Cycling? As in bicyling? Really, I'm all for finding an allegedly
kidnapped child. But wouldn't he be better off... oh, I dunno... taking a
train or a plane to get from place to place to look for his son? Everything
about this story is suspect.

No, cycling as in sticking feathers all over himself and flapping his

"Allegedly"???

Yeah, I 'spose Interpol, the German Police and most Police agencies in
Europe and the US, not to mention all agencies here in Australia,
would involve themselves in an "alleged" kidnapping.

Why not a helicopter?
Then he could just fly over all the places that his nutcase wife might
be hiding with their son, instead of being on the ground and
searching..... and spreading the word.

You really *are* a clueless ****wit, aren't you?

Your whole ****ing life is suspect.

Captain Peter Swallows stupidly missed the point and posted from his beloved

Well, your whole life ****ing is a BUSINESS, innit?

As I stated at the outset here, you missed the point: Jill was implying
that the story is not factual, i.e., that there is no kidnapped child, no
frenetic bicyling daddy, and no massive manhunt.A search for [bicycling
europe andrew] comes up only with the page you cited. If there *were* such a
massive manhunt as you believe, don't you think that it would be carried by
almost all news outlets? God knows the "Amber Alert" system would leap all
over the case if there were a legitimate case like that in the USA; all TV
shows in progress would be interrupted with all available details.

No. There is nothing more tragic and heart wrenching than a stranger
abduction. Sometimes they take these rich kids for money, and it's
easiest just to kill them (no witnesses) once the money is paid.
Sometimes kids are taken to be sex slaves. It's all pretty horrible.

But most "kidnappings" are done by a parent. They didn't get what they
wanted in court, so they take their own kid(s) without the permission of
the custodial parent. That's what happened here. It's the kid's own
mother. And I really don't know what happened. I typed in:

andrew thompson kidnap

and got 64,100 hits.

I shared an office with an international felon for a couple of years.
Of course, I never heard the father's side of the story. The mom says
she went to visit her parents to get her head together. She claimed her
husband was mentally abusing her, and she couldn't figure out what to do
as long as she was still living there. When she got back, she found
that she was no longer married and no longer had kids. He had divorced
her and gotten complete custody of the two kids. She was a foreigner,
and he had important parents. So she took the kids back to the US with
her, without permission of their dad in New Zealand. Well, New Zealand
law said that was illegal.

It is illegal. New Zealand is a signatory to the Hague Convention.

Peter Lucas, you really are a misogynist pig. The ONLY reason your so worked
up over this 'story' is because a WOMAN ran off with her child. If it were
the other way around and the father ran off with the child, would you have
posted the story. NO ****IN WAY.

Don't worry about Boobie twitilger, it would say the Earth was flat if I
said it was round.

That can be seen by the fact that its 'sided' with someone it is not
adverse to slagging off at.

But...... that aside, a simple Google check, as you have done, will just
show that Boobie is sooooo willing to shoot itself in the foot to try and
get a bit of 'one upmanship'..... and sadly, it fails miserably every
time.

She got an adverse psych report (from a completely independant psych, who
was appointed by the Family Court of Australia), and unfortunately, she
got to see the report before the next court appearance came up. She knew
she was going to lose, so she abducted her son.

I wonder how Boobie is going to try and explain them away as lies, and
fabrications???


I 'spose Interpol is telling lies as well, seeing as they have alerts out
in 187 different countries for her?

http://www.australianmissingpersonsr...ewThompson.htm


As for being in the US, she has been there before.......

http://boards.insessiontrials.com/sh...d.php?t=346792


"Melinda visted the US and Canada on several occasions on business trips.
These trips included California, Illinois (Chicago), Colorado (Denver and
Boulder), Washington DC, Texas and other states.

In Canada, she visited Montreal and several other places."

And as far as I recall, she's fluent in French and German.

Yup.

There's a court order/custody order in place, and until the 'aggrieved'
parent does something about it to get it changed, it's a binding
'agreement'.

I merely clarified what Jill wrote, I didn't actually "side" with her.
You're a ****ing idiot.

