Barbara Bevando Sobal, Attorney at Law, New York, New York, bsobal@aol.com, bbs@bsobal.com
NYU School of Law, J.D.; listed, International Solicitors, USA; fellow, International Academy of
Matrimonial Lawyers, at www.iaml.org/. Ms. Sobal gives special thanks to Lady Catherine Meyer for all
of her cooperation, tenacity and, most of all, her courage. So many abducted children and their families
already have, and will, benefit from her cause. May she some day be reunited with the two sons that she
so adores. Ms. Sobal gratefully acknowledges Werner U. Martens of Munchen, Germany, fellow,
International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, for his assistance in providing the German cases in their
true form, which were subsequently translated into English. Many thanks also to Sheelagh Taylor, former
Director, London European HQ, International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC),
http://icmec.missingkids.com/, for all of her help, dedication and understanding of PAS, and the Hague
Convention Treaty. Most importantly, Ms. Sobal wishes to express heartfelt sympathy to all of the
children, parents, and families who have suffered psychologically and/or physically from child abductions
and PAS. Your pain is the essence of this article.
