.  the father is refusing to give me any information about Fahad-Louis, when he his sick for example or even in which school he enrolled him.  I am asking for financial help as the legal fees are very costly and my fight will intensify as September approaches..  Thank you so much for your constant support, I am forever grateful".