I'm not averse to "slagging off" at *anyone* who deserves it. It's not a
case of my siding with Jill, it was a case of an idiot failing to understand
what Jill wrote, i.e., a failure to comprehend. YOU are certainly prone to
such failures -- along with your many other failures, such as your failure
to complete your military service honorably, your failure to keep your
clients happy now that you have a semicolon, and your failure to satisfy
Ruth sexually because you're more interested in sucking soldiers.

I also know the difference between the words "averse" and "adverse". Of
course, English is just one of *many* things in which I am your superior.

What was the mother's diagnosis? If she were incompetent to handle her
own affairs, why did the court not appoint a guardian to represent her
interests? If she were a danger to herself or others, why was she not
picked up right away, before she got to see a copy of the report?

By the way, what did the court-ordered psychologist say about Ken
Thompson's sanity? Surely Thompson's cycling quest makes him seem a
bit quixotic. And who waits till they're 60 years old to start a
family? I wouldn't have given him custody of a toddler -- someone
unable to tell a third party that, for example, daddy is practicing
"bad touch" -- without a thorough examination. Perhaps the child would
be better off in foster care, or in the care of another family member.

Further, Thompson's a lot more likely to die in the next ten years
than a woman in her 40s. Is it better to be an orphan than to be in
the care of a slightly cracked mother?

You can't expect a crazy person to understand about binding
agreements. Curious though, that a businesswoman and nurse would
suddenly crack up like that.

Even so, motorcycling would be much the same as Mcquowans suggestion of
flying to the various towns/countries .

I can see the fathers reasoning behind cycling around the place..... it's
too easy to miss something as you tool along at 60-100kph on a motorbike,
or fly over in a plane. As well as the fact that the father is spreading
the word on *all* abducted children wherever he stops. Cycling to
different places would give him and his cause more PR impact, than
mcquowans suggestion of jetting in and out like a frikken rock star.


As for that 'Willy PIO' cretin........ it's a sockpuppet of twililgers,
and therefore is obviously suffering the same mental delusions/conditions
as the twit, so is not worth expending energy on.

Oatis, what have you EVER posted here that is on topic? I can tell you ...
NOTHING, not one single thing. All you do is follow people around with your
flame thrower, with language that keeps our kids away from groups they might
enjoy. Why don't you just get lost once and for all?

A missing child is the most terrible thing for a parent, parenthood being
something you're clearly not suited for, and a missing child presumed
kidnaped is one of the worst cases. This isn't some bogus email, it's a
current event, so who knows who might be able to help.

You certainly don't, so take your idiocy elsewhere please.

Well said!!

'Willy boi' is a sockpuppet of twiligers, hence it's involvement in
slagging off at *anything* I post.


But as usual, they *both* get it wrong, and end up shooting themselves in
the foot...... again!!


But as for the twitiligers sockpuppets comment on whether or not I'd post
if a father abducted a child..... *yes* I would.

*No* child deserves to be abducted and taken out of the country by either
of their parents.

We have a working judicial system (Family Court of Australia) that for all
it's faults, does get it right most times.


What's strange about this case is that the mother is Australian.....
usually the kidnapping parent is an ethnic, with dual nationality.

The portion to which you are replying was written by Captain Peter Swallows.
Of the foul language in the conversation, two-thirds of it was written by
Captain Peter Swallows, and it was writted before "Oatis" posted anything,
so the thread had already been befouled. The *only* part written by the
target of your bile is the last paragraph below.

If you can't follow the conversation, it's better for you not to attempt to
participate.

Ah, more lies... The habit is so ingrained with you that it comes easily and
naturally by now, doesn't it? Been living a lie for decades now, and you
never did have much integrity to begin with. That's why you broke your oath
of service -- well, that and cowardice.

I don't know anything about "K", but he seems to be fairly well-acquainted
with "Oatis", so I think your little story about being "born" recently is
most likely wrong -- or just another lie.

There is no point. Swallows just wanted us to stop talking about cooking,
