Witholding Passports

All too often in my experence some separated parents are difficult about children going on holiday with the other parent. Absolvitor has picked up the story about an 11 year old boy, Brendan MacFarlane, from Perth taking his mother to court to force her to hand over his passport so that he can attend a talent show in America. Brendan's performances on YouTube earned him an invitation to sing live on US TV show "Maury's Most Talented Kids" but Brendan lives with his father and his mother refuses to hand over the passport. She failed to attend the hearing due to an upset stomach so the case has been put off until next month.
